Summary: I hate to say it, but...
Review: I very much enjoyed GK2, so I was surprised at the letdown of GK3. I was looking forward to it so much that I bought it when it was released versus after the price goes down (I'm a poor grad student). The game was slow, there was little "adventure," the characters movements were stiff (Gabriel walks like he has a pole up his butt), the puzzles were obscure, and the graphics weren't nearly as great as they were touted to be. But perhaps the most annoying thing about GK3 was Tim Curry's rendition of a Southern drawl. Besides the grating voice, many of the things he said were just stupidly insulting. If a GK4 comes out, I'll be waiting for it to be in the sale bin, if I buy it at all.

Summary: A long time fan very satisfied...
Review: I've been a fan of the Gabriel Knight series ever since the first game came out several years ago. Like it's two predecessors, this game is full of interesting characters (Mosely especially!) and lots to research and explore before the stunning conclusion. I'm not religious, but I was moved by the ending and the whole "Holy Grail" premise Jane Jensen put forth in the story. I'm also looking forward to replaying the game, because I finished it 100 points shy of the total. (Most of the time I get a perfect score in adventure games!) I certainly hope Jane Jensen has the means and desire to create a fourth GK adventure!

Summary: Best Adventure Game of the Year
Review: I've been playing this game for over several weeks now and have stopped because I don't want it to end yet. The graphics are excellent if you have a good enough computer system (Pentium II 300 or higher) and a good Direct 3D graphics card. (I'm using the TNT2). You can explore and examine almost anything within the game world. The story is engrossing, as one would expect considering Jane Jensen created it. If you like adventure games, you owe it to yourself to get this game. You'll enjoy it.

Summary: Best RPG game I've ever played
Review: Unlike many of the other customers, GK3 was the first game in the series that I've played. I could not stop playing the game. Its has been the first game in a long time that has truly struck my interest. In fact, I love GK3 so much that the very next day I went online and purchase the GK2. I have recently finished thaat and is currently waiting for GK1!. To the author, Jane Jensen, I have to tell you that the GK series is truly remarkable. Each game hs a way that makes you caught up in the story so much, that you can not wait until the next surprised. I hope that you will continue with the GK series and I can not wait until GK4

Summary: Excellent
Review: I have been a fan of GK since the very first one. I was particularly interested in this one because of the link with Holy Blood, Holy Grail and with Foucault's Pendulum. I am most impressed with the camera panning, making it much easier to see where you are. I might have been less enthused if I didn't have a background in Romance languages.

Summary: GK3: Highly Disappointing
Review: While I found the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau very interesting, if I'd had any idea what the rest of the game was going to be like, I would have just read a book on the subject. To try and phrase it without any real spoilers.. anybody who prefers Grace to Gabriel, or is interested in the building romantic tension between Gabriel and Grace, content yourself with the first two games--which I felt surpassed this one in almost every other area, as well. Frankly, if I still had my receipt, I'd write Sierra and ask them to give my money back.

Summary: A different opinion
Review: I love adventure computer games, but I had a very different reaction to this one than the other reviewers. First of all, there wasn't much "adventure" to this adventure - I thought the story was pretty slow. But most importantly, this game had the most obscure (and in my opinion) ridiculous puzzles I have encountered in an adventure game. Also, I found the hero both annoying and unlikable. Among other things, he's supposed to be from New Orleans, and his accent is so bad that I found it distracting. In the game's initial movie, I could swear the character is British, but during the game sequences his accent is "Southern on steriods." Suffice it to say this is the first adventure game I have ever purchased that I had no interest in finishing. Normally, I can't be dragged away from them. Go figure.

Summary: Anticipation turns to disappointment...
Review: I couldn't wait for this game to come out. Then, as I began to play, I found myself really annoyed by the extreme slowness of the gameplay -- especially when Gabriel has to, for instance, walk back to his motorcycle -- and by the absolute poisonousness of his character as portrayed in this game. When did Gabriel get to be such a lunk? I was overjoyed whenever I got to a Grace section so that I didn't have to listen to Gabriel's obnoxious banter any longer. The game is only marginally entertaining, and the graphics are downright ugly.

Summary: GK3, a great game, but not the equal of 1 or 2
Review: I really wanted to love this game the way I loved the first and second in the series, but...in the end, I just don't. It's a great mystery marred by a lack of truly interesting characters (pretty much only Gabe, Grace, and Mose are interesting) and by a rotten pacing. The tension never really starts to build until it's almost too late, and even then it's not up to the kind of delicious tension and suspense the first two games displayed. Is it a good game? Oh yes. The gameplay is marvellous, it's so neat to explore a fully 3D world in an adventure game and to be able to view things from any given angle, but...it's not the equal of the first two in story, pacing, suspense, or character. The mystery is very well done, but the story around it could've been a lot better. STill worth playing if you're a fan!

Summary: GK3
Review: I thought the sotry of the game was very good. As with the other GK games, there's a lot of history to wade through, however I found it very fun. The only thing I didn't like was the graphics. I think they could have spent more time on that. The movies in between some of the chapters were the same polygonic 3D images from the game instead of realistic movies. There is also a lot of religion in the game (many different types), but it's not telling you what's right or wrong. It's worth the money, buy the 3D is sometimes annoying.
