Runaway: A Twist of Fate is a solid port of the original point-and-click adventure game for the PC. Levels and cut-scenes are well presented in a cel-shaded style, and the attention to detail is nicely preserved (for the most part) despite the DS’ limited screen real estate. Touch controls are intuitive and make solving puzzles (which are mostly well designed) smooth. The plot takes a little while to get going (especially if you’re new to the series), but there’s a good dose of humour to keep you going. A Twist of Fate might not be able to stand up to the kings of the genre, but if you’re an adventure game fan you could do worse than to take a look.
