Wow – Dark Strokes: Sins of the Fathers Collector's Edition HD Review

Just finished Sins of the Father and I just have to say wow. One of the longest of these genre games I have played. This certainly raises the bar on expectations. Pros: beautiful graphics. Challenging HOS's, exceptional storyline. Very cool twist at the end. This game took several days to complete versus a single evening which is awesome. Good quick navigation, scenes load quickly and the plot really keeps you interested. So many different places without too much needless running back and forth. Really well designed. The number of locations and the beauty of each one was really excellent. I am not sure if it was because this was a ported game from the PC version or what but it was much more complex than the last few i have played. For $4.99 this was an amazing value. This was certainly worth more than many of the $7 games I have played. Cons: these are very few and minor. After some of the cut scenes the display would invert and wouldn't respond to reorientation movements. Never run into this before, I just flipped the device and got back into the game. The map doesn't allow you to jump to locations that I could find and really only showed where you were currently not like the newer ones that allow you to click on and navigate or tell you that there are things to be done. Hint takes at least a minute to recharge which is significantly more than others on casual, but that adds to the challenge! There was a scene where a ladder needed to be placed between two roofs. It was very difficult to place the ladder. There was only a small area where it would succeed which if I hadn't peeked at the walk through would have left me confused. Really excellent game, one of the top ones I have played by BF. thanks for the great work!
