Well I can't see why you can't remove version 2 then reinstall version
1. I also suggest you submit a ticket at Draconis's help desk and see
what you get back. I understand the cost and all that, but it's a
temporary workaround until all the bugs are squashed. I guess I'm not
all that familiar with Change Reaction as I couldn't see any bugs in the
game.-

Hi,
Since I enjoy playing the original Change Reaction, I was very excited
about this new version of the game, and immediately bought it upon
reading the announcement on Draconis's Twitter feed. Actually, I first
downloaded the file from their website and installed it after first
removing version 1, and discovered, to my surprise, that there's no
playable demo! I know there's an audio demo on the site, but I couldn't
get it to play using their player, which I believe is Java-based. (I
personally don't know why developers have to use these players on their
sites. I think it's better to just link to an MP3 file so the visitor
can listen to it in their favorite player.)
Purchasing and registering the game was simple, but I noticed that the
information displayed on the screen when you're presented with the
registration dialog wasn't spoken automatically by JFW, or even a TTS
engine like it was in the first version. I had to use the JAWS cursor to
read it.
After getting into the game, I listened to most of the tutorials for the
various game types. I personally would've prefered a manual like the
previous version had, but the Learn to Play option isn't bad, though I
noticed that if you move back a page with the Left Arrow, for example,
the speech tends to read something else, or at least doesn't seem to
skip to that section right away.
Now we come to gameplay, and this is where I'm really having problems.
(I should mention that I'm playing this game using Windows XP.) So far,
I've just played, or rather tried to play, the Classic mode. Either I'm
so used to version 1's gameplay, or I'm not doing something right in
version 2, but there are times things don't seem to work propperly. In
particular, I've noticed that speech doesn't get interrupted when
quickly pressing the Left and Right arrow keys, like in version 1. There
are also times when I don't get any speech at all for awhile, or else
I'll be on a coin, but the previous one isn't read out. As well, I might
press Space when I'm on a Penny, for example, which may be the coin I
have to match, and nothing appears to happen. No laughing noise or
anything! The first time I started noticing all this behavior, I thought
my keyboard was acting up, even though I had unloaded my screen reader
completely. I've even noticed that the sound you hear when a lit bomb
explodes doesn't play half the time. I might be on a bomb, and then I
hear the scream, but no proceeding explosion.
In conclusion, Change Reaction 2 might be a good game, but so far I'm
beginning to think I should've stuck with version 1 until these bugs
were squashed.
Thanks.
Yours Sincerely,
