Summary: No Big Surprise
Review: :::sigh:::
What can I say about Nightlong? It's tedious, the voice acting is pathetic, the graphics are strange, and the plot is nearly non-existant. This game ignores the details of the storyline, and puts forth all their efforts into opening doors and collecting dead rats. I was expecting an in-depth and interesting game, but was greatly disappointed in the end. There were so many areas where the creators could have pushed the story along to make it more intriuging, but of course they did not.
Also, the puzzles are NOT logical. They're like standardized tests, only once correct answer when there are more possible ones. Lots of pixle searching, which drove me to read a walkthrough. And, with that, it only took me about ten hours to complete the game.
Maybe my expectations were too high, I was hoping for another The Longest Journey. But, in any case, this game fizzled out long before the climax.

Summary: play along the nightlong
Review: a decent game, what you would expect from a quality company such as dreamcatcher, however , gameplay very slow and redundant, graphics are very good when you go to cut scenes, other wise basic gameplay is fuzzy, with no way to increase video display, with my geforce 4600 it begs to be challanged
a good game at 10 bucks, worth it

Summary: Great game! but only for older machines
Review: An adventure game like they used to make them -- intelligent, funny, challenging, and thought-provoking. One warning: There's a major bug about a third of the way through the game that crashes the game to the desktop on machines running Win98 or later. The manufacturer's solution? Download a saved game from their website that picks up after the problem. Better than nothing, I suppose.

Summary: At least it didn't cost much!
Review: I like adventure games, but I like them to follow some sort of logical puzzle solving, so dyou can kind of get inside the mind of the creators, figure out how they think and figure the game out that way. These puzzles are completely illogical, obviously designed to be frustrating, and keep you trying different senseless things to proceed in the game. Also, although the 2D backgrounds were interesting at times, calling this a 3d game is quite a stretch by any definition. Even the 3d cut-scenes were crappy, and the graphics during regular gameplay were just terrible. Supposedly the game made "game of the year" in Europe, they must be pretty hard up over there, now I know not to take that as a commendation.

Summary: great game
Review: I loved this game. It satified what I like in adventure games. It could have been longer to give the story more time to develop. But I enjoyed it immensely.

Summary: A pinnacle!
Review: It is always a pleasure, especially in current era of 3D shoot'em up games, when a new adventure game in "old style" [2D, point-and-click interface] emerges. It is even better pleasure if it is a good adventure game. And Nightlong by Team 17 definitely belongs to this category.Your hero is named Joshua Reeve, he lives in 2099 and the game starts when he waits for a beautiful car, gets in it and goes through streets with old friend Hugh Martenson who is a governor of the Union city and currently faces some troubles. He became a target of terroristic attacks and asks Joshua for a help because he saved his life in the past and this is an opportunity for Joshua to do the same in return ... Nightlong comes on three CD full of perfect graphics, animations and music, the puzzles are on the right level of difficulty and the story pulls you in the game immediately from the beginning. If you are a fan of good adventure games, you will not regret the money you spend for buying it. I only hope that Nightlong is not the last adventure game from Team 17.

Summary: Critique of Nightlong
Review: Nightlong is a game similar to Myst, Riven, Amerizone, Reah and Dark Side Of The Moon. This short critique is divided into three parts. 1. The good points of the game, 2. The So-So points of the game and 3. The bad points of the game. 1. The good points of the game: Nightlong has a great story-line. It would make a good motion picture. The background graphics are better than average. It set in the future and reminds me of the Judge Dredd movie. 2. The So-So points of the game: The graphics of the characters could stand some improvement [some of them need a great deal of improvement]. Their mouths do not move with the dialog, like a badly dubbed foreign film, which is very annoying not to mention distracting. But it's understandable knowing that it is being translated into many languages. 3. The bad points of the game: The graphics of the characters seem to be a rush job. They are poorly done. Their movements are stiff, especially the mouths. They are to Howdy Doody-like [for the younger set and T. V. trivia illiterate I mean puppet-like]. Although the game is suppose to be in 3-D it is not what I call 3-D. You can't look up down or around. It is like watching a stage play. And in some places the stage is very large. And since you can't zoom in it is difficult to find certain items that you need. But by far the worse point [And a point that is inexcusable and needs to be corrected in any future edition of Nightlong and any new game releases.] is that when you save the game in disk 2 or 3 and shut it down. When you pick the game up again you have to first insert disk 1, then insert the disk where you saved the game. This is a unnecessary nuisance. Tips for the game: 1. Before you play the game get on the Internet and find a good walkthrough in case you get stuck. I advise this for all your games. Although some may look down on this you pay your hard earned money for your games. They should be fun not frustrating. 2. Read plenty of reviews before you shell out your money for a game. And I'm not talking about the creator/manufacturers reviews. Get on the Internet and find reviews from gaming magazines and more importantly [Since some gaming magazines are slanted because the gaming creator/manufacturers advertise in their rags.] find several reviews from Joe and Jane Blow
