Give My Regards To Broad Street

For those of you that don't look up from your computer screens very often, the title of this program is taken from a film made by Paul McCartney, and he approved this game. Some unkind person said that judging by the film that was no recommendation... but we don't believe in repeating vicious gossip.

Actually, whatever your opinion of the film, this game is very good and deserves your attention. The game comes well packaged in a large presentation box, and you are supplied with a map and mini biographies of the characters. These are important as you have to track down all seven to retrieve the ten lost chords before midnight, or you join the buskers.

The display is in three main sections, the top being an animated arcade screen around to the tube stations trying to locate your band. As each member leaves home you are told and, knowing the time of day and their personal habits, you have to try and drive to the tube station they will exit from.

The graphics are colourful and informative and are animated well, they may not be "state of the art" but they work well and provide satisfactory realism.

Another game for those who like to think fast while playing a furious arcade game. Recommended.
