IF game and golf simulator in one package, September 18, 2011by Victor Gijsbers (The Netherlands) I know little about golf; in fact, my golf knowledge has increased significantly by playing Textfire Golf. So I cannot comment on the accuracy of the representation of golf that Cadre gives us, but it feels realistic and detailed to a non-golfer. Was this review helpful to you?

Comments on this reviewPrevious | << 1 >> | Next Emily Short, September 4, 2011 - Reply This is interesting. My take on it was rather that the point of the game was to (Spoiler - click to show)manipulate your colleagues via the medium of golf rather than to win per se -- a typical Cadre-esque bit of misdirection there. Which made the game more intriguing to me -- enough to make it worth replaying a couple of times. Victor Gijsbers, September 18, 2011 - Reply Emily, perhaps I am missing something, but how do you manipulate your fellow players? I replayed the game and I understand that the end depends on the order in which the players finish. But you cannot influence the scores of other people, can you? Emily Short, September 19, 2011 - Reply Scores, no, not that I'm aware of; but you can manipulate their feelings and reactions, I think including some reactions during the game as well as at the end. (As I recall, anyway -- it's been years since I played.) Victor Gijsbers, September 24, 2011 - Reply Hm, OK. I can't say that I found any rich ways of interacting with the characters during the game, but perhaps I didn't look well enough or I wasn't perceptive enough. (The major problem of reviewing interactive works, of course.) Victor Gijsbers, September 5, 2011 - Reply I believe you may be right. (Spoiler - click to show)(The ending where you win the golf game is certainly not the "winning" ending, as one of course suspects from the beginning.) But I wasn't too eager to try the game again, because I had hit quite enough space bars -- if you see what I mean. So there may be interesting misdirection, but I wasn't provided with enough incentive to explore other directions. This may just be apathy on my part, though. I see you have given the game five stars, and that might be inspire me to try again. |
