Summary

One of the best adventure games ever made.

The Good

The Search for Cetus is one of my favorite games, adventure or otherwise. It is a long, satisfying and beautiful game, a masterpiece of good writing, excellent artwork and amazing composition.

First of all, the game itself is one of the best adventure games I ever played. Although it's ecology-oriented, it makes an excellent play either way. Cleverly desgined gameplay and marvellous storyline make this one a true classic. The characters are well-developed and unique, and the way the game develops is simply a must-learn for every game designer. The graphics are simply spectacular - beautifully drawn images of under the sea flaura and fauna, amazing landscapes and everything is in lighted, shaded and living 256 colour graphics, one of the best in any adventure game. The music is what makes this game the amazing game it is: an amazing piece which sounds incredible on any sound device there is (and especially on a Yamaha XG synth), music which I listen to to this day.

The Bad

Nothing - it's one of the best adventure games I ever played!

The Bottom Line

An amazing, incredible game you just can't miss. Truly spectacular.
