BruGamers Review: Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law



Anyone who have ever got the chance to watch the episodes (or anything to do with the old old series) will undoubtedly know how cool Birdman is in a lot of way. Now, to play a game based on the character acting as an incompetent, bumbling and mild mannered lawyer, you can never go wrong.

But, as adventure games goes, its quite shallow on the investigation/interrogation side, for the most part, you can win the game in one session and still complete the game laughable (no pun intended) secrets. Yes, you heard me, this ain't Phoenix Wright.

Despite this, I did have an enjoyable time as I screw around with some of the absurd options that were given like why in the world would I want to call Avenger (Birdman's trusty bird sidekick) three times? For the comedy, of course.

So despite the shortness of the game and the lack of investigation, it is enjoyable to some extent, if you're just spectatoring while the other player just trudge on with the gameplay.

Okay, I think I must've been hard on the interrogation part, but it does have some "A-HA!" moments.

Definitely, for the obscure gamers out there who can't have enough of parody induced craziness. Go get it.
