Product Description
Jack Keane is a funny, action-packed Point ‘n’ Click adventure game containing many allusions and parodies of famous films and videogames, along with being crafted in the finest traditions of the PC adventure genre.
Colonial England. Under a certain amount of… duress… Jack takes on a job which will not only cause him a great deal of trouble, but also bring to light the answer to a mystery out of his distant past. A lack of money leads Jack to accept a charter to take a British secret agent to mysterious “Tooth Island”. When Jack’s ship shatters on the mysterious island’s cliffs on arrival and the secret agent quickly becomes a meal for a monster in the jungle, Jack is soon left to cope with the situation on his own.
“Tooth Island” is ruled by the strange Doctor T, who is cultivating man-eating plants and has his own dastardly plans for the British Empire. And why does he seem to know Jack, who can’t remember ever having been on Tooth Island? What are Doctor T's plans? And what does he know about Jack’s past?
And then there’s the young and naive Amanda, who is filled by an almost fanatical drive to prove her worth. In the beginning the young lady is employed by Doctor T, and part of her task is to track Jack down and take him prisoner. It doesn’t take long before she begins to wonder if she is really on the right side, or if she shouldn’t join her opponent, the charming Captain Jack, instead.
A hair-raising hunt across the length and breadth of the dangerous island finally airs the mystery surrounding Jack’s past and leads to a spectacular showdown with a dark and deadly enemy and his nefarious henchmen.

Highly Overated
 Reviewed by Dillan from Auckland, NZ on May 15th, 2008
Average graphics (compared to todays games) the screen shots to the side only capture the 'bright' scenes, otherwise everything is most of the time dull. Non of the dialog is funny or interesting just very boring conversations that has unnecessary talk that finally ends up giving you a clue at the end. The puzzles give you the feeling that they couldn't come up with anything better, there is the occasional puzzle that is kinda interesting but its mostly trial and error going through your inventory to see what works. I didn't finish the game, partially because of the storyline but also some other reasons non related to the game. In the end if your looking for a long RPG/adventure with a great storyline I suggest you look elsewhere, in my opinion its definitely not worth the money your paying for it.
Fun but forgettable.
Reviewed by Albert from Auckland, NZ on May 12th, 2008
Great graphics and sound, story is kinda lame. None of the dialogue is funny, unless you're 10 years old maybe. Otherwise its good for some quick fun albeit not a long epic storyline. Not very difficult either, about the same as Full Throttle. It'll be over before you know it, but by then you're sick of it :D.
