Summary

This game is very difficult to enjoy.

The Good

First, the graphics and sounds were very realistic, even for today. Second, It gives you a great sense of mystery exploring the island and all the ages.

The Bad

The game is *bleep*ing impossible! The puzzles are ridiculously difficult and obscure. You will randomly click around, hoping to push the secret button. Also, the story is practically non-existant and you will walk away saying "huh" if you don't read the book "Myst: The book of Atrus".

The Bottom Line

This game is ok if you are a fan of the book, but for those just wanting to sit down and play a game, you will be sorely disappointed.
