Valenice later finds herself tranded alone in a desert in the Land Beyond Dreams. Valanice plunges in after her, but it is too late the cannot find her beloved daughter. Whilst Valanice continues to nag her daughter, Rosella is lured nto a magical pool by a flying seahorse, leaving only her golden lair comb behind. understandably so wants to have fun and is not too enamoured of this "marrying" idea, particularly lince the suitor lined up for her is Prince Frogmorton, who's hobby s conjugating Latin verbs. So I'll save you the bother - Queen Valanice (who King's Quest aficionados will recognise from the previous incarnations) berates her daughter Princess Rosella (who's more wholesome than a Hovis cracker) for not having tied the knot at the decrepit age of 20. In fact, you'll be so intent on watching the animation that you'll have to watch it several times before you discover the plot. On launching the CD (KQ VII will only be available in true multimedia) you are treated to a beautifully animated cartoon which outlines the game's scenario in gobsmacking form. Thankfully for us - you because otherwise there would be no KQVII, and me because I wouldn't be earning any dosh writing this review - after a swift half and a packet of pork scratchings she decided to put pen to paper and began to write what I would say is possibly one of the most impressive adventures I've ever had the good fortune to play! Roberta Williams, creator of the famous King's Quest adventures, had one major problem to overcome when embarking on the design of the seventh instalment in the series - how to make it bigger and better than KQ VII keep it fresh and innovative, yet retain the King's Quest adventure style? At this stage she did what every normal human being would do and decided to go down the pub. KQ VII not only betters its predecessor KQ VII, it puts on its steel toe-capped Doc Marten boots and kicks the stuffing out of it! Get me down the pub NOW!
Thankfully, the King's Quest games are nothing like the Rocky movies, since each subsequent adventure in the saga is both an improvement and diversion on the game before. Same plot, same graphics, same gameplay, with a slightly different scenario - all designed to rob you of another 50 quid. King's Quest VII - The Princeless Bride (KQ VII). If the King's Quest series was anything like the Rocky movies, you'd be forgiven for dismissing this, the latest offering.
