I don't know if it's a classic - only time can tell if Runaway deserves a place alongside the timeless - but this is the one of the most balanced and enjoyable adventures of these last years.

There's no way around it: Runaway is an instant classic, and an absolute must-own for all adventure game fans.

In a day and age where storyline is always key, Runaway: A Road Adventure delivers a golden gameplay experience.

Filled with crazy characters from zany drag queens to menacing mafia men, the story line is definitely fun and entertaining.

Runaway is the best adventure game out right now, and my early nominee of the best adventure game this year.

If you are a fan of adventure games and only want to buy one game this year, I would certainly suggest Runaway: A Road Adventure.

The score reflects more the quality of the engine rather than the gameplay, but I liked the game well enough, and there is such a dearth of other adventures out there, that it’s a game worth owning if you enjoy the genre.

The art work is expressive, full of life and it does wonders for the in-game atmosphere, and the music is just as good.

Runaway is a light-hearted romp with some genuinely humorous moments. My biggest disappointment was that Gina had no real role other than to look appealing and need rescuing.

On the visual front, everything about Runaway: A Road Adventure screams style. Rather than going with pre-rendered backdrops and stiff CG animated characters, Runaway instead gives us beautifully detailed cartoon landscapes populated with very animated, and believable 2D and 3D characters.
