Review about Runaway: Dream of the Turtle by CDV Software Entertainment.
Hawaii, an idyllic island paradise. It's the spot Brian Basco and Gina Timmins have chosen to take a well-earned vacation. An impromptu daytrip to a remote and relatively uninhabited island goes awry, however, Brian forces Gina from the plane, giving her the only working parachute. Brian luckily survives the plane?s crash landing, but Gina has disappeared, setting the stage for a highly entertaining story. Humor, hotties, hijinks and a hilarious plotline all combine to make a fantastically fun adventure in Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle, the sequel to 2003's smash-hit adventure, Runaway, A Road Adventure. In Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle, players will travel the world, from Alaska and Hawaii to the depths of the sea and the sky above. Become immersed in a tongue-in-cheek story where you'll meet a crazy cast of miscreants in order to solve a mystery too weirdly entertaining for words in this title that pays homage to all that was great about the glory days of graphical adventure games. This is a DVD and requires a DVD-drive for read/play.

But getting to the main point, the game is purely and simply FUN! The main reason for this is probably that the different places you travel to are wildly different, including tropical places, snowy places, cities, boats, ruins... And the graphics and artwork are simply breathtaking. The whole visual style is completely different from any other adventures I've played, which makes the experience fun and refreshing. I played the game almost straight through over a couple of weeks, since I was always dying to find out where the adventure would take me next. You start out in some truly beautiful yet funny scenes in Hawaii, ending up on a crashing airplane run by "Platypus Tours" (almost seems like you are going to end up in an episode of "Lost"!), but this is only the beginning.
As for the puzzles in this point-and-click game, I would say they are of moderate difficulty. Some of them in the beginning were a bit easier, but a couple had me stumped as I moved on to later chapters. As always, the characters give you many a clue and hint, and in The Dream of the Turtle, the characters have a lot to say! Which is good, because the dialogue and script are really funny and well-done. One of the aspects I most enjoyed was that the writing seemed very well-thought-out and was actually aimed at an audience with a thinking mind on its shoulders! This includes a uge number of references to books, movies, famous personages, and other games.
More technically speaking, the music and sound effects are both excellent. You can tell that an enormous amount of effort was put into every detail in this sense, as with everything graphic, as well.
