Interactive Parables
SCORE: 98
Graceworks Interactive recently stunned the gaming community with
their first release - The Interactive Parables. This game is set for
those in the fifth grade up to all ages of adults. Interactive Parables
is done in the first person in full 3D. Have no fears though this is not
a first person shooter, in fact there is no violence witnessed in this
game whatsoever. Thankfully this game is good, clean, wholesome, family
friendly fun. Walk, run, jump, and fly through twenty different levels
answering questions on twenty four different parables from Jesus Christ.
Item collection is also represented. In order to progress large gold
stars must be collected by correctly answering questions concerning the
parable being played. Missing questions will take away some of the
player's life. Lose too much life, fall down a pit, or get squashed by a
giant shoe, and it is game over.
The graphics are good, but nothing ground breaking. Many of the same
pictures are on the walls throughout different levels. This gave some
levels a museum feel. That feel works well with this game. Graphics is
the only area lacking a little bit. The sounds are simply spectacular.
The music in the levels are pleasant, and the music for beating a level
is highly appropriate. The sound effects are great, especially when you
get under one of the giant shoes. The sound effect is so well done that
humor is the player's response instead of the usual anger at dying.
Since Interactive Parables has all the parables from Jesus Christ from
the Holy Bible, there is an endless amount of replay. The gameplay is
spot on perfect for an educational entertaining game. There are also a
surprising amount of different gameplay mechanics, and puzzles waiting
to challenge the player. This game is so deep, and has so much in it
that there are more than enough extras in it. Easily months can be spent
playing this game, and it stays fresh.
It goes without saying that this game is an example of flawless
execution of the family friendly factor. The lessons in this game are
ones that are good, uplifting, and edifying for the player. There is
nothing in this game to embarrass or offend you.
Interactive Parables is exactly what a video game should be. It is deep
fun that not only challenges, but also educates and
enriches at the same time. Kudos to Graceworks Interactive, we are
looking forward to more good games from them in the future. We highly
recommend this game.
