Not on discount , but it's a disgustingly good imitation of NES platformers. Thumbnails got me fooled.

Says the kiddo posting in a thread about getting games for free.

Got it but haven't played it yet.

How is the first game? Worth playing before the sequel?

>>3599226
Great early on, drags a bit in the middle if you don't know what to do, short but frustrating final stretch, cool ending.

If you want to know why the second game starts off with a statue of you in town square, play the first one.

I played the fuck out of the demo back in the day just running around that island. Some of my comfiest gaming memories.

I tried playing it years later and absolutely hated the 2d action stuff. I'd much rather be playing Crusader or something.

Is the game worth playing if I feel that way? Or is there plenty of 3d adventure stuff to make it worth it?

This was Frederick Raynal's primetime. If all the Carmack/Romero ass lickers on /vr/ were logical people, they should also kiss this one's ass.

Nobody, not even in France, seem to realize he influenced the entire industry at that time.

1992: Alone In The Dark. Raynal comes up with the idea of using 3D models within 2D pre-rendered backgrounds to go over technical restrictions. The technique influenced the entire industry for a decade, and not just for survival horror, which he also set the standard of for more than a decade.

After that he is smart enough to resign from Ubisoft seeing the direction they were going for with AITD2 and seeing as they didn't seem to understand his genius.

So he makes his own company, and in 1994, in no time, Little Big Adventure is out. It re-uses the "use 3D models within pre-rendered 2D backgrounds" technique of AITD, but in a completely different way and for a different genre.

To give an example of how influencial that was for the 90's and early 00's: you know that beta version of Final Fantasy VII for N64, all in 3D? THAT is what we would have got if AitD and LBA didn't set a new standard.

>On March 13, 2006, Raynal along with Shigeru Miyamoto and Michel Ancel were knighted by French Minister of Culture and Communication, Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, as Knights of Arts and Literature. It was the first time that video game developers were honored this distinction.[10]

Sadly nowadays he seem to be hiding as big wig producer in Ubisoft's studios, and his actual creative edge seem far off. Nowadays, it IS hard to be truely creative and innovative, especailly if you belong to a big company like that.

Much improved mechanics and graphics over the first game, but I still prefer the original one. It's a lot more playful and imaginative in its atmosphere, 2 feels a bit more like an action game while the first is more of an adventure game. There is something about the way you discover and explore another world that has not been reproduced in 2.

Also 1 has uniquely amazing soundtrack.
