The game follows the long tradition of two-dimensional adventure games like the first two installments of the Broken Sword series. It enjoyed immense popularity in countries like Germany and France, and ultimately sold 600,000 units in Europe alone. The original Spanish version of the game was the first to become available in Spain on July 6, 2001, with other localizations waiting up to two years for their publication, including the German version in Fall 2002 and the rest during 2003. The original publisher was Dinamic Multimedia and it was their last distributed title before their closure. After that, the distributor has been FX Interactive. Runaway has been released on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. A sequel, The Dream of the Turtle, was released in November 2006 in France and Germany and was released in March 2007 in the United Kingdom, USA and Spain. A third game, A Twist of Fate, was released on November 26, 2009.[1] Gameplay{{expand section|date=July 2018}}Story{{expand section|date=July 2018}}Brian Basco sets off from New York City to California, but plans to make a quick stop on his way there to pick up a book at a bookstore. On the way there, he just avoids running over a fleeing girl who then blacks out. Brian takes her to the hospital and finds out that her name is Gina Timmins and that she witnessed a Mafia murder. He saves her from the killers, but now he also has to run away. CharactersBrian Basco, the only player-controlled character, is a student of Physics who just got accepted to the University of California, Berkeley. He is portrayed as a shy, almost nerdy, young man at first. Gina Timmins is the girl Brian almost ran over with his car and immediately fell in love with. She works as a dancer in a New York City nightclub, where she is handed a mysterious crucifix and shortly thereafter witnesses a murder. Gustav and Feodor are two hitmen working for the Mafia. Gustav, who wears an eyepatch, is seen as the head of the team, while Feodor is prone to rash acts of brutality. They are sent after Gina at first and Brian as well later on... DevelopmentAccording to the developer, the game was developed using a mixture of external and internal produced tools to achieve the combined 2D and 3D graphical look of the game.[2] Internally, the game engine utilised three dimensions to model the characters and objects,[3] but then a special filter was used to render them two-dimensionally to the screen. This gives the effect of making it look like a traditional cartoon-like 2D adventure, while enabling real-time lighting and shading effects, camera changes, and panoramic shots.[4] The original soundtrack[5] for Runaway: A Road Adventure contains all four songs from game, the CD is included in the special collectors' edition. All the songs are composed by David García Morales and performed and composed by Vera Domínguez (His Haircut).[6] ReceptionCritical reception{{Video game reviews| MC = (PC) 74/100[7] (iOS) 64/100[8] | AdvGamers = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[9] | CGW = {{Rating|2|5}}[10] | GI = 7.25/10[11] | GSpot = 7.5/10[12] | GSpy = {{Rating|3|5}}[13] | GameZone = 9/10[14] | PCGUS = 51%[15] }} The game received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8] SalesRunaway was a commercial hit,[18][19] with sales above 400,000 units in Europe alone by early January 2004, before its release in the United Kingdom. At the time, publisher Crimson Cow told MCV that this success "prov[ed] that the adventure genre is not just a living but also a thriving genre".[16] The game's initial release by Dinamic Multimedia sold 8,980 units in Spain.[17] According to designer Rafael Latiegui, the game sold best in France and Germany, and in Spain achieved sales of "100,000 units in just one weekend as part of a newspaper campaign." He noted in February 2004 that the game "hasn't done badly at all" in the United States,[18] where its lifetime sales at brick-and-mortar retailers totaled 12,928 units by the end of that month.[19][20]Chris Kellner of German publisher DTP Entertainment declared Runaway "a huge success" in Germany.[21] By late 2003, it had surpassed the sales of any other adventure localized by DTP;[22] as of March 2003, it had spent six months on Germany's computer game sales charts.[23] According to the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce's Hamburger Wirtschaft magazine, Runaway it ultimately sold 60,000 units in Germany and helped to revive the country's adventure game industry.[24] It remained DTP's best-selling adventure release by September 2004.[25] Runaway reached roughly 500,000 global sales by March 2004,[26] and GamesRadar+ reported in May 2006 that the title had totaled 600,000 sales in Europe alone.[27] By April 2009, the game and its sequel, The Dream of the Turtle, together had sold one million copies. Of these sales, France accounted for 250,000 units.[28]{{clear}}References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://uk.gamesplanet.com/game/runaway-3-a-twist-of-fate-steam-key--2106-1 |title=Runaway 3: A twist of Fate |website=GamesPlanet |publisher=Metaboli |accessdate=October 31, 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web |author1=Seale, Julian |author2=Jong, Philip |date=February 20, 2008 |url=http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/interviews/305/ |title=Rafael Latiegui, Pendulo Studios |website=Adventure Classic Gaming |accessdate=March 6, 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513082719/http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/interviews/305/ |archivedate=May 13, 2008 |deadurl=no}} 3. ^{{cite web |last=Cordes |first=Agustin |date=January 8, 2003 |url=https://www.justadventure.com/2003/01/08/runaway-a-road-adventure-review-22/ |title=Runaway: A Road Adventure – Review 2 |website=Just Adventure |accessdate=October 31, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pendulostudios.com/runaway/eng_informacion.htm |title=Runaway: Information |website=Pendulo Studios |accessdate=March 12, 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070211230258/http://www.pendulostudios.com/runaway/eng_informacion.htm |archivedate=February 11, 2007}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.game-ost.com/info.php?id=1442 |title=Runaway: A Road Adventure — Original Soundtrack |website=Game-OST |accessdate=October 31, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pendulostudios.com/runaway/eng_noticias.htm |title=Runaway: News |website=Pendulo Studios |accessdate=December 13, 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081222071143/http://www.pendulostudios.com/runaway/eng_noticias.htm |archivedate=December 22, 2008}} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/runaway-a-road-adventure |title=Runaway: A Road Adventure for PC Reviews |website=Metacritic |publisher=CBS Interactive |accessdate=November 1, 2018}} 8. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/game/ios/runaway-a-road-adventure |title=Runaway: A Road Adventure for iPhone/iPad Reviews |website=Metacritic |publisher=CBS Interactive |accessdate=November 1, 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web |author=Dickens, Evan |date=August 27, 2003 |url=https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/17618 |title=Runaway [A Road Adventure] Review |website=Adventure Gamers |accessdate=November 1, 2018}} 10. ^{{cite magazine |author=Jongewaard, Dana |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/issues/cgw_233.pdf |title=Runaway: A Road Adventure |magazine=Computer Gaming World |publisher=Ziff Davis |issue=233 |date=December 2003 |page=129 |accessdate=November 1, 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040617205703/http://www.computergaming.com/article2/0,2053,1494267,00.asp |archivedate=June 17, 2004 |deadurl=no}} 11. ^{{cite magazine |author=Mason, Lisa |url=http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/BD4AC0FC-00B1-4FE4-A802-7C6580FD0D5C.htm |title=Runaway: A Road Adventure |magazine=Game Informer |publisher=GameStop |issue=127 |date=November 2003 |page=175 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051118163914/http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/BD4AC0FC-00B1-4FE4-A802-7C6580FD0D5C.htm |archivedate=November 18, 2005}} 12. ^{{cite web |author=Shoemaker, Brad |date=August 19, 2003 |url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/runaway-a-road-adventure-review/1900-6073322/ |title=Runaway: A Road Adventure Review |website=GameSpot |publisher=CBS Interactive |accessdate=November 1, 2018}} 13. ^{{cite web |author=Harker, Carla |date=September 11, 2003 |url=http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/runaway-a-road-to-adventure/6147p1.html |title=GameSpy: Runaway -
