Courtroom drama and point-and-click gaming come together nicely in
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. Old-school adventure games have seriously fallen out of fashion and it's high time they made a comeback. Nothing beats presenting a little treasure hunt, exploration, and lots of dialogue to get your gaming juices flowing. Piecing together clues from the items you gather and talking to characters you meet throughout Birdman's world is what you'll need to do in order to solve these five cases.
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law puts Harvey into some difficult situations, including escaping from jail, defending several people accused of stealing his stuff, and watching his wife get a series of backrubs from other guys. It's easy to sell Harvey short, but do so at your peril because he always solves the case.
This time around you'll help solve the cases, usually in the same order or operations. After a brief introduction to the case, you'll have the chance to explore your surroundings and look for clues. At times, you'll uncover new characters with which you can interact, and sometimes they'll introduce you to new locations. Eventually and in a completely random fashion, Harvey will end up in the courtroom. Madcap hilarity ensues and eventually the case is solved. You'll have the chance in court to listen to testimony, examine and sometimes cross-examine witnesses. After you hear a little narrative from the character that happens to be on the stand, you'll be able to select various parts of that narrative. Your goal is to pressure them by asking more questions if you suspect any part of their story is false, or present something in your collection of evidence that relates to something they said. It is harder than it sounds, and especially because the "facts" of each case are almost always random. As long as you pay attention and have enough risk tolerance to make some educated guesses, you'll be fine.
