Runaway: A Twist of Fate, is the third and final (as of right now) entry into the Runaway game trilogy. The story, while leaping ahead a bit in time from the cliffhanger ending of Runaway: Dream of the Turtle, can be considered a direct sequel since it wraps up the events from that game.

If you have played either of the other two games, which is recommended if you want to know the full story, then you will be familiar with the control scheme. This is a point and click adventure, with the left and right mouse buttons used to explore and pick up items. In your inventory you can examine and combine items, and select them to use in the environment. The puzzles are on the same level of difficulty as the first two games. There are no ways to fail, so if you are having trouble just keep exploring and combining items until you find the solution. A nice addition is a button to press that will show you all the hotspots in an area. That definitely helps make some of the pixel hunting go a lot faster.

The graphics have seen a nice upgrade from the previous game. My biggest complaint, the character models, have been improved, and while still not the best, are more than serviceable. The backgrounds are as nice as they have been in the Runaway series.

The voice acting and sound continues to be done well. There are some new original songs in Runaway: A Twist of Fate. Plenty of effort has been put into making the sound top quality.

One of my biggest complaints of the series has been the underwhelming involvement of Gina. Although saving her is a main plot point of the first two games, she is never really present for much of the games. You have no chance to form any sort of attachment to her. That is addressed in this game, where you will be able to control Gina for large parts of the game. She almost feels like a new character, because you did not have much interaction with her in the previous games. Brian is clearly a different character than when he began the first game, but it makes sense after the adventures you have been on together.

Runaway: A Twist of Fate felt like the shortest game in the series. However, what is there is very enjoyable, and I would much rather play a shorter game that is filled with quality content than a longer game that wears out its welcome.

I fully recommend Runaway: A Twist of Fate. I felt like the previous game, Dream of the Turtle, was a drop in quality in the series, but the trilogy ends on a high note. An additional adventure in the saga of Brian and Gina would be welcome.

Grade: B+. This is the third game in the Runaway series, instead of playing as Brian you start off playing as Gina. Personally this one was my favorite game of the series but my least favorite Brian of the series but it's understandable seeing as what he went through I guess. It has a couple of new features over the other two like hotspots and hints. Hotspots point out everything on the screen that can be investigated or used which can be useful if you are blind like me. Hints are just as they sound... Hints.. they can be helpful but sometimes I felt they were to helpful and other times not enough, everytime you click for a hint you have to listen to some extra dialogue so it's there is a bit of "punishment" to taking hints but some of the dialogue can be pretty amusing.

All in all I found this more enjoyable than the other two but before playing this I recommend playing the other two or at least the second as it will make many points of the game make more sense.. I Must have missed something along the way, because when this game came along I was all psyched for the continuation of the series. A point and click adventure puzzle game series with a nice complex plot that felt like someone's imagination had runaway with them (with a nice sci\/fi twist that kept you guessing.) Then came this game.

Essentially, this game says: Nope! Sorry. We made up the other two. They were interpretive fantasies of the main character. Nothing actually happened the way you spent hours figuring out and playing through. It was a terrible let down. Some of the puzzles were a bit obscure in the others, however they (their stories) were entertaining enough to keep my interest and make me into a hopeful for this game. With the onset of A Twist of Fate, I've personally decided not to buy another game from Pendulo Studios.

The voice cast is completely different for starters, as it sort of grinds at your ears after getting to know the other characters in the other two games in the series. Not enough to be game breaking, but enough that you notice.. repeatedly. I'm not saying they're not a good cast, they did do a good job, but you can't get by without noticing within the first 5-10 mins. The artwork is nicely done, and very enjoyable. The color tones of the various areas help set the mood of each chapter splendidly.

All in all, taken as an individual game it is enjoyable. The puzzles are difficult without being impossible and usually very intuitive. (I did run into a few places where descriptions or items were referenced without having previously been seen, something that I did not run into in the other games in the series.) In particular, A Twist of Fate seems somewhat easier than the other two Runaway games - something I wouldn't mention if it wasn't very noticable. Sadly, it seemed almost dumbed down and changed around for the masses, appealing to a wider audience by compromising story plot and introducing a larger number of cutscenes.

I'm certain someone out there will point out some major flaws in my review for whatever reason, but in summation: I don't like or recommend the game. The game by itself is nice, well thought out, and the plot is interesting- bringing an entertaining conclusion to the series... (that being said, -again in summation- in relation to the rest of the series, the game sucks.). Played Runaway 1 and 2 waaaay back in the days, so bought the trilogy to complete the experience.

Pros:
1. Better graphic and animation.
2. A conclusion to a game (However bad it was).
3. The plot made more sense, if compare to past installments. important if you have established that Bosco's adventure happened in our universe. I have established that his adventure happened in parallel universe so I don't mind the wackiness of 2nd installment. but those who hate 2nd installment, rejoice! This installment is meant for you.

Cons:
1. Seriously? they change the voice actors again?
2. The confusing beginning made me search the web couple of times, thinking that I might have missed some DLC or something. I get it that the game is trying to tell the story in a non linear way, but the way they unfold the plot is really bad.
3. Everything that I have done and achieved in Runaway 2, POOF! gone. The developer axed most of the story in Runaway 2 due to an outcry of fans, which i totally understand. but the explanation that they gave in Runaway 3 is just... lazy. And bad. God It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
4. So many memorable characters didn't reoccur, and the developer made no effort to conclude their relationship with Bosco.

In conclusion, you should still buy this if you want to complete your experience. but this game, on its own, is bad.. Great Adventure Series, Great Fun. Loved Everything about it. If You love Point\/Click ,dont miss out on the Runaway series.. This is the third game in the Runaway series, instead of playing as Brian you start off playing as Gina. Personally this one was my favorite game of the series but my least favorite Brian of the series but it's understandable seeing as what he went through I guess. It has a couple of new features over the other two like hotspots and hints. Hotspots point out everything on the screen that can be investigated or used which can be useful if you are blind like me.

Hints.. they can be helpful but sometimes I felt they were to helpful and other times not enough, everytime you click for a hint you have to listen to some extra dialogue so it's there is a bit of "punishment" to taking hints but some of the dialogue can be pretty amusing.

All in all I found this more enjoyable than the other two but before playing this I recommend playing the other two or at least the second as it will make many points of the game make more sense.. This is the game where Pendulo really started to find their feet in making a good adventure game. Most of the parts of the game that are weak are actually from trying to support things from Runaway 1 and 2. Gina and Brian co-star in this game that begins with Brian's funeral with flashbacks discovering just how our hero ended up where he did.
With a doubleclick speed-walk system and a hint system that's actually fun to use (and yes, I did use it a couple of times), Pendulo have learned from their past flaws and worked up to a new high. The game is beautiful, the characters are entertaining and the puzzles are almsot exclusively clever.
It's hard to recommend this game to people who have not played Runaway 1 and 2 (it ties in fairly closely), but at the same time, it's a great adventure game. The Next BIG Thing is funnier... Yesterday has a couple of neater tweaks, but this is the best overall.. The final part of the three part series of Runaway. As always it's quite funny and easy to get sucked into it, however the problem I had with it was the catch up from the last game when you learn everything was done a little too fast and changed the voice for Brian Basco and a few others (I don't know for what reason) and it's REALLY noticable, as if the guy wasn't even trying to imitate the previous voice actor's way of speaking or tone of voice at all.

Quite dissappointing on the voice side of things, but if you can get over that, it's still quite a fun ride, especially with the implimentation of ways to see hotspots for when you miss some (a complaint I had from the first two games) and even a hint giver who makes jokes about Pendulo Studios employees. However the ending I loved and I can't wait to get stuck into their other adventures. Yesterday and The Next Big Thing.. Played Runaway 1 and 2 waaaay back in the days, so bought the trilogy to complete the experience.

Pros:
1. Better graphic and animation.
2. A conclusion to a game (However bad it was).
3. The plot made more sense, if compare to past installments. important if you have established that Bosco's adventure happened in our universe. I have established that his adventure happened in parallel universe so I don't mind the wackiness of 2nd installment. but those who hate 2nd installment, rejoice! This installment is meant for you.

In conclusion, you should still buy this if you want to complete your experience. but this game, on its own, is bad.
