heir
A Pale Man of the North seeks to rid a people of a most unusual plague, and inherit a Kingdom in heir by Antony "Shift" Lavelle.
I liked it quite a lot except for one detail: The shaking Drove. Me. Mad. Absolutely crazy (not that I had far to go). If there was a way to turn that off, it might just make one of my top 10 favourite games.
The jump from shoulder to eyebrow is IMPOSSIBLE. I mean it. IMPOSSIBLE. A solid 5 minutes of trying convinced me that this game was no longer worth my time. Pity, because I usually don't like this kind of game to begin with but I was quite enjoying this one up to that point...
Okay, this game wasn't just a simple walk in the park, which adds a nice challenge. As for the end... treat triumph and disaster the same. Well... I think for most of us triumph is always going to be easier to swallow than disaster.
On chapter 3, at the beginning, go to the left and jump off. Falling falling falling... When you finally land in the water you're standing on a ledge. Go right, and fall down to some vines. Go left now, all the way, and fall down. Make sure you hit the checkpoint. Now go down the tunnel and the water goes away. Does that help?
Last!
ReplyDeletefun game.
ReplyDeletegot stuck on the left shoulder.

ReplyDeletei finished the game and the ending was unexpected and sad.. :(
ReplyDeleteThis game was a 10 out of 10
ReplyDeletespoiler for left shoulder:
ReplyDelete1.) Take a running start.
2.) jump off.
3.) hold down the right-> arrow key
4.) land in water.
Oh and, First!
there are some things which are impossible, because it's not nessasary to complete the level.
ReplyDeleteand sad ending, but i wished they was a boss stage that requires defeating the king.
If you liked this game and you have a Playstation 2, you should check out Shadows of the Colossus. It's very similary gameplay.

ReplyDeleteYou can complete all three levels... sometimes the seemingly shortest way isn't the correct one ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish there were more levels, and yeah, ater all that work I don't even get to rule the kingdom. Whaaa..?
But ye, that shaking was a bit annoying. Liked the checkpoints though - at least you don't have to start from the beginning...
What a sad ending!!! Why?? it's unfair!!! But loved the game =)
ReplyDeleteHeather, you're right. It is impossible. You're supposed to drop and climb the other side of the giant.
ReplyDeleteloved this game. and i don´t think that it´s difficult.
ReplyDeleteBut the end was...i don´t know... perhaps somehow sad....
AWESOME game!
ReplyDeleteRacist ending >_>
ReplyDeleteGreat find, Bart! This game rocks! Though the ending doesn't. xD
ReplyDeletethe ending was sad....poor guy..he did all that for nothing...fun game tho :D
ReplyDeleteIs this scary
