And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. Scooby-Doo! Who’s Watching Who?
- Release Data: Human Soft/THQ, 2006
- Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person
Scooby-Doo! Who’s Watching Who? has a few frustrating features and while this design isn’t the most praiseworthy effort from a technical standpoint, the bottom line is that it’s still a pleasant ride.
So feel free to take a ride in the Mystery Machine, and find out for yourself just who it is who’s watching Doo.
#4. Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth
- Release Data: Asylum Entertainment/Koch Media, 2010
- Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person
While short, and pretty simple, the game is fun and the glitches it has are more annoying than game breaking.
This is recommended to fans of Doctor Who of any age as a good game with a relatively interesting story.
But obviously the developer have aimed this at the younger audience which seems somewhat short sighted.
#3. Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle
- Release Data: Cyanide/Focus Home Interactive, 2007
- Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person
Among ports of adventure games for the DS, it’s hard to find much fault with this one.
Dream of the Turtle is clearly influenced by classic comic adventures of old, but shows enough personality of its own to make this a genuinely fun and worthwhile game.
#2. Jake Hunter: Memories of the Past
- Release Data: WorkJam/Arc System Works, 2009
- Genre: Adventure » 3D » First-Person
The writing is spot-on, the cases are compelling and the extras are abundant.
Adventure gaming fans, particularly those who’ve enjoyed the cases of Ace Attorney’s Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice, should introduce themselves to Jake Hunter. He’s the new private eye in town.
#1. Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero
- Release Data: Konami, 2009
- Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person
The vibrant and childish graphics accompanied by the game’s simple difficulty may point to the game being suited for younger audiences, but anyone can love The Adventures of Kai and Zero.
If you never had the opportunity to play the original, do yourself a favor and pick up its sequel.
