The problem with making a pirate point-and-click adventure is that it bears such easy comparison with the granddaddy of point-and-clicks, Monkey Island. The whole time I was playing Captain Morgane, I was thinking to myself "the humour isn't as good as Monkey Island, the animation isn't as good as Monkey Island, the storyline isn't as good as Monkey Island, I wish I was playing Monkey Island." In fact the humour is non-existent and the artwork is positively shoddy (some in-game animations even look like they have been cut in favour of cheaper storyboard scenes). On the plus side, the puzzles are just right in terms of difficulty and the plot rolls along at a decent pace. I played the game for around 6 hours and felt very close to the end. On the basis of this I would have given the game 3 stars - nothing you're going to recommend to your friends, but interesting enough to keep you entertained for a few hours.Then something happened which embittered me against this game for rest of my days. It crashed, and when I reloaded it I realised the game didn't have an autosave function. I'd lost everything. The save game button was tucked away under the options menu and I hadn't even seen it. So I have dropped the game a star. It feels like a critical oversight.
