Discworld is based on a series of science fiction stories by Terry Pratchett. You play as a dropout wizard Rinswind who is tasked with defeating the dragon terrorizing the population of Ankh-Morpork, the largest city of Diskvord, a flat world that rests on the back of the giant turtle A'Tuin. The game uses three classic Poe stories: 'The Tell-Tale Heart,' 'The Cask of Amantillado,' and 'Berenice.' You go through each story twice - first as the victim, and again as the perpetrator. As if that's not creepy enough, the game also uses as a framing device an original story that is a very intriguing pastiche of Poe mythos. The game was originally released on both floppy disk and CD-ROM, with the CD-ROM version featuring full voice acting for all characters. Personal Notes: A very fun and challenging adventure game. Plot: Atop the flying disk planet known as Discworld, flying along in infinite space, foul things are transpiring in the famous city of Ahnk-Morpork.
In the thriving metropolis of Ankh-Morpork, someone has planted a bomb. Fortunately, there are plenty of people who know how to diffuse it. The problem is: Of everyone capable, the dumfounded mage Rincewind is the first at the scene. Needless to say, Rincewind's efforts didn't really work out and the resulting explosion leveled portion of the city. Besides the obvious effect, the explosion has had a disastrous effect on Death himself.
Since the disaster, Death has disappeared and the dead haven't been collected like they normally were when they passed on. Many have become bored at their own funerals and have wandered off because Death has not been doing his job. When Windle Poons, the Unseen University's oldest wizard, fails to pass away quietly, the Arch Chancellor decides to perform the rite to summon death.
Rincewind finds himself caught in the mix to acquire the components of the spell. Using his ever-present sharpened sarcasm and his faithful walking luggage, he must do the impossible for a half-wit magician.
Without going much further into the plot, let's just say that some bizarre events start to unfold which place Rincewind into the role as Death where the fun and surprises never stop.
In Psygnosis' latest point-and-click adventure title Discworld 2: Mortality Bytes! players can once again fall head over heels into the demented life of the nearly fallen magician Rincewind. Using the wits and the humorous attitude of the bumbling wizard and his trusted com-panion/chest, players must explore the landscape and find vital clues that will help unravel the mystery at hand.
In the adventure, players will come across many NPCs that will be both helpful and also hinder their progress throughout the game. The key to getting anywhere in the title is to coax the NPCs that are willing to help you with Rincewind's sly tongue (coming once again from Monty Python star, Eric Idle). There will also be a number of characters to interact with that will seem to want to do nothing more than cause you trouble in your quests. But no matter what you are or are not getting from them, the experience of dealing with them is bound to be hilarious.
Graphically the title seems to be on par with the previous release, bringing sharp visuals of all the interesting places and characters. And although the graphics are a high point the best feature of all is the amount of humor that will have players in stitches as they walk in the shoes of Rincewind.
Considering the first Discworld really caught a lot of gamers by surprise with great fun and a plot that spawned laughs, the second release really has a lot to live up to. But with what we have seen so far, players are in store for another classic Psygnosis sequel where the designer's only goal is to make it better than its predecessor. It's a simple concept but hard to execute on a title as good as Discworld.
Gamer's EDGE
The fun of any point-and-click adventure game is contained in the locales where the plot allows you to go. And Discworld 2 is a perfect example of this. It allows you to explore many different places that include the fabled continent of XXXX and exotic places such as Djeli Beybi and Holy Wood.
Because Discworld 2 is also non-linear, you can go to places and even return if you have missed an important item or clue, orjust to talk to the inhabitants. It's a thrill to go to each successive screen, and the game never fails to impress beginning players with the outstanding art and cartoony characters.
