Even the policy as part of everyday life, not only has a consciously formal side. People do not just go to the elections or organize the revolution. They have almost always sorry about it. And then they laugh at their (and other people at the same time) experiences. Political folklore - the flip side of any system, a free human reaction to rigid frames. However, to fully enjoy them, you live and breathe ridiculed era, remember her: the trick is that a joke a joke doing the real memories of a particular person about the seriousness of past ridicule "truths." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
By Petya and Vassily Ivanovich it has a direct relationship. Why do you think the game with their participation, on the one hand, steady demand, but on the other - a "decent gaming community" is considered good form once again to kick the "PiVICha" for the flat jokes and mediocre plot? Not least in the case of ... aged critics.
That would be what a flourish turns out. For one whose political consciousness awakened by couplets of the "Putin plan", the Soviet Union - a mythical state of the past with painted T-shirts. And there is nothing special - a generational change is inevitable, but not to be ashamed of, and in reverse. Incidentally, those without "Yandex" remember the answer to the riddle "From Lenin to Illich without a heart attack and paralysis - people are not too old, and play games.
Only someone who feels a touch of leather hammer and sickle, the jokes, "Petka" disclosed in full. Indeed, even frequent references to the Learn-slang and other trendiness served here through the prism of perception of the world, "the Soviet people." Which, for better or for worse, still remains a substantial number of Russians. Well, or at least enough to keep the show afloat.

Korotenechko so In short, if we are with you, dear reader, have agreed on the eligibility of the Red Banner of humor, it's time to talk about the game itself. And then the lecture some historical and psychological turns out, rather than paper. However, with the remaining components - graphics, puzzles - all quite usual, even boring story. All that we've seen. In Ankh (the first and second), in Simon the Sorcerer 4 or in "Faberge eggs". The same "puppet" chart, covering the cartoon-like design flaws and lack of polygons. Although the animation Anka made no better example of Simon's movements.
The same opportunity to play for different characters in turn. Anka - one of them, and her story is probably the best in the entire game. Familiar story engine class to apply what it is. "Adequate similar games likely to get stuck in the middle of history, because somewhere something was espied and nedosobirali. Mini-games - one thing, puzzles not seen.
Sparsely? That's just it, it might be, in any other case it all - minus, but not this time. Remember tubs negative, inherited from the TV series picky "international observers". And if you wash the rootless vagabond, was then and it turns out that he was not homeless, not Bezrodny, but also a "senior lecturer, with interest and some that can.

On the plot of the game should say a little more. Analysis of the roots of the local humor - it's good, but here is what form it took the fruit? What is happening gives vinaigrette. Russian-Soviet national dish, an indispensable attribute of a celebratory feast, incidentally.
It begins with an investigation Anakie, suddenly found himself involuntarily wife Chapaya. Next to it comes the heavy artillery of hints to the virtual reality of the situation, the complex relationship of ideological atmosphere of communist-consciously self-heroes-foe-games and other post-modernism Pelevin. In the title of Rome will be the site of action towards the end. And, in general, the story is not about him but about the very polupelevinskom view, which looks a former Soviet citizen to his past through the prism of new and frightening technology, entertainment, life. As already discussed, that in itself is neither good nor bad, it's a niche. However, despite all the twists and artifice, the plot does not fails, the logic of (its, post-modern) does not lose, not stalling. Pastoral scene with Ankoy good even from the standpoint of matured petkonenavistnikov.

Catch Mu-Mu flight That is why we return game "in order", put in a number of other projects of the same class. Of course, picky reader may note that at the time the samples to compare the obtained estimates are different enough to combine them into a general class impossible. But if this measure scores, which we certainly do not begin. If you do a little research reveals that not only every single edition of differently treated the listed games, but also from edition to edition of the assessment of the same games vary greatly. The reason? In many ways - in the emotional feedback: "Oh, what's cool gags", or "Ugh, what a dull sense of humor."
Guess what? Substrate in these games, in general, similar, and jokes on him sprout different. Since "Petya's" the same sense of humor, we, like, just understood.

Patriotic slogans And it's not just a question of giving a very hard man "tolerance": sometimes hard to recognize the right of existence something that you personally do not need. This is a question of professionalism - understanding the cause of "popular anger", to find in himself (in the wording on the panel) to turn against the forces of public opinion, without prejudice to look at the pariah. Yes, and forgiveness is also important. Of course, among the eight incarnations of "Petka" could easily have wormed objective sucks - with errors, inconsistencies, obvious hack. Yeah, about that can and should speak incessantly only when the bar is lowered so quite low (as is known, about the bad games, we do not write). There are drawbacks in this series (remember about the paucity of polygons). But neither the "sins of the fathers" or not a short subject of humor - not a reason to advance to ruin the game. After all, if, for all the shortcomings, she managed to survive so many sequels, does that mean that the basis of their adventures PiVIChey have something strong enough and stable?
| Doctor, I hear voices! |
Certainly worth mentioning the work of the actors. And among all the voices to emphasize the Olga Zubkov (ANCA). The first third of the game we will have in her company, and believe me, this is one of the best female voices in recent games. In second place after GlaDOS. Other actors as a whole also did not disappoint.
