what is Kings Quest 8 all about?
Graphically, King’s Quest 8 is a shame. So bad, in fact, that they make Connor seem like a genius in comparison. I am sorry, Sierra, but the original Quake engine is ages better, and I see no reason why it should not have been licensed for this game, especially as it can be had practically for free what with Quake 2 being all the rage nowadays. King’s Quest 8’s engine is slow, imprecise, and unresponsive. The characters often look flat and pasted over the scenery. Distance estimation is impossible, partly because many times taking the same step from different camera angles results in different distance covered. You can either run or walk, but both resemble moonwalking more than they do anything else. You may switch between third and first person views on the fly, useful for some puzzles, but looking carefully you will see that your character has different possessions in hand in each mode. There are not enough polygons to go around, and so you will encounter some interesting rock shapes
