Zzzzzz, a big snore bore... – Parker & Lane Review

Pro(s): Quality graphics in line with the general GameHouse brand Cons: Being a huge GameHouse fan, I was excited to check out this game and am disappointed to find that my anticipation was for naught. I’ve had the game since it came out and am moving through it at a snail’s pace bc it’s so boring; by now I’d be done with a new GameHouse game, even when I try to preserve it and not blast through bc I’m thoroughly enjoying the story & game play. This game is beyond monotonous (even for its genre), has no real character to it and the music is a bit annoying. Plus it seems to be missing a true time management feel in terms of making sure those being served, in this case the investigators, don’t get angry. The storyline moves glacially slow, is boring and the lead female character, Parker, is the worst. She’s too abrasive and lacks any redeeming qualities that draw you into her story/character. Lane seems to have a bit of an interesting storyline, but the storytelling is moving SOOOO SLOW to reveal any of it, let alone the true source of his conflict. I’m somewhere in the 30s level and all I’m getting are snide comments back and forth between the characters and a boring and vague story surrounding the case they are trying to solve. This game is, unfortunately, a swing and a miss in my book.
