Playing History 2 - Slave Trade reviews

"Playing History 2-Slave Trade" is a historical learning adventure for Children. The 18th century. In mostly terrible Conditions, Slaves were shipped from Africa to the US. They were scalddened on the Cotton Plantations, and they had to hope for the goodwill of their Owners and could be happy if they did not have to fear for Life and Limb all the Time. Mechanically, the Game is a simple Point-and-click adventure. We need to talk to People, collect, combine and use items. But everything remains quite simple and rudimentary. Graphically, everything is child-friendly comichaft, though not really very designed. The People look more like simple Dolls and also have hardly any Facial expressions. The (English) voiceover was reasonably successful. The Speakers are at least making a sincere effort to achieve an acceptable Outcome. Through the Game, a Mouse takes us Through that keeps giving us tips and also handing us a special Gimmick: Glasses that, when we wear them, allow us to click on things that we Don't think fit into the Time of the 18th century. This little Mini-game, however, has no Effect on the rather short, linear history. Making a Learning Game on this Subject may in itself be commendable, but that one has to deal sensitively and intelligently with the Question of how to deal with the subject of the matter alone demands the suffering that the Victims had to endure. The Developers have managed to jettison any sensitivity, ignore basic sense Of Style and lie to any grease With full Broadside. The legendary slave tiris, in which we are supposed to place slaves in a Tetris Mini-game as accurately as possible in a Ship's hull, is only the Tip of The Flavorlessness. After massive Criticism, the Developers have only managed to simply remove the corresponding Game Passages without replacement, making the Game not only more incoherent, but also even shorter. That's pretty much the cheapest and most embarrassing Way to respond to Criticism. But also otherwise, the Play pretty much Misses any sensitivity and this is mainly due to The fact that the Topic gets into a Pull of Incongruous, through setting, inaccurate History description and silly Gameplay, from which it can no longer get out. I am certainly not an Advocate of excessive Political Correctness, on the Contrary, intelligent Border Crossings in particular Can trigger a significant Progress In discourse on difficult issues. What is on offer here, however, is simply stupid and, all in all, nothing but embarrassing. Unfortunately, the Title also fails completely as a Learning Software. As an Adventure, it is above all uninspired and striver-boring. Even and especially Children deserve Better and Smarter.
