		Well-known characters, scenes and dialogue are all given the Discworld treatment (Sidney Greenstreet in the form of an unusually articulate Troll and a Peter Lorre Dwarf) and part of the fun is in identifying the reference source.
		The game's plot is very highly developed, especially for a computer game, with lots of magic and murder--and I would say it's at least as good as Jane Jensen's stories for the Gabriel Knight games.

	Review: Discworld Noir
		Readers and players who are familiar with the Discworld series of books and the two previous computer games may be interested in why it was so easy to make a connection between the film noir movies of the 1940s and early 1950s and the new Discworld Noir adventure game.
		The game provides a map, which serves as a convenience in moving from one location to another, especially since Lewton is required to travel around quite a bit.
		It is an interesting feature for the second half of the game that will inspire your nasal senses to perform at their utmost level of sensory excellence in order to progress through the game.

	Review: Discworld 2
		Since Discworld gained so much popularity--especially among European readers--it was only a question of time before it would spawn spin-offs in other media--and it did when the adventure game Discworld appeared, to be followed shortly by another adventure.
		If you do know Discworld, however, you are aware of the fact that Rincewind is one of the least magical persons in existence and is only a wizard because he wears a pointy hat and a dress.
		The game is not entirely serious, and Rincewind has always funny comments like, "They can't kill me yet, the game has barely started," or, "What, no pointless puzzles and quests?" I like this kind of game much better than the type that pretends to be dead serious even if it's still only a game.

		Discworld Noir, as the name suggests, presents us with a view of the dark under-belly of Ankh-Morporkian society that would not be a pretty sight, were you able to see it.
		Discworld Noir is a mouse-controlled game (though you can use your keyboard if you absolutely must) and it is crucial to read the manual carefully to understand the various mouse functions.
		Discworld Noir is not a crushingly difficult game if you take care to exploit all the functions of the interface and explore every conversation thoroughly, but even experienced adventurers are likely to be tripped up occasionally.

	Adventure Gamers : Discworld
		And while, after many runs through the game, I can usually finish it in about eight to ten hours, the first time I played through it took a few months of puzzling before I reached the end, and that was with help from a few rudimentary walkthroughs.
		For starters, although the game is split into four acts (well, three acts and a short closer), each act is extremely open-ended, which can be a wonderful thing when used well, or can turn a great game into a nightmare when done poorly.
		In my opinion (and isn't that the only one that really matters?), Discworld is seriously overlooked, and could easily have taken a place next to some of the best of the genre, though it stops short of being a classic simply due to its sheer difficulty and the unwieldy nature of the game.

		Pratchett's stories were a hit back during the time of the adventure games glory, so you can imagine how incredibly popular the games of the same characters and name were Europe and America.

		Two of the most underrated adventure games ever, both Discworld games are based on Terry Pratchett's pun-filled fantasy Discworld series, in which the whole world is carried through space by a turtle, and idioms and puns do have a life of their own.

	Four Fat Chicks -- Discworld II: Missing Presumed ... !? Review
		As I crisscrossed the game world, hunting and gathering, I was struck by how easily I fell into the rhythm of the game, how fluidly I moved from puzzle to puzzle, drawn along by the unfolding story.
		This game is a prime example of how puzzle and story should each reinforce the other, and for that reason alone it serves as a precursor to and model of the way adventure games are being made today—simpler puzzles, more story.
		In this game, Barnett, and possibly through him, Pratchett, held up a mirror to the player, to the game and to the whole concept of what an adventure game is. Here's a sample.

	Four Fat Chicks -- Discworld Noir Review
		The game's plot is very highly developed, especially for a computer game, with lots of magic and murder—and I would say it's at least as good as Jane Jensen's stories for the Gabriel Knight games.
		Throughout most of the game, you get a background scene with characters superimposed on it, bobbing as if listening to a private little tune, moving their lips and waving their arms, but all the while no onscreen action is taking place.
		Now, I do realize that classic old-style adventure games rely heavily on conversing, but there was simply too much in this game, especially since there was nothing to watch except the bobbing heads and waving arms of Lewton and whomever he was talking to while listening to what they were saying.

		BAFTA has long viewed gaming with a credibility equal to that of the film and television industry, and this year's event will be no different, with the Video Game Awards being televised live on the popular UK terestrial TV station, Channel 4.
		The league, in which top tier contestants competed in such games as Fight Night Round 3, Guitar Hero II, and Quake 4, was forced to fold due to lack of revenue, mostly because of overly extensive television hype and the huge size of the events.
		The game's reputation for the portrayal of minxish maidens has earned DoA a certain infamy in the gaming industry, so perhaps the news that the producer of DoA Tomonobu Itagaki was inculpated for sexual advances against a female confrere is not surprising.

		Previous games of the series have been classic 2D adventures that follow the humorous and wild life of Rincewind, a clumsy student of wizardry in Discworld.
		Discworld Noir is a third-person point-and-click adventure with pre-rendered 3D backgrounds and characters.
		At best, Discworld Noir should be classified as a semi-sequel, since the game provides a satisfying gaming experience in its own right without the need to first play through previous games of the Discworld series.

		Generally speaking, the first and second games from the Discworld series have more colorful and cartoonish graphics, while the third game from the series has a darker but cooler computer generated look.
		Discworld Noir feels more true to Pratchett’s Discworld than the other games in the Discworld series, even though there are less familiar characters and locations.
		May be it is because the original game has been criticized for all the heavy drinking in a computer game that is aimed for family entertainment.

	Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is the third* Discworld computer game (based on Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' if you didn't know already).
		It's a point and click adventure game, but unlike the previous two, it absolutely reeks of atmosphere and style.
		There are of course several object-based puzzles, but these generally aren't very difficult, and are refreshingly logical - unlike in Discworlds 1 and 2, which had rather more than their fair share of obscure and frustrating puzzles.

	Discworld - PC Review - Coming Soon Magazine!
		The game has profusions of jokes and although I enjoyed them myself, some might think that too much is too much but once more, it is only a matter of personal taste.
		In Discworld, you play the role of Rincewind, a young sorcerer apprentice with as much experience in magic as I, which is definitively not enough to be considered by anyone as a potential threat.
		Discworld's soundtrack is pleasant and changes during the adventure so that it is not always the same tune you have to listen to during the game.

		Discworld’s 320x240 pixel, high-resolution, comic-book-like, super-bitmapped background and character graphics and up to 50 frames-per-second hand-drawn cel animations are colorful and highly detailed.
		If you leave the game unattended, a built in screen saver moves Rincewind to the front of the screen, where he peers and prods the screen while screaming, "Helloooo.

		It is a computer game where a boy called Chip moves through over a hundered levels.
		Read about this (Chip) in Games magazine and it did look good-much like an old game show called Blockbusters where each cell was lettered and in order to get possession of the cell you had to answer the question assigned to that cell with an answer beginning with that letter.
		As the game is entirely open and finite and must end in a result (at most n x n moves, thus at most (n x n)factorial possible games, all having to end in a result), there must exist a winning strategy for one player or other.
