What players say
nice and interesting game, the story is really interesting, gameplay not so much
1 more review, not recommended
The Long Reach pays homage to old school LucasArts games through retro graphics, inane humor, and "moon logic" puzzles. In other words it's designed to waste the player's time, has terrible dialog, but at least it looks good!
