# Review

In this Tim Schafer classic, the story follows Ben (Roy Conrad), the leader of the Polecats biker gang, who are framed for the assassination of the CEO of Corley Motors (Hamilton Camp) by the shady Corley Motors vice president Ripburger (Mark Hamill). The main gameplay is a point-and-click where Ben must prove his innocence and get revenge on Ripburger.

Point-and-click dialogue

The story is clichéd but the well-written dialogue with the dark humour are both entertaining. I especially enjoyed the colourful cast of characters with great voice acting and the heavy metal soundtrack (both sound really good in the remastered version of the game). The actual gameplay is a tad lacking; the puzzles are mostly decent, but I had to look a guide for some of the more obscure solutions. Parts of the gameplay, such as bike-fighting sequences can feel clunky, dated, and repetitive.

Clunky bike-fighting
