The writing is pretty decent
The writing is pretty decent. But the gameplay violates one of the standard rules of adventure games. You can't pick up things you don't currently have a use for. So that means you click on things and they appear not to be pick-up-able even though later they will be required. So, every time you advance the story you have to go back through everything you've clicked on and click on it again. It's really irritating.

This isn't a horror game; it has no element of horror at all
This isn't a horror game; it has no element of horror at all. In fact it is a light and simple PnC game with lovely humor and IMHO great characters. McQueen and Dooley are the new best bros in Video gaming. Simply put each episode or chapter can be cleared in 60 minutes or less and focuses on a specific case that McQueen and Dooley must solve. The puzzles are mostly simple and I didn't have much difficulty playing through it, although you may need to move your mouse around a little slowly in screens to find certain items. If you are looking for a light and comfy game to play, this is def. a game worth checking out.

Darkside Detective does everything right; from gameplay to story
Darkside Detective does everything right; from gameplay to story. Pros: - Witty writing - Natural and fluid game progression - Perfect for beguinners to the click and point genre - Beautiful soundtrack - Interesting artstyle - Amusing characters Cons: - Gameplay length is a tad short, but not bad for the price - Replay value is limited Overall I highly recomend this game to those that love the point and click genre as well as those who want to try it out. It is a genuienly funny game which the creators have seemed to put a lot of love and effort into.
