Finally, the sequel to The Night Before Act 1-3 has arrived. I've played TNB 1, 2, and 3 all the way without cheating. Those games were excellent. This one's even better.

Although, I'm usually a guy who finds anything to criticize, I'd have to say this game is nearly flawless. Sure, the graphics could use more detailed animations, be in 3D, actually have shadows and smoke coming out of cigars

, but besides the graphics, there's little to add.

The game has excellent puzzles and all of them are perfectly logical, unlike most adventure games. What I mean by logical is that the solution tends to be obvious, but that doesn't mean that they didn't leave out wacky stuff like a helium blowfish

. Even with obvious solutions, the game still isn't too easy. It took me 2 days to finish the game(without a walkthrough). Still, 2 days is short, but it's a lot longer if I put Act 1, 2, 3, and 4 together.

If I still had TNB Acts 1-4, I'd replay this game yet again. For the first time ever, I think I found a klik game that's flawless gameplay-wise.

Overall
A wonderful game. It would be perfect if it lasted longer and had better graphics. Heck, it already beats half the COMMERCIAL adventure games that I know...and I've played quite a few. For the first time, I'm giving a game a 9 out of 10.
