revolutionary Z-Vision engine gives you unprecedented 360°
freedom. Link up with a friend via Internet, LAN or modem to explore Zork
cooperatively for the first time ever."
Zork Grand Inquisitor is a return to the
original Zorks style while also holding its own as a stand alone game, so
a welcome addition to the Zork series. Using all the knowledge and
feedback the development team got from Zork Nemesis and Return to Zork
they produced a great game. The art style of ZGI is much more at home in
my mind of what Zork should look like, the art put together with the
soundtrack to this game make it an absorbing game.
ZGI uses the version 2 Z-Vision engine
allowing highly detailed graphics and flexibility in one package the new
engine improved on
everything
the original engine could except cut out two things; dragging objects and
vertical panning. Although not a great loss its a shame to see them taking
out innovative features.
Even though it was originally meant as the
first in a new trilogy called the Magic Trilogy and is a good example of
what could have been achieved if the trilogy had been completed, it is a
very good game to end the series with.
