Great idea, horrible HORRIBLE execution

The Good
The concept is great. The amount of time and effort put into creating it are noteworthy. The background story is VERY interesting and engaging.

The Bad
EA's tech support is shit. The game is way way way too easy. Besides those things, there are times when standby (mentioned earlier by JPaterson) seems to be there simply to piss you off and make the game last longer. I just began episode two and one day's worth of "gaming" consisted of me receiving an email, visiting one web site and watching a video. There were NO puzzles, no interaction, squat. I'm very disappointed in this game thus far.

The Bottom Line
If you don't have a lot of time, then get it. But for those of you with a half hour a day, you'll blow through this game in no time. That is, unless you're one of those people who thought Myst was "so hard" and spent 40 hours on. Then you might find it interesting. But honestly, the game is a great idea but the puzzles and whatnot are so easy a five year old could practically figure them out.
