Now this Doctor Who story takes the form of a computer game. Last year, fans of the series were treated to four computer games as part of a series called Doctor Who: The Adventure Games. In these games, the player can take the role of The Doctor and his companion Amy as they try to solve puzzles, use stealth to defeat enemies and find collectibles. So you've battled Daleks, Cybermen and the Vashta Nerada as well as learning to pilot the Tardis. But are you prepared to enter the place of gunpowder. Let's find out in my review:
Story:
The Doctor along with his companions, Amy and Rory, discover a suspicious portal on the Tardis and after getting a trace, they then arrive in Old London Town November 5th 1605 where the famous gunpowder plot is taking place. However Rory discovers a woman who was not present in the main story and soon after, Rutans and Sontarans are at war and with an historic moment taking place, The Doctor, Amy and Rory must now stop the war and let history take its toll.
Much like a regular episode of the TV series, only with you taking control. 9/10
Gameplay:
Gameplay is the same as the games from last year. The only main changes is that, Rory is now a playable character but has no special abilities other than shooting and running fast. Historic facts are still within the game and DW cards have been removed which can be annoying at times. Stealth again is the same as before but using Rory can be an advantage towards that as he can shoot things with a slingshot and zapper. Puzzles are a little bit more tricky but not by much and conversations are the same as usual. Nothing really to be excited about other than Rory making an appearance this time. 7/10
I really don't need to go into detail about the graphics as they are just the same as before. Overall though, gameplay and graphics can be improved as can the ability to make something decent for once using this kind of technology. 8/10
