CNN.com – Find ‘Missing’ clues on Web sites, e-mail – Jul 16, 2004
This looks like an interesting twist on an idea EA had a few years ago — create a game that blurs the line between play and reality. Well, kind of.
This sounds less ambitious but perhaps more likely to succeed as it doesn’t require a monthly subscription. Also, I’m guessing that this game will allow players to move through at their own pace since a CD means everything’s already written — which didn’t seem to be the case with Majestic.
Even with its flaws, when I the guy I was living with, who was playing Majestic at the time, woke me up on September 11, 2001 with the words, “We’re under attack,” I thought he was talking about the game. If ‘Missing’ can create that kind of illusion and the *and* keep the momentum going throughout the game I can see this becoming a much larger genre.
