House, M.D.

For the first time our heart was broken when we saw the cartoonish representation of the characters in game. Still, the developers managed to draw all actors from the show very close to reality. But they didn’t put into them no life. There was no action at all! Instead of vivid graphics, we saw ordinary static comics pictures. ‘Well, if there is going to be no action, there must at least be a good voice acting’, we thought naively. But no, the developers didn’t work hard on this point they just chose the most cheesy way to present the story – voiceless dialogs. It seems the developers believe that for player it is a real honer or extremely interesting to read these texts off the screen.

Our heart came to bits after half hour of playing. House, M.D. turned out to be a very primitive puzzle game, pure and very simple. Game’s challenge consists of witty lines of dialogue from either Dr. House himself or his colleagues and then you start a puzzle that has nothing common with what they said. There are no words to describe how these mini-games are flat and annoying.

All in all, it is hard to define the target audience of this game. Are there any players who do not care about production values at all? Or maybe there are players who are keen on primitive gameplay? We query very much if there is one of them.
