The art work is expressive, full of life and it does wonders for the in-game atmosphere, and the music is just as good. Some of the characters are "quite the characters," so it will be pretty easy to disregard some of the downsides I've mentioned and immerse yourself in the story. Finally, I should say a thing or two about the puzzles.

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. Everything, from the game’s real-time lighting and shading effects, to the camera changes and panoramic shots helps give Runaway: A Road Adventure a unique, yet traditional feel that makes me wonder why this genre ever faded so far into the background.
