Anyone else got this game?

I heard about it months ago, it was out in japan and they was on about will it or won't it be out in uk.

Next thing i know, it's out in uk and called SOS: final escape.
So because of the great GAME 10 day return policy, i got it, and it's GREAT!!!!

I can't find ANY reviews ANYWHERE on the net, but i'd recommend it.
It plays kind of Res evil style but there's no zombies to kill, and your trapped on an island after an earthquake. rescueing people and trying to find a way out, of the ever changing city.

There's multiply pathways aswell, you play a different game depending on what choices you make, so it's got some reply value aswel.

good game, i'm just wondering about the size of the game, hopin it's not over to quickly cos it's good.

Damn, better replay it then once I've finished and remember to pick them up....doh!

I wasted quite a bit of life trying to get to one, I think it's the first main building after you've lost Karen, now that was annoying, especially as I thought the green arrow was something worthwhile collecting.

Help!!

oasismark, I'm stuck :(

I'm at Park Avenue & Main, there with Karen and we're on our way to her house, there's a bus with the doorway blocked by fire. I have looked everywhere I can think/see and can't find anything to put the fire out.

Hmm...a hint would be gratefully received, only a hint mind not a full blown explanation ;)

Hmm...I guessed it would be something like that. How do you activate the dial if all he says is "There's no way to turn the dial if I don't know the number"?

You can only read what you've picked up.
