Super City: Special Edition. Extra Lives. Back Wars. I felt it was important to include a stereotypical Jesus whom you see in most of these shots so that people could at least relate to what was going on. If you ever get bored of him, however, you can edit him by hand or ask the computer to generate an entirely random one!
This throws up the rather controversial prospect of a Jesus of any race or gender. Although not historically accurate, it's great for challenging your preconceptions and makes the teachings more important than the man.
The same applies for all the other key players - so John The Baptist and your fellow disciples can change each time too. It's even possible to discover that the Virgin Mary is actually a single father?!
God's Own Country The look of the scenery has also evolved to match the improved characterization. The game breaks ancient Palestine down into a staggering 32 separate locations. To put that into perspective, Wrecked's island consisted of 5 and Hard Time's prison had We're talking about extremely sophisticated locations too - which range from sprawling outdoor terrain to indoor architecture and some that combine both.
As ever, it's necessary to clear one scene and reload another every time you move on. A necessary evil I'm afraid. However, as in Wrecked , the process is made less painful thanks to a map that charts your journey while you're waiting! Appropriate segments of this map also pop up during the game as you approach an exit path, which - along with clear signposting - helps to give you a sense of direction I've taken the same basic premise and fleshed it out with all manner of additional scenery.
Most notably, the most diverse and realistic looking foliage yet - which ranges from big trees to tiny plants. It's achieved by displaying perfect 2D sprites instead of half-baked 3D models. The only problem is that 2D sprites don't look quite so "perfect" up close, but it's worth it to see some nice scenery in the distance which is where it'll be more often than not. As ever, the game also brings additional atmosphere to the landscape with distinct times of day that come to pass in real time!
The lighting slowly shifts from day to night and back again to give you a sense of living in a real environment The Eye In The Sky You can enjoy the view with a revamped manual camera that's controlled by the mouse.
Once you get used to it, it's quicker and more intuitive than stabbing at keys. Trust me, you'll be reaching for it when the cameraman gets tied up from time to time! The camera tracks your character from behind by default, but the scenes are so chaotic that it's not always ideal.
The action is also accompanied by the most advanced music system yet. Instead of banging you over the head with one main theme, this time I composed 4 distinct ones and got the game to the fade them in and out at random. That means it's finally possible to have background music in one my games without getting a headache! Although there is an option to break the volume down to zero if you disagree The Greatest Story Ever Told The game essentially involves following Jesus around these various locations and enjoying the most sophisticated storytelling mechanism my work has ever produced.
Most games tell a story with preset cut-scenes of some description, but here the actual game engine is used throughout. Jesus and his co-stars have a set place to be at a set time, and the game will conspire to put them there waiting for you to make an appearance. They will then act out a scene using the same input and animations that are available to you. That's both a blessing and a curse, because it opens up the possibility of the story being told BADLY! But it's worth it to have the sense that everything is real and anything can happen.
In addition to a main storyline that unfolds chronologically, there are also hundreds of sub-plots that are linked to your actions. If Jesus sees you doing something or acting a certain way, he will give you an impromptu sermon about that - whether it's the folly of being violent or the benefits of a vegetarian diet. Likewise, there are conversations to be had between you and the other civilians - many of which are open-ended as in Hard Time and can go either way.
A prime example is the issue of "denying" Jesus once he becomes unpopular. The Kingdom Of God Is Within You A project about Jesus is controversial in itself, but one of the game's biggest revelations is that it attributes his powers to the Eastern art of meditation.
We often think of Jesus in Western terms, but the Eastern influence is plain to see for those that can relate to what he's saying. He mysteriously disappears between the ages of 14 and 28, before returning with some radical ideas. Some scholars place him in India during these formative years. At the very least, it seems he was exposed to a pacifist Jewish sect which preserved the original teachings of Moses.
