Hi Nicol, I don't know how to say this, and not sound like I am putting you down. So as I say this don't take it that way ok? Generally speaking most gamers are able to know the difference between an arcade game and a FPS style of game. First person games tend to put you, the player, in the roll of the games hero, and you can move in all directions in the game world. Arcade games are like Troopenum, Aliens in the Outback, Montezuma's Revenge, etc. The only difference between a game like Montezuma's Revenge and say Alien's In the Outback is Montezuma's style is side-scroller and Aliens In the Outback is a virtical-scroller, but both are still in the arcade genre. However, Sarah is very typical of a First Person Shooter. Some of the best FPS games out there like Tomb Raider have puzzles you need to solve in addition to action and treasure hunting. Even the Star Wars FPS games have puzzles you need to solve like which buttons need to be pressed in the right order, which switch to flip to open a door or get killed, and so on. In terms of FPS games Sarah is a good one. I realise while some of the more complex puzzles were not in the demo you should have had some idea of the kind of game it was by the demo. For example what did you need to get into the staff room, what password opens the kitchen, etc. All of these are puzzles that Sarah must solve to advance. I really like Sarah, and before to long I do want to buy it. I am just waiting for my cash to restock itself after buying several expensive upgrades for my laptop wich were necessary for my business.
