This time we're going to take a look at another port of a laserdisc FMV game for the CD-i, but it did recieve a namechange for some odd reason... Will it be any good? You'll see...

So you ever heard of Cliff Hanger, thats a really crappy FMV game that just steels footage from one of the Lupin the 3td movies, and at the time the probably thought that, ah people in the US or europe will never know who lupin the 3rd is outside of japan, then its like lupin the 3rd actually does get translated and were like, hey we know who lupin the 3rd is now, did you really think we'd never find out you were lying to us?

@Edgefox88 Wow, to be honest, I never knew about Cliff Hanger, quite interesting! Thanks for mentioning that.

Holy crap, I beat this game finally! Believe it or not, the ending is by far the most enjoyable section; it gives you an intense feeling, and it has the most variety; however, the very last sequence feels cheap and it took me a while to figure it out. Ah well, at least the ending does hint at a sequel... either a sequel, or it's just telling you "beat the game on hard mode now, wuss!"

Saaaay, have you beaten this game yet?

[HalfBlindGamer]

@smartlamppost Nah, I don't have the patience to get to the end of this one. Congrats on making it through though!

Dude you are terrible at this game its all about memorizing the scenes and your also taking the hardest ways to get to the end its not easy but ive beaten it at least 5 times it's really used to be a fun game

[HalfBlindGamer]

@JayThrilla25 I agree, I am terrible at this game haha. To be honest, I'll admit I was a bit harsh on the game and overall frustrated with it. not many FMV games managed to do that with me.

Good review! If you like anime, then I recommend seeing the first Galaxy Express 999. Its actually a really goond flick.

[saundersDave11]

Superb as usual.

this game is very easy if youve got a trackerball

@Edgefox88 The footage of Lupin The 3rd was not stolen. TMS licensed the video for use in Cliff Hanger.

[thepirategamerboy12]

I actually think it's easier than what you say.

[HalfBlindGamer]

I think I reached the train only once or tweice too. Mostly I don't get anywhere though lol.
