Most of Igrodelov know: literature is such a free bank of undeveloped ideas and plots from which you can take it with impunity and plagiarize, perverse for pleasure. The main thing is to choose the right book, best is the bestseller.

It is a pity that these bestsellers are not as many as I would like. There is not enough for everyone. There, Tolkien Already from all sides they proceeded, before Perumova also reached out, but on immortal creations Rowling In general, you can’t attempt so simply after Electronic Arts. The old -fashioned fairy tales tasted the old man McGi. On a red hat with special cynicism, only the lazy did not trample. Now, it seems, the turn has come to the classics. Yes, yes, to those oldest books that are lonely and meaningless dust on the shelves of school libraries. There, Pushkin already received from the feet based on when Dreamlore Games turned "Eugene Onegin" into anime. How Shakespeare better?

For William our Shakespeare

“Come on, Uncle Willy, show that you were heating up in your Hamlet there. Be or not to be? All sorts of skulls, graves. Well, Chernukha. No, you have to redo something here, but you are not afraid, let’s bring your play to mind, we will make candy!"-something like this … The monologue could take place between the lone author of Indo Adventura Hamlet and the creator of the tragedy of the same name, if they had a chance to meet. The great playwright himself, because of the shock, would hardly have been able to say anything, even if he had not interfered with his own death.

Hamlet – a fair -haired thug with an idiot smile – almost does not appear in the plot. So, at the very beginning and a little at the end. Deputy. The main character is a small nameless man with a light bulb on his head, accidentally falling into the past. It is he who has to deal with Claudius, save Ophelia and hand over Hamlet from hand to hand the kingdom. On the way, you will have to deal with Polonium, Laert, Rosencran, Guildenster, a giant octopus, penguins and grass, obviously, a waxy by the author, since this can be hung only in a special, altered state.

At the very beginning of the game, we are Mad Casino informed that the evil and harmful Claudius killed the king with the queen, and he wants to marry Ophelia. It is not clear why the author needed such a rearrangement – apparently, so as not to overload the plot with extra characters like Hermlet Mom Gertrude. No, there is a certain rational grain here: the usurpator Claudius really finally killed Gertrude, but, firstly, almost by accident, and secondly-far from immediately. The original Shakespearean villain did not pretend to Ophelia, especially since he had his own wife – the very queen that the author of Advencura so rudely decided at the start.

Talk about the plot in the light of all the he has been funny. What is happening around consists of an absurdity and a stack in approximately equal proportions. Polonium – an alien species Monster in a spacesuit with a characteristic breast inscription "PO" – clearly from the table Mendeleev. He even has a code on the door is typed from the names of chemical elements. Poor Ophelia, a textbook blonde, he holds in an iron cage. Laerte is a terrible monster, a cross between a giant with a nightingale-robber, and Claudius in a free time from murders screams on an electric guitar. In general, something is wrong in the Danish kingdom. But fun. Oh yes, even without shaders, MMORPG elements and advertising. The creator of the game promises, we confirm that there are no these newfangled things here.

Get into the notes

And everything would be good, funny, unpredictable, crazy if not for the author’s maximalism. For some reason, the Creator of Advencura decided that his audience boasts an increased reaction rate and incredible patience. Otherwise, why was it to include in the mainly casual passage of clearly hardcore elements?

The composition of the puzzle is unusually variegated. For a good half "Hamlet" We are engaged in very children’s affairs. We play in the "Stone-Bumago Stone" with a monkey, for example. Moreover, the enemy’s course in the confrontation is known in advance. We solve literally two -way tasks for the movement of platforms – to give the hero the opportunity to pass. Puzzles also collect elementary. The level of all this tinsel is the second grade of a comprehensive school. Maximum.

But after all, there is a second half of Adventure, which consists of arcade elements. The championship in quickly glysting obstacles can be considered open. When it comes to just complicated tasks – life is still beautiful. Get a cursor on a tiny target in a tenth of a fraction of a second – real. It is this task that is facing us in the last chapter. But quickly and accurately click on very small figures-notes, when there are more than one and they are quite very scattered in space-it is almost impossible without many hours of training. Given: scanty allowance of accuracy (you need to get into the note exactly, not on the iot without moving) and the minimum period. Required: a huge supply of patience, hellish desire to get to the final. You can’t miss or bypass such a mini-game. Who the author was counting on – for children and casuals or on hardcore gamers who are ready to go to the denouement, no matter what? There is a suspicion that both categories of people will abandon Hamlet About half.

Look into your eyes!

It’s a shame. After all, there are quite witty finds. When a giant octopus pulls the terrible Rosencranz and Guildenstern, our paphic hero suddenly prolongs: “Rosencrantz and Guildensster are dead!" – which cannot but cause a smile of an understanding player. It’s funny to see Claudia’s secret shelter with a large sign “Secret refuge” above the door. Even more fun – to find fifty doors of various configurations there pieces. But it is completely uninteresting to click two dozen times on one of the seven multi -colored buttons – so that the color of the button coincides with the shade of the eye of death. And then about the same amounts to look for the hero in the crowd on a light bulb sticking out from behind someone else’s shoulder. Too long, tedious, the same type.

Even a stylish art does not save. The picture really looks original, although here it was not without the influence of the same McGi And maybe partly "Motorium". But this is just excusable. Moreover, the colorfulness of the characters in Hamlet certainly its own, author’s.

Well, the game, of course, will not pull on a “strong middle peasant”. Maximum – per flimsy. It turned out very unmarked "Hamlet". Although the heroes are nothing like that. By the way, they say some Shakespeare A good project was muddied with the same characters. Maybe read?

Pros: witty plot trifles;Stylish art;Atmosphere of cheerful absurdity.
Cons: an imbalance of simple and complicated in the gameplay;the same type of actions;difficult to fulfill the reaction speed tasks.
