Darkened Skye (2002)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Shooter
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player
Story:In the action-oriented 3D role-playing game Darkened Skye, the player takes the role of the title character and embarks on a quest to collect four prisms that may help bring the light of goodness back to the world. Skye of Lynlora was just a restless shepherd when she first came across the strange item that would change her life forever. Now she has opened a portal to another place and chaos has come forth. Only Skye can set things right once again. She will face an assortment of fantasy characters and creatures in her journeys as she makes her way through 30 missions set across five different game worlds. It is notable that, like some other releases from publisher Simon and Schuster (including the Boston Animation-developed M&M's: The Lost Formulas), this game features prominent product placement in the form of Skittles brand fruit-flavored candies. Indeed, it is the mystic power of Skittles that moves Skye through more than one threatening game situation. In spite of any potential incongruities of featuring a familiar consumer item in a fantasy world, Darkened Skye strives to provide the graphical competence, engrossing story, and state-of-the-art play that gamers expect from a major 2002 release. ~ T.J.

Taste the rainbow!!!!!!! Outside of Chex Quest this is the only other branded game I remember playing. It was good enough to remember, the controls were clunky at the time and the dialog was a bit ridiculous in a good way. Similar to Armed and Dangerous. The funny thing is that Darkened sky probably has some better writing than todays games.
Highly underrated gem with awesome art style, level design, humor and horribly bad combat system. :P All in all it's the most "7/10" game I've ever played. Funny thing is that after all these years I still remember many locations and npcs met in this game but completly forgot Skittles references. Well, it was like that until 2024 when I decided to play it once again and such references are absolutely clear but I've never been into sweets anyway. :P I guess these Skittles gonna be the biggest obstacle in bringing this game to the store. Initially I got it from "Gry Komputerowe" magazine in June 2003 for just 9zł. Despite such low price game was fully dubbed and generaly had high quality polish translation (and believe me, there was a lot of text to translate!).
Fished this game out of the bargin bin at a mall Babbages. Knowing nothing about it, but liking the look and the price I picked it up. I was unaware of the Skiddles connection in the game going into it, but I gotta say it's pretty tame; just substitute any generic fantasy macguffin in other games for a skiddle, and there you go. What I liked about the whole thing is its a bit tounge-in-cheek, but never takes it to far. The humor can be subtle and there are some good lines (Skye when traveling though a dark village: "Boy, these people really need to process their grief!").
Rough around the edges, but in an era of overproduced AAA games, its nice to have something old and quirky with dubious origins like Darkened Skye, because you know something like this would never be made again.
This game. I found it in a GameStop clearance bin. I was playing for days before I realized it was a Skittles game. Though it's due to Skittles that let's you do magic. Draak the gargoyle is sarcastic about everything i like him. It is rather average for a adventure game. But it was good enough that I want to play it again.
