Summary: Great Game
Review: I think this game was rated a little unfairly in some of the other reviews. OK, OK, OK Shure this game starts out a little slow (one of it's only cons) But the reward for your hard work is great. After about what? a hour and a half The plot is so addicting that you can't stop playing. 3D games are notorious for having poor background animation but good charictor animation. This game however excells in both airas giving a nice balanced look to the game. The voice-overs in this game are not the absolute best they could be but the excelent script kind of blocks that so it is barly noticeable. The "langauge" in this game isn't that bad at all, in other reviews people say it is unnessicary but I think it is an important part of the charictor developement. Overall this game is very good (4 and a half stars) Strongly recomended but not for lazy people looking for instant gratification...

Summary: Reluctant player hooked
Review: Despite my short attention span for PC games, I played this game feverishly in the course of a week. So few games are marketed with women in mind, and it was great to have a heroine whose physical charms don't outshine her abilities. Very fun, very addictive, very imaginative, very witty. I can't wait for the sequel!

Summary: The Best
Review: This game is the best I've ever played, period. It has one of the best plotlines of ANY media I've ever experienced. I nearly wept after finishing this game, it is that good. As to the reviewer the thinks the game uses profanity for profanities sake, I guess he wasn't ever 18 (or around "normal" 18 year olds). She speaks and acts just as she should for a girl that age. As do all the rest of the characters, for the most part. Heck, my sister (21 now) would make a salior blush and the characters in this story don't come anywhere near that level of profanity. It just adds to the realism and emotional involvement (when the lead cries out "Oh ..." after an accident she caused, you feel and understand her situation and what was going through her head at that instant far better then if she had said anything else). Just buy it and play it... period. You won't regret it. Although the puzzles could have been slightly harder and the point and click interface makes some puzzles far too easy. The rest of the game more then makes up for those shortcomings. My only question is where is the next one!

Summary: The Longest Dialogue
Review: An interesting central character (April) who is voiced well, good 2D scenery, and a reasonably fantastic storyline is tempered somewhat by dialogue exchanges that go on forever. Feel free to pluck your eyebrows, do some light reading, exfoliate, whatever quiet activities you may have been putting off, as you wait for dialogue exchanges to go on and on. And on they must go, because April's journey can't continue until the exchanges are completed. As you may know, this game is not American or UK, it was translated from another language in a country where presumably people have much more time on their hands. Just about every scene could have been sped up - as could April's walking speed (even running is too slow). I applaud the designers' efforts to make a complex story, but they clearly needed someone to reign in their excess dialogue and plodding pace.

Summary: I was sorry I had to finish it
Review: The Longest Journey is the best adventure game I've played in years. It's so well written that playing it is like reading a wonderful fantasy novel. The puzzles are logical instead of obscure; it's not easy, but it makes sense. I was very rarely frustrated, if at all. If you don't like long conversations, this is not the game for you. But if you enjoy meeting interesting characters and playing an absorbing plotline, you'll be sorry when the game ends too.

Summary: The Longest Journey
Review: I'm not a huge computer game fan, but my computer-geek boyfriend occasionally turns me onto one and I get hooked. This game was easy to play, and the story kept my interest up to the end. There was a lot of thinking and no fighting involved, which made the game much more enjoyable for an uncoordinated girl like me. If there were more games like The Longest Journey out there, I might turn into a full-fledged computer geek myself!

Summary: From an inexpeienced gamer -
Review: I did enjoy the game. But... It was really very talky, especially at the beginning. My mind wandered. I prefer a logical puzzle and some were of the "throw in the kitchen sink" variety, which had me searching for the hint sheets. I would never have gotten that first key without them. In general I did enjoy the goings on of April, and really liked Crow. The surprise ending left me wondering if I'd missed something.

Summary: The Best Adventure Game Ever
Review: This game has been the most worthwhile investment I have EVER spent money on! Yes, it may be very time-consuming and it may even get off to a slow start for some of the more impatient gamers in the world, but once you begin this journey, you will lose track of time because your mind will be so captivated! A never before seen mix of acting, gaming, and cinematic animation make this game the only of its kind. Anyone who gives this game a negative rating did not give it any chance and by all means, do not listen to them! Buy this game! The reason why you may not have heard about this game? Well, probably because the adventure genre had been slowly dying off for the past few years and most likely, it was developed by a smaller gaming company outside of the US. I also have to fault gaming critics everywhere in the US for not giving this game its deserved accolades on its release; it took them months to finally stop their drooling over Diablo 2 to even pick up the box! If you spent money on that game (Diablo 2), made by a second-rate gaming company (Blizzard Entertainment), you owe it to yourself to go out and buy The Longest Journey, more than likely instead of the Diablo 2 expansion pack! It is well worth the money! So quit playing Black and White, take a break from The Sims (Difficult as it may be!), go and get a partial refund, if you can, for Diablo 2, and go out and buy The Longest Journey.

Summary: Good effort
Review: Pros: 1. Wonderful, beautiful, amazing graphics 2. Good character controls 3. Breathes some much-needed life into the adventure genre 4. Interesting premise for the story 5. Game lasts a good long time Cons: 1. Takes it a while to get interesting. Too much "buildup." 2. Voice acting is painful at times, suffering from the "B-grade talent" syndrome that unfortunately afflicts so many games. 3. Some puzzles are downright exasperating. Others are no-brainers. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground here. 4. Profanity for the sake of profanity. (Or probably more accurately: profanity for the sake of a "mature" ESRB rating.) The profanity is basically just there. That's it. There is no real reason for it. It does nothing to enhance the dialog, or flesh out the plot (which fairly resembles swiss cheese anyway, with HUGE unexplained holes left in the story), and it doesn't enhance the characters in the story at all. It's just profanity...and it doesn't need to be there. Shame they felt the apparent need to throw it in. All in all, a good purchase, though. The pros still outweigh the cons.

Summary: Have to rave about this game!!
Review: I don't write reviews but I had to tell those of you looking for a witty,exciting,non-combative,puzzle solving adventure game, This is it! Graphics are good,sound quality is great, The character you play had me giggling at some of her responses,help is available in various forms within the game as well as having a good internet site with hints and links to another site which allows you to only see one hint at a time using the UHS reader.Like a good book I could not wait to get back to this game each day and found it very difficult to tear myself away from it. I wish there were more of this type of non-combative adventures.The only niggles I had was that some of the conversations waffled a little and there is enough swearing in it for me to put a 15yrs & over rating on it,but it didn't detract from the total enjoyment and read the book at the end of the game!. Well done Funcom
