The Good
- Two words: Gary Owens, whose masterful turn as narrator adds a value that can&rsquo
- t be underestimated
- graphics and interface are the best of the series so far.
The Bad
- Multiple dead ends and exhausting trial-and-error action sequences make challenge level too high
- no option to have speech and text simultaneously
- goals often unclear
- humor is a bit dated.
Our Verdict
Decent
A qualified success; the positive aspects still outnumber the negative, but the weaknesses noticeably hinder the experience.
Space Quest IV represents a technological leap forward that is sadly burdened with a stand-still game design. Often frustrating and overly difficult, it still contains enough humor and charm to keep players from too easily tearing themselves away.
