The game view is that of the third person perspective, a la Alone in the Dark, and Miette moves very realistically as she goes about searching for the necessary items etc. The interface takes a big nose dive when it comes to finding these items though. A lot of the items in the game that you need to find you never actually see on the screen. As Miette walks around, if an object that you can pick up is near, it will appear in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. City of Great Graphics City of Lost Children isn t a total loss though.
Bricks glisten wetly on the sides of buildings.
I think I ve tied my shoelaces together. Visually, this game is a treat and very well done. The combination of the outstanding graphics and music do well to convey the dark, brooding atmosphere of the game world. Like that pretty gift mentioned earlier, The City of Lost Children is a game that is only nice to look at, lacking any real gameplay or plot. The tasks you need to complete are rather boring and very routine.
