An Objective Review of "Get The Glass"

This review is not a requirement and is purely done of my own free will.

http://www.blogger.com/www.gettheglass.com provides you with the game, free of charge. Who do we have to thank? http://www.goodbysilverstein.com/ the company responsible for possibly the biggest and most recognised marketing campaigns in the history of…well, campaigns.

Got Milk?

Yes I do.

So, what is it? A Game or a Marketing tool? The answer is simple, both. And a whole lot more.

The initial load time is actually quite reasonable for a low bandwidth connection when you take into consideration the fantastic fluid movement of the animation. The story is light hearted with plenty of small jokes to keep you giggling like the schoolgirl. Without going into too many details, you and your family are on the run and if you get caught you will be sent to Milkatraz. Roll the die to continue, the rolling of the die is a very nice touch, there is no simple “Click here” mechanism. It is a click and hold scenario where there is an accurate “Cube” rolling about, and it reacts to the limits of the screen and the ferocity of the thrower.

There are three kinds squares you can land on “Fortune” which usually results in moving forward one or more spaces, “Misfortune” which as you may have guessed means you have to move back, or if the cops are close behind you it is known as the “Well, now you’re boned” card. Lastly there comes “Mastermind” in which you are asked a question, usually multiple choice or true or false, but occasionally you’ll have to manually type the answer. This is possibly the best in-game feature, some of the questions are actually quite difficult and because of the time limit you can’t exactly google an answer in time. That’s just the main aspects of the game, there are still many mini-games to complete along the way to escape from milkatraz and the police. For instance, the incredibly annoying and frustrating “Put flowers in her hair” game.

Pictured above: The angriest I've ever been.

Some of the best parts of the site are not included in the game, at the very beginning of you click on “Case files” there are literally pages of terrible jokes and bad puns to gorge yourself on.
