Druuna: Morbus Gravis
Druuna: Morbus Gravis, jeu d'aventure développé par Artematica et édité par Microids, est paru le 27 septembre 2001 sur PC (Microsoft Windows). Le titre utilise la protection DRM SecuROM.
Condamnée à un état végétatif éternel, la très sexy Druuna attend d'être libérée d'un monde malade, claustrophobe et délabré, peuplé d'individus frappés par un terrible virus les transformant en créatures sanguinaires. Un ordinateur symbiotique directement relié au cerveau de Druuna constitue le seul moyen de capturer et de revivre les situations l'ayant plongée dans ce sommeil froid. Le joueur doit éviter les individus sans scrupules habitant l'esprit de la jeune femme et affronter les pièges disséminés sur le chemin incertain menant à la délivrance.

« It’s basically just a big mess -- a well made big mess, but a big mess nonetheless. »
« The biggest problem is that it's a cop-out. Serpieri's brand of blatant sensuality is absent, his wildly explicit sex scenes having been replaced by momentary clips showing the lead character topless. »
« The game is plagued by poor control, an unintuitive interface, time limits, ugly graphics, grating music, and one of the worst save-game systems ever devised. »
« All breasts, no game...a game that isn't just bad, it's literally unplayable. [Apr 2002, p.103] »
« Apologies go out to all the perverts out there, you're going to be disappointed too...an adventure game that's woefully short on the adventure based on a pornographic comic book character that doesn't get pornographic. »
« There is a split-second delay from your button press to Druuna actually performing an action. So the most mundane action -- such as crouching to avoid a big piece of machinery that will take Druuna's head off -- turns out to be near impossible. »
« Artematica’s video game adaptation of Morbus Gravis is underdeveloped, unbalanced, and borderline unplayable. Only the most dedicated of Druuna fans need subject themselves to the game’s insurmountable frustrations. »

« Great atmosthere and aesthetics. Beautiful main character. Controls are junky but its playable. »
« Completely broken, unplayable garbage. It's rare that I give up on a game before completing it but I made an exception in this case... ABOUT 10 MINUTES IN! The designers of this trash deserve to eat poo forever! »
