The first of the Beeb’s free Doctor Who adventure games, designed to run along the series, was only released the week before last.
City of the Daleks has been very popular, too, racking up 524,000 downloads in its first 12 days of release.
We’ve had a play through, and the adventure is quite short and fairly simple, but suitable for all the family as a result. The script is pretty funny in places, as well, and overall it’s certainly a decent effort. The real actors voice the Doctor and Amy, which helps the atmosphere, too.
You won’t have long to wait for the second adventure, either, as it’s due to be unveiled next Tuesday, with a presentation being streamed live to the BBC’s Doctor Who site at 2pm.
Simon Nelson, Head of BBC Multiplatform in Vision, commented: “The project has been a real labour of love from the whole Doctor Who and multiplatform team, so we’re delighted the reaction has been so strong.”
“The response has been tremendous – with almost universal praise from Doctor Who fans. It’s clear we’ve got people playing these ‘interactive episodes’ who wouldn’t ordinarily play through a computer game – and the opportunity to actually be the Doctor is hugely appealing.”
