Version: Facade 1.03
"great in theory, poor in practice"
Cons: This is the first of what bodes to be many AI games, which stand to revolutionize the gaming industry. But this game is far too buggy and not nearly as advanced as it need be..... First, it is rather limiting only to be able to write a single short line of text (which I'm sure is presently a technological constraint). Second, the characters quite often misinterpret or don't respond at all to a comment. They seem to be responding to certain words in a comment rather than the entire comment. They are for the most part unable to differentiate between questions and statements. Moreover, when they do understand the statement, their responses are often unrealistic. Also, as this is an AI game, typing answers becomes a crutch, because doing so is much slower than speaking, which- when technologically possible- would be the ideal manner in which a player would respond; one often cannot type in comments quickly enough.
Again, the idea is great, but the game hasn't been developed enough to be satisfying. I wish the developers would have spent more time working out bugs and making sure the characters can respond realistically to a much wider range of comments. I hope to see much better games from these guys in the future!
