That's what players of Dark Side of the Moon have to find out. Good story, but the pace is too slow. Unfortunately, this means they'll also have to change Dark Side 's six disks frequently, a maddeningly repetitive task. Dark Side of the Moon is an incredibly slow, even tedious, computer game. Adventure game fans will be pleased to learn that this lethargic pace has little to do with its content, however.
Technology is the culprit here.
And the frequent use of video means gamers must suffer grainy images loaded into a tiny display window, not to mention plenty of video and audio hiccups. Dark Side of the Moon 's pulpy science fiction story, while not quite in the realm of Philip K. Dick or William Gibson, is agreeable nonetheless. The actors' performances in the game are much better than expected. Live-action adventure games are notorious for providing lame, justifiably underexposed actors with an opportunity to strut their stuff. However, the casting department behind this title had a lot of success with their auditions.
