Reviews for Frankie Goes to Hollywood (#1854)

Review by Zagrebo on 07 Apr 2012 (Rating: 5)

One of the strangest and most imaginative games ever, let alone licensed titles. This managed to take the Liverpool band in question's songs, music videos and philosophy and change them into a bizarre mixture of puzzle, action, maze and whodunnit. Everyone should play this, even Mike "the video contained simulated buggery" Reid.

In my opinion FGTH together with 'The Great Escape' and 'Where Time Stood Still' are the best games produced by Denton Designs and three of the best games ever made to the Speccy.
The object of the game is to develop your personality by experimenting and exploring each task, and thus becaming a 'complete person'. The game is quite complex with intricate puzzles and several mini-games to play, each built to help you achieve each personality factor. You also have to solve a murder mystery which will increase your 'complete person' percentage. Once you complete all tasks, you are given the opportunity to search the door to the heart of the Pleasure Dome, where the secret of self discovery lies.
FGTH is one of the most strange and unusual games out there and it may look a bit complex at first but once you get into it you will relaaaax playing it!

Surreal arcade/adventure that I find overrated.

Oddball game that tries to do something different and interesting but doesn't quite achieve it.
