What Parents Need to Know
This review of Jack Keane and the Dokktor's Island was written by Marc Saltzman
Parents need to know that this adventure game is rated Teen because it has some suggestive sexual innuendos including comments about kissing, making love, and a woman's breasts. There's also some comic mischief (knocking characters off ledges), a mission to find a bottle of rum, and one character who smokes a cigar. This is a slower paced game that focuses on puzzle-solving and character development. It is also one of those rare games that is actually funny.

What’s the Story?
In case you've never played these types of adventure games, you'll navigate your character around the environment by clicking on characters and selecting responses from a list of dialogue options. You'll also pick up items and place them in your inventory to use when applicable. For example, you'll need to get past an anaconda blocking your path on a river, and when you try to go another way, a monkey is pedaling to power an electric fence. Without giving away the solution here, you'll look for items you can use, including a giant nut, screwdriver, and wooden plank (curious now, aren't you?).
CloseIs It Any Good?
