Proof that the best things really do come to those who wait... and wait
20 May 04 Swifter than a greyhound out a trap. More athletic than a gold medal-winning gymnast. And as lithe and stretchy as your favourite elastic-limbed porn star. Only uglier, and a bloke. That's Captain Rhama for you.
When you're speeding along wooden bridges jutting out of the sheer rock, leaping and swinging from precariously placed beams and struts, the wind rippling your hair and flapping your coat tails, the sense of exhilaration is unlike almost anything else you've felt in an action game. Quite some feat for an adventure that was originally destined for creaky old (and now defunct!) Dreamcast hardware.
P-P-P-PIRATE POWER!
Now on Xbox, it's hard to imagine any other machine mighty enough to power the spectacularly smooth and fast game engine. You thought levels in Mario Sunshine and Prince Of Persia scaled mental heights? Galleon raises the bar into the stratosphere. Literally.
"Then there's the character animation and the voice acting that are so incredibly believable you'll swear you're watching a Pixar movie."
"
"It's easy to pick up, entertaining, and contains a number of rewarding puzzles together with sometimes amusing combat." "
"The story revolves around a ship Captain by the name of Rhama Sabrier; an adventurer by heart, someone who just cant turn down a good quest."
"Galleon: Islands of Mystery fails to live up to its incredibly lofty aspirations, but it does so in spectacular fashion."
