  • Summary: Disaster Report (also known as "SOS: The Final Escape") places you in the role of a newspaper reporter stuck on an island that is continuously hit with severe aftershocks from a major earthquake. The objective is to escape-but to do so with as much of the story behind the destruction of Capital City as possible. Considering the Government would like to keep the truth to itself, you'll soon find out that the wrath of nature may be less dangerous than upsetting the status quo of the Government.

    Add to that some late-game plot twists, several path-altering choices, a wide variety of obstacles to overcome, multiple endings to discover, and a wealth of small touches (like your character's clothing deteriorating with each narrow escape) and you've got a progressively energetic game set in a fantastic locale: one step beyond everyday life.

    One of the coolest things I noticed though was the fact that, as you progressed through the game, your clothing would become more and more torn.

    If only it were more polished, this could've been a fantastic sleeper hit. [Mar 2003, p.46]

    Truly a different game. It is easy to point out its major flaws: the graphics are simple, the soundtrack is minor, there are gameplay issues mainly when it comes to the camera. But we must also have in mind that this is a small-budget game which, at times, beggs for a bigger dimension. Although it is unique at depicting what it sets out to depict: a city falling in front of your eyes due to aan earthquake. Your character is one of a few who has been left behind, fallen asleep. If you like to try out different games, which aren't completely impossible to play, then this should be a great pick. Not only does it have a great eastern taste to it, as it pays an homage to one of videogame's best creations: ICO. I hope that the "sequel" makes its way to Europe!… Expand

    Not the best of graphics but an awesome game none the less. Not many games around this fun anymore without a ton of cussing tagged along with it. Hearing foul language truly saddens and sickens me but this game is a pretty clean game that I own and really enjoyed a lot.… Expand
