	Discworld Noir review
		Discworld Noir rocketed from number fifty on the list in 2001 to number eighteen on the list in 2003.
		Discworld Noir is based on the novels by Terry Pratchett, and is third in the series of Discworld games.
		Discworld Noir is aimed at gamers who enjoy tongue-in-cheek humor, lots of dialogue and wacky characters caught up in a darkly whimsical mystery.

	Discworld Noir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Discworld Noir is a computer game based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld comic fantasy novels, and unlike the previous Discworld games is both an example and parody of the noir genre.
		None of the characters created for the game have explicitly been introduced into the Discworld novels, although Neoldian, the flsmith of the gods and forger of the Golden Falchion (a major plot element in the game) may be the unnamed flsmith god who appears in The Last Hero.
		The Tsortese Falchion is a parody of the Maltese Falcon.

	Review: Discworld Noir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		Film noir had its roots in the German expressionism literature of the 1920s and 1930s, which resulted in the making of fl-and-white movies that were made using odd camera angles, deep shadows and bad weather.
		Although the "conversation" in Discworld Noir is true to the film noir genre and very often humorous, as well as informative, it may for some game players be viewed as excessive in terms of being overly verbose.

		"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.
		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.

	Too much talking, not enough solving
		Noir is an adventure game I suppose, but the definition is a little loose here.
		Whereas most adventure games are focused on the puzzle-solving, with a bit of talking to give you hints, Noir is almost the opposite.
		The humour of the game is typical Discworld fare, though something does seem slightly off in it.

		For the rest of you, it's a pun on Film Noir, combined with a word from the Librarian's language, who just happens to be an orangutan.
		I was expecting a spoof on the Film Noir Genre, and from the very first scene and introduction I wasn't disappointed.
		I found it a tad easy, and therefore made it slightly too short, as with previous Discworld Games, Act 1,2 and 3 were of a decent length, followed by a truncated 4th Act.
