Summary

One of the best adventure games ever produced.

The Good

The story was wonderful, and the characters and world were well developed as well. It was truly immersive, and the music is still in my mind today (I've converted them to mp3 and still listen to it!!). Gameplay was excellent, although a little on the easy side. The graphics were interesting - in outdoor settings, the engine pre-rendered a 3d image to a static background (a la Alone in the dark) dynamically, depending on your angle. The voice acting was done fairly well for a translated game. And look for the time commando cameo!!

The Bad

Perhaps many veteran gamers would find this game a little easy. Otherwise, the only other disappointment is there was no sequel.

The Bottom Line

A wonderful adventure in the vein of Alone in the Dark, but with a family-oriented audience in mind. Still, any adventure game lover would enjoy it.
