Summary: A wild western!
Review: All of Cyberflix's games have been great, and Dust is no exception. Although the graphics of this game were not as good as in Titanic and Redjack, they were better than a lot of games. Set in an old western town, Diamondback, this game includes a large cast of characters, good humor, and plenty of adventure. You can talk to different characters, and get things and information from them, use objects to help you (or hurt you), and do a little bit of fighting. After hearing what a character has to say, you have a series of choices of what to say. This game is witty, challenging, and exciting.

Summary: Dust
Review: Dust is a vey interesting game that the box would have you belive is just a western shoot-up. Not spoil it, but after a long peroid of gameplay you think you heve solved alll the puzzles of the game, but you just barly got half way through. Duat is a lot of fun and it is one of the few adventure games i have played more than once, because it is so interesting.

Summary: A diamond in the rough
Review: Dust is one of those games that has low budget and price written all over it.. yet is a joy to play almost throughout. The basic gist of the game is that you are a stranger drifting through the old west. After a near gunfight with a known Billy the Kid Wannabee, you flee into the country to come across a out of the way town in the middle of the desert. The town sits almost forgotten to the world, yet the inhabinets are far from ordinary.

Unlike many adventure games, Dust uses its characters to the fullest. In almost every scene a character is present,subject to your questions and interaction. Few times will you wander aimlessly seeing nothing but well structured graphics to keep you company. Although the game used real actors(term used loosely) to do the interaction scenes... the acting is pretty atrocious. However the game's humor and mulitple characters more then makes up for it. The game's plot coasts constantly through, and actually makes you eager for every new twist and makes you hate to see the game end.

The game also isn't a lineal, "you have to do this to advance" type game for the most part. The game actually is fun in that there are several different tangents that your actions can cause. Although they don't affect the game outcome.. they provide different directions for the characters to act.

My only major gripe of the game was the underworld portion. Ninety percent of the game was in the town, and was flat out fun at every turn. However the underworld is not only much more difficult then the rest(got to know the certain way to beat it), it strays from the tongue in cheek mood of most the game. I would have been perfectly content with the game ending after the gunfight with "The Kid".

However if you see Dust in a store.. its definatley worth the [money], and couple of days you will put into it. You probably will never forget the characters of the game.

Give it a try

Summary: Dust
Review: Dust is truly a challenging game. Its challenging puzzles, laughable characters, and demonstrates many examples of irony. Take Dr. H. Rodham for example (Flowers? I thought we were finished with her). The entire game, despite being a bit slow, is the kind of game that you look back at and think, "Wow!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dust
Review: I agree with this much: the western genre is fascinating and wish there were more games with this premise. However, when I bought it I didn't realize how horribly dated and poorly executed this game is. The performances are nothing short of terrible. In fact, it's obvious the makers didn't use real actors, and may have actually done the voices themselves. I don't understand why everyone is giving this game 4 and 5 stars, but then again, I haven't finished it, so it may have some redeeming qualities. If you're looking for a good period-piece adventure game, you shoud spend the extra $ and get Grim Fandango.

Summary: Just a fun game
Review: I don't leave many reviews, but this is just a good old fun game for putzy around on a Friday night. My favorite part is just playing poker with 3 other gunmen in the saloon. I once played 4 hours of poker and drinking beer, just like I would with friends. For an old 1995 game, it is still a fun game. If you find it, just pick up. I run it on an old ACER (200Mhz) with a Windows 2000 O.S. and it seems to run good. I haven't put it on my new computers yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This game is extremely fun and entertaining!
Review: I would DEFINITELY buy this game. I bought it a while ago and found it very entertaining and funny. You can go up to a veriety of different, humorous charactures that will tell you different missions you have to do to advance in the game. Just don't back talk to them or they might never speak to you again. I would strongly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
