The user interface for this game is too difficult to navigate for me. I got through a few screens and gave up. I completed the first edition of "The Longest Journey" and enjoyed it very much. That game could be played with a mouse. This new one requires navigation with the keyboard. Having said that, if I was able to play it, it appears to be a beautiful, rich game and I regret missing the experience.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
The game is a great adventure puzzle game but I felt it did not have the depth or excitement of the original game "The Longest Journey". I believe too much time was spent on graphics and not enough on the quality of the story.

Rating:

- A true Adventure game
Okay, I love it. It has great graphics, an imaginative story, and fun but not impossible puzzles. It is like reading a novel (in that I was totally immersed in the world) but with something extra. I think this is a great follow-up to Longest Journey and offers a little more interesting than just a shooter.

Rating:

- One of the best
I can barely fight anything. I was very afraid this would be a nightmare for me. But I was able to do it...and I loved all the places that I went and things that I saw. This was one of the best adventure games for a non brilliant adventure game enthusiast.

If you are around 50 years old, and no good at fighting, but want a good adventure game where you are not constantly figuring out nonsensical puzzles...I hope you love this as much as I did.

This was the best of the year for me.

Rating:

- Shameless attempt to get you to buy a sequel
Good points: Beautiful graphics, immersive sound, likeable main character, the (unrealized) potential for a good story

Unfortunately the rest is all bad.

The PC interface, which is clumsy and requires two hands at all times, will make you seasick or frustrated.

Multiple MANDATORY (and boring) combat scenes break up the game and add absolutly NOTHING to the plot.

Many, many very LONG cutscenes require you to sit and watch the characters have conversations. Too bad if the dog has to go out at that moment! Hope you have a saved game or you won't know what's going on after that! Oh, you did have a saved game? Well, guess what, maybe you can space-bar your way through the parts you already saw, or maybe not, just depends I guess on whether the designers cared enough to include that particular feature at that particular moment.

Jarring profanity at several points, which also adds absolutely nothing to the game. I guess they just really wanted that "Mature" rating.

Raunchy humor in some spots, which, again, adds nothing to the game. Apparently they consulted 5th grade boys on what might be a funny pun.

Very few puzzles of any sort. Most "puzzles" are merely timed action sequences requiring you to guess the right direction to run before something eats you or zaps you or squashes you or whatever. The (very) few actual puzzles are primarily shuttling: Get the guy a drink, oops go to the market to get the ingredients, oops back to the tavern, oops back to the market, oops now to the other side of town, oops back to the market, oops back to the tavern, etc. etc. By the time you finally "solve" the thing you won't care anymore.

You can die. And you will. Repeatedly.

Frequently, you can't spend time exploring the environment. Or you'll die. Again.

The ending is a complete and total disappointment. Absolutely NOTHING in the entire plot is resolved. Apparently all the heroine's tribulations amounted to nothing -- or maybe not -- the main characters all die -- or maybe not -- the bad guys win -- or maybe not. You'll be left wondering why you just spent 20 hours of your life tolerating this monstrosity since there was apparently no point.

And the final insult: In order to see the last scene of the game you MUST sit through ALL of the CREDITS first!! Unbelievable. The designers should quite literally be ashamed of themselves.

I can't imagine why this won game of the year other than beauty of graphics or sheer length.

Bottom line:
If you want an Action or RPG game look elsewhere.
If you want an Adventure game, look elsewhere.
If you want an interactive story with a well-thought-out plot that ends with a satisfying conclusion, look elsewhere.
If you want to sit and watch a long movie with periodic frantic button mashing which ultimately "ends" in a shameless insistence that you buy a yet-unreleased (and maybe never to be created) sequel to have a clue what's going on, this is your game.

Instead, I'd recommend:
Syberia & Syberia 2 (buy them at the same time -- they're short)
The Longest Journey (the original)
Myst: Riven

Happy gaming!
