Summary

Ridiculously gorgeous.

The Good

It was unbelievably beautiful in the artwork and the movement of the characters. On a fast computer, one will be very happy with this game. The voice acting was also excellent, and it was long enough for a busy highschooler to finish her homework fast enough daily to continue it for weeks. Those who have weird imaginations will also like Syberia.

The Bad

If all you do is gaming and you aren't very busy, then this game will be short. Also, if your PC is not top-notch or it's already loaded with other stuff, then this game will only be slow, crash every 5 minutes, and irritating. My computer just happened to get some bug that week, so it crashed every 10 minutes and the "virtual memory" message appeared every frikkin time! But I was still satisfied, and as a child who grew up with the beloved King's Quest series, I was happy to see adventure gaming still alive.

The Bottom Line

Unique. Compelling. Beautiful. Get some popcorn.
