    For those who've never played the original, Bad Mojo Redux is a must-have. Load it up and see what all the shouting was about. For those who've played the Win3.1 version, Bad Mojo Redux is what the game should have looked like and, when coupled with the companion DVD, is the deal of the year.

    Undoubtedly one of the "must play" adventure games. There is simply no other game quite like it. The 2004 release is not a new game and not even a remake, however the significantly improved technical quality and wealth of additional material, combined with an attractive price, will make the new Bad Mojo appealing even to existing owners of the 1996 version.

    Revives a true classic, and optimizes it for performance. An absolute must-play for any adventure fan with even a passing tolerance of insects. If you can't beat 'em... join 'em!

    This sucker is hard. Exploration is the name of the game and quite often you will have to perform an action in one part of the house that has ramifications somewhere far off in another room. Putting it all together is definitely a challenge.

    If any game deserves George Lucas-style tampering, it's this one. [Feb 2005, p.53]

    A strong stomach is more important than a Pentium IV for this one. [March 2005, p.113]

    While modern games are known for their slick graphics and elaborate animated sequences, Mojo proves that clever ideas and solid gameplay can trump high-tech tricks.

    The documentary is a wonderful adjunct to the game, insightful and witty, well put together and with some original footage including the audition of the lead actor and a 1996 spot on Good Morning America (check out the price of the game back then.

    There are a few bugs (of the game engine kind) and it’s far from perfect (it’s very short and slightly repetitive), but to experience something completely different that hasn’t been tried before or since is always worth the asking price.

    It’s just that, while I liked Bad Mojo well enough, I didn’t care that much about it, and so the bonus DVD didn’t do all that much for me.

    It's an old-school trip and although it's been updated somewhat to play on the newer PC systems it still retains the old charm with little change in the gameplay.

    Truly repellent content. [Sept 2007, p.75]

    I can't believe this classic is back. Loved it the first time and it still holds up. The DVD extras include a "making of" documentary with crazy stories about the creators cockroach farm. Good buy for $20.… Full Review »

    It's clever, but the puzzles are too easily solved (and solutions are telegraphed), and the game ends too quickly. Disappointing on both counts. It often looks nice, however, and has a quirky sense of humour. Bad acting is made good by its extreme hamminess.… Full Review »
