    For those who've never played the original, Bad Mojo Redux is a must-have. Load it up and see what all the shouting was about. For those who've played the Win3.1 version, Bad Mojo Redux is what the game should have looked like and, when coupled with the companion DVD, is the deal of the year.
  2. Just Adventure

    Undoubtedly one of the "must play" adventure games. There is simply no other game quite like it. The 2004 release is not a new game and not even a remake, however the significantly improved technical quality and wealth of additional material, combined with an attractive price, will make the new Bad Mojo appealing even to existing owners of the 1996 version.
  3. Adventure Gamers

    Revives a true classic, and optimizes it for performance. An absolute must-play for any adventure fan with even a passing tolerance of insects. If you can't beat 'em... join 'em!

    While modern games are known for their slick graphics and elaborate animated sequences, Mojo proves that clever ideas and solid gameplay can trump high-tech tricks.
  5. Quandary

    The documentary is a wonderful adjunct to the game, insightful and witty, well put together and with some original footage including the audition of the lead actor and a 1996 spot on Good Morning America (check out the price of the game back then.
  6. Gamers Europe

    There are a few bugs (of the game engine kind) and it’s far from perfect (it’s very short and slightly repetitive), but to experience something completely different that hasn’t been tried before or since is always worth the asking price.

    Truly repellent content. [Sept 2007, p.75]

    I can't believe this classic is back. Loved it the first time and it still holds up. The DVD extras include a "making of" documentary I can't believe this classic is back.

    It's clever, but the puzzles are too easily solved (and solutions are telegraphed), and the game ends too quickly. Disappointing on both It's clever, but the puzzles are too easily solved (and solutions are telegraphed), and the game ends too quickly. Disappointing on both counts. It often looks nice, however, and has a quirky sense of humour. Bad acting is made good by its extreme hamminess.… Expand

Also it's really short, hardly worth buying again.… Expand
