The Good
- True-to-life setting and time period rarely explored in adventure games
- good variety of locations
- great music.
The Bad
- Puzzles lack variety and are too easily solved
- story never really takes off
- iffy production values make the game seem rushed out the door.
Our Verdict
Uneven
A near-equal balance of good and bad that can make a game either fall disappointingly short of its evident potential or be mildly entertaining despite its many failings.
1954: Alcatraz has a great premise, but the execution falls flat.
