Jack Keane 2 - The Fire Within
Pros:
-Graphics are clean and lacking in glitches
-Jack Keane with a beard looks kinda like one of the Beatles
-A few exciting set-pieces
-Contains four delicious banana recipies
-Depending on your choices, certain puzzles WILL change. Characters actually acknowledge the alternate order of actions.
-"What the hell? Where did I get this sponge?"
-Dream sequences are imaginative.

Cons:
-You often end up doing things and combining items without knowing why. This isn't always because the puzzles are overly obtuse but because the game routinly let's you START solving a later puzzle before you can FINISH it.
-You start to wonder why the dialog is so hard to hear during animated cutscenes.
-All characters share the same talking animations and there are only about five of them total. The characters also lack emotion both in face and sometimes in dialog.
-The running and jumping is HORRID. Simple puzzles are made infuriating by needing to jump on a box.
-Fisticufts are slow, tedious, and just boring.
-Since the camera tracks the current character, important items are sometimes well offscreen forcing you to run around hunting for them.

Overall: 3.5/10 Hilarious for how not-good and ALMOST good it is.
