Summary

Atmospheric, stylish, beautiful - great adventure!

The Good

There's one scene in the game, where you stand on the ceiling of your own club and look at the town, where you are. This was one of the most beautiful, calm moments in my computer games-history. Just beautiful, as you'd be there. And then, the story of GF is so weird, the characters so cute, the settings detailled and the music perfect - love it or leave it! :)

The Bad

Some puzzles are a bit too difficult - you has to do stuff, you wouldn't do - and you'll find out, what to do, by pure trial & error... Then, the controls are a bit odd from time to time.

The Bottom Line

Classical point&click adventure + film noir + cuba + casablanca + surrealism + black humor + love = a wonderful, intelligent game!

But be careful - one couldn't like it, because of: film noir + cuba + casablanca + surrealism + black humor + love ;)
