Summary: Very dull
Review: The graphics are quite dull, the plot is dull, and for the most part, you are alone throughout the game. It was worth the $10 I paid but I'm glad I didn't spend more on it.

Summary: Good Puzzles , Good graphics with an English heroine
Review: This game has really nice graphics. The Louvre is an interesting setting for your adventures, which are in many different centuries. This is a point and click game with difficult to solve puzzles. The English heroine wears warrior like attire and is trying to save the Earth from evil villians, who are always a step ahead. There is very little violence in this game and it's not bloody at all. It's a fun game. The plot could be a little more developed as well as the star character.

Summary: SAVE SAVE SAVE
Review: This game is great. It's addictive. The puzzles are not impossible to solve if you are patient. BUT the game freezes extremely easily so SAVE SAVE SAVE every 2 minutes SAVE. If you have the patience this can be a very very enjoyable game. Just emember SAVE!!!

Summary: Worth Under Ten Bucks
Review: This game is not nearly as bad as some of the previous reviewers make it sound. To each his or her own, I guess, but I liked it. The 360-degree graphics are well done. The story is interesting, if you like history, mysticism, and romantic adventure. The puzzles make sense. If you don't like the cut scenes or watching Morgana change clothes, you can spacebar over them. Personally I think they add atmosphere. There is no blood, gore and shoot-em-up idiocy. Yes, you do kill enemies, but the game is mostly of the "stealth and cunning" variety, which I liked. I thought the Dictaphone stuff was kind of interesting (history of the Louvre), although non-essential to solving the game. It was one of those little "ambiance" elements that added to the value of the game, for me. I will agree with the criticism about the dubbing of bad English accents over what should have been French-speaking sharacters, but I could live with that. Geez, the game only costs ...! Well worth it in my opinion. It was entertaining, just challenging enough, and nice to look at. Not Myst, or even Obsidian, but a worthy lightweight effort. Go Dreamcatcher!

Summary: The plot thickens till goopy.
Review: This is a PG-13 game. With lewd comments and implied sex scenes, it's not for kids . I was okay with it, but I got a bit embarassed when my son asked me why the wagon was rocking and why the character left his clothes outside the wagon for Morgana to steal. You also have to kill people ruthlessly by ambush, often them seemed innocent guards. The plot is pretty dumb, and even though it is unusal the hero is female, everyone goes on, and on about it in the cut scenes. The misogyny got to me after a while. She ain't no Lara Croft, her dialogue was annoying rather than clever. There are ample opportunities to die throughout the game. There is no automatic save if you quit, so save often! Aside from that, the game has awesome graphics, but no "warp" mode like in Myst/Riven. The background sound was also too obviously looped. You get around clumsily by using a map in your inventory. The cut scenes have really bad sound quality (French speakers faking English accents) and after a few times I wanted to hit the space bar whenever I saw them coming on. They should have put a captioning option in there. Perfume urn sounded like "Peersfum Yeeern" As you get items, things that you would use them for or people who would react to them will appear in places you thought you had finished. The puzzles are easy, but not logical. Why would I use a crossbow on one lock and then later use acid, and then later use a spell if they all look the same? Also there is a really boring dictaphone that provided few clues to drone through. It was like Uncle Morty's slide show of his vacation through Hell. Then there were the magic chests to store your inventory. Heck, if my pockets had limited space, but all I had to do was to fly via map to the next chest and all my stuff would be in there, why didn't they just make my pockets bigger? Where's the suspense in that. I hated swapping CDs. Wish there was a complete install option (I have the storage space) to avoid swapping copy protected disks midway.

Summary: DO NOT CONSIDER THIS GAME VIOLENT
Review: this is a second review from me-after reading all the reviews-i had to add this-i do not know why this game is rated teen or considered violent-i despise horror games and even feel that seven games of the soul-minus the violence- is morbid and inappropriate for children -the underlying theme itself is morbid-this is not a bloody game at all -or- in my opinion-inappropriate for anyone-i have seen kids movies and cartoons with more violence-i would reccomend it to any age-i think that some parts of these reviews -and the teen rating-are very misleading

Summary: LOVE THE MESSENGER!
Review: THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GAMES-just to begin with-the story line is fantastic and the ending is anything but disappointing-i cannot understand anyone giving this game a bad review-it is a brilliant story with a surprise ending-i am tired of playing games and the end is a let down-this game delivers from beginning to end-i love this game so much i have given it as a gift to 12 different people so far-plus-you get a whole lot for your money-and the price is more than right on this game!

Summary: A fabulously fun game!!
Review: This was an absolutely enjoyable game all the way!! The graphics were absolutely marvelous, it had a plausible story line, and lots of puzzles which were not absolutely mind-boggling. The really neat thing with this one was the way the time travelling was treated, by moving forward a period of time but remaining in the same geographical location. I found it an absolutely interesting piece just from the architectural angle and the time zones covered. The puzzles were well done and in keeping with the periods of time being dealt with as well as in keeping with the story line. I have had this game just since Christmas and already I am on my third time through--just looking at the sights and being amazed. I hope you enjoy it!

Summary: Excellent
Review: Very addictive game. Hours of play as nothing is easy. Interesting use of different timezones for one location. Not quite as unfocused as Riven as you know what you are trying to find, but just as much requirement to look into every nook and cranny. Puzzles come in different formats, including some very complex ones. Highly recommended.
