    This game sucks and I think the positive reviews are from shills. I like these kind of adventures, but the characters are annoying and the puzzles are stupid. This is a real letdown compared to something from Lucasarts. I feel ripped off.

    Great game, great characters, great music, funny too. This game is great, can't wait for number 2. A must for all cartoon-adventure fans.

    This game is so buggy for once, I had to find an unofficial patch to complete it :/ I'm glad there is a classic kind of adventure out there, the graphics are quite good but it shows the creators aren't skilled enough to move the videos while somebody is talking...very stupid looking. The audio is pretty good though, and the story isn't so bad either. Good locations but illogical puzzles make this a mediocre game, you'll play through it once and then it's surely forgotten quickly. Let's hope the latino crew can dish out another game with less bugs and better puzzles next. Oh, Gina surely isn't hot...… Expand

    Very interesting and time-consuming. Never getting boring and almost everything is logical. Great music (especially in Douglasville at the bank, nice guitarwork) lovely pictures and movies, beautiful girl and most of all I'm having the time of my life playing this game. (I never amused myself with an adventure game like this since the first broken sword). Great job. I'm still working my way through to the end but I am already wanting to play a sequel of this one. MY FAVOURITE!… Expand

    It has nice graphics, nice, likeable characters, quite funny story. Some puzzles are just perfect, but some of them were just too hard to unravel. I've to mention positive humour, than really can make you laugh. But it's still "only" a good game, far below my favourite adventure games.

    If you're partial to a cinematic experience than 'Runaway: A Road Adventure' might just be up your alley. Although on first glances it seems like a standard point and click adventure game, you'll find out that it has a completely different individual element to it that is a rarity in modern day titles. A distinctive charm if you will. The combination of 2D and 3D graphics is neat but alas the characters themselves aren't that interesting. The music is gorgeous but the main story itself is rather weak which is disappointing as it had so much potential.… Expand

    The score reflects more the quality of the engine rather than the gameplay, but I liked the game well enough, and there is such a dearth of other adventures out there, that it's a game worth owning if you enjoy the genre.

    Brings the adventure much needed color and style; but in the end it succumbs to the same faults as other games before it.

    There's no way around it: Runaway is an instant classic, and an absolute must-own for all adventure game fans.
