Summary: OK for the price
Review: A beautifully rendered, but strange and wasteful tale. I bought Morpheus because it was inexpensive and the type of game I love. But I was quickly plunged into a muddled, strange and frankly, uninteresting plot involving a bunch of awful people that deserved their awful fates.

After perservering through several pointless and not-very-tricky puzzles, you discover that everyone gets what they deserve. And, from the original days of Myst, we're used to a slight let-down at the end, as a movie-ette wraps up the final details of our long ordeal, but Morpheus just leaves you wondering - did the programmers know what happened to our heros?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great game
Review: Although the graphics are somewhat outdated, the storyline and puzzles are second only to the Myst series. Details in the storyline came together logically with required inventories, and the game allowed for some exploration (the correct path was not always the only path). Great game for beginners and intermediate players.

Summary: A fun game with pretty good graphics and not too difficult.
Review: As a mom who doesn't have hours on end to play a game, I liked this one. It saved your place, exactly where you were. There was no gore, a mildy interesting plot, and came together nicely as the puzzles were solved. The ending was a bit of a let down (aren't they always?). I only wish I could have roamed a bit further around the ship. A few more false leads makes things interesting.

Summary: Beautiful Graphics - Terrible Acting - Big Letdown!
Review: At first this game seemed intriguing and mysterious, really complex - but that's only on the surface. There is no complexity, the puzzles are the game! I love adventure games, however, I haven't found any yet that will challenge me intellectually. The puzzle solving just doesn't do it for me. I would like to see a game that presents a better story, a true mystery where one would unravel a real story not just puzzles. The end is such a dissapointment - remember Dallas, when Victoria Principle wakes up from a dream and finds that Bobby never really died? Well this is just as bad. It's a shame because the graphics are good and the different worlds are so interesting and intrigueing. And that's all they are, teasers with no true substance and a really lame ending.

Summary: Morpheus is cheap but worth it?
Review: I bought Morpheus allured by the cheap price. But in the first day of play i went online and downloaded as many cheats as possible because the game was too frustrating for me. The puzzles just didn't make sense. Then I bought Myst shortly after and had a blast without the headache. Morpheus was a few days of fun but in my opinion just spend a little more and get Myst or Riven.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really entertaining, a lot of fun to play.
Review: I found myself totally engrossed in this game. It is visually delightful, imaginative and enough of a challenge to be really interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the 1920's haunted ship,the story, the characters, and the puzzles.Most of all, I enjoyed the creativity, imagination,and challenges of the characters dreamworlds. This is a game worth having. I was entertained and challenged, without blood guts and gore. In fact I ended up buying five of "Morpheus" to give as Christmas gifts. If you enjoy the creative and imaginative aspects of gaming, and can be entertained without violence, this is your game.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Morpheus, very good game but very creapy.
Review: I love this games story and its mix of old and new technology. For example there are old recoring devices and old ship equipment and also a machine that creates dreams and heals the users (very complicated you have to play it to understant). The controls are easy; it's a simple point and click system. The graphics are very good and the acting is good except for the main character (you control him) his voice overs and comments are basicly without emotion. A very good adventure game but heres where it gets creapy. There are ghosts everywhere and playing it alone in the dark is dangerous. You can go into the undecoritive bowels of the ship and just the sceanery will scare you. It makes you want to pass the part quickly and go back to the colorful sceans. Otherwise a great game. If you like older sci-fi games with a slightly creapy feel definitly get this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Escapism
Review: I loved this game. Initially I bought it because of the price...and because I thought it might be interesting. I was hooked right from the jump. The graphics were incredible and the little movie scenes took me by surprise and left me with goosebumps. I'm not a bigtime gamer but I love this type of game where you can just get lost in the world you're playing in. I especially enjoyed the dream worlds...I wish they were more in-depth so I could have explored even more and spent more time there. I recommend this game to everyone who likes the escape of this type of game. Some of the other reviews on here talk about flatness of acting and all kinds of technical flaws, etc...just play the game and immerse yourself. You'll love it... I want to make a return trip to the Herculania and all it's bizarre, magnificent worlds!
