Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A little gem
Review: I was skeptical when I heard about this game. An adventure game set in Capri? But this little gem has more than exceeded my expectations. Challenging, mind-stimulating puzzles set in a beautiful scenery... this game is not for people who can't deal with a challenge. The game play is fine but it has some flaws. Too much walking. But overall it's a breath of fresh air compared to other games!
Overall rate: 4/5

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great game
Review: I'm not quite sure how well I can do an objective review. It's hard to convince anyone about getting a game. But this game really deserves my appreciation. The graphics are really breath taking and it will not disappoint you. The music is nicely done, fulfills its function well and as a background for the game sceneries is good. Dialogues are in English with subtitles or in Italian with English subtitles. I liked the second option better. This game has a great ambience sound which allows you to soak through the atmosphere of the game. You won't be just an observer, but become the part of it. I highly recommend the island's tour option. It's very useful if you plan to visit Capri in the future. I've read great reviews about this game (Game Chronicles, Just Adventure etc...). Review is subjective thing but I agree with those. This game creates a new standard upon many games will be judged.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great weekend in Capri!
Review: I've been playing Capri for just about 3 weeks now and I have to say that I haven't enjoyed a game this much in years. It's a great combination of exploration and puzzle solving; Capri is not spoon-feeding you. This game is not for people who can't deal with a challenge. The game play is fluid and captivating. The controls are very simple and intuitive. Beautiful music, rich sound effects for environmental stuff. I'd recommend this game to anyone who's interested in taking a step outside the norm for a video game.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Pretty Pictures but...
Review: If your looking for a point and click game with pretty pictures, this game would be for you. I was drawn to this game because the reviewers compared it to myst. Myst is so much better, a real game while this is like a slideshow with a few puzzles.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible!
Review: Im a college student, and have played many mystery games. This one IS life life *the only positive side of it*, but its VERY hard to follow along- and bout half is not in english!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute game
Review: It's a really cute game with a compelling story. I just didn't get into as much as others, but it's more a personal preference.
It actually brings new things to the genre. Although not quite as good as new releases such as Black Mirror, it comes in a close second. This game includes atmospheric soundtrack. Far better music than most computer games usually have.
If you are into adventure games, buy this game!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It is really this bad.
Review: Okay, I never do this, but I had to because this game is just that bad. The ONLY reason I gave it two stars is because at least the pictures are good, graphically. But that's it. I didn't even continue to play this game because it was just too awful. It's great if you don't like 3-D game play, but for those of us who like true adventure games, like Myst, Syberia and the like, are just going to be bored senseless. Anyway, if you want a "true" adventure game, I don't think this is what you are looking for.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Nope, no good at all.
Review: The whole game (which truly is a series of photographs) depends on your being able to read the map. And it is illegible. I really tried, having read all these glowing reviews.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: recommended!!
Review: There are many things that made this game special to me: pictures of a real place, immersive atmosphere and sounds, original story. You decide as a tourist to have a vacation in Capri. On the way to your hotel, the screen swirls, almost all the people disappear, and you find out that your hotel is closed. Now the locals recognise you as a local resident. They request you to run errands for them and tell you about various features of the island and its history. This premise for a game may seem boring until you learn that you ended up in a different dimension and you must go back to your world before it's too late. At this point the game becomes much more interesting. There are plenty of puzzles to solve, you find a lot of strange machinery. The conclusion of the game is great as all of the pieces fell into place. This is a first-person perspective game and each scene is a color digitized photograph of the real Capri. Overall this game has some flaws but it's a step in the right direction for more adventure games to come. I would recommend to anyone that has ever liked either an adventure game or Capri. I find this game very valuable for its educational value.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Didn't really like it
Review: This game is all about the scenery. The photos are beautiful but all you seem to do is walk, walk, walk. I should have known that I was doomed to disappointment when I saw the simplistic graphics on the opening screen. If you want to take a tour and learn all about Capri then by all means, buy the software. If you want an adventure game look elsewhere.
