The Longest Journey: Adventure Game of the Year Edition

Summary: Unstable and lame...
Review: This seemed like a good game at first but later it became clear that it's more like a boring movie. Conversations are SOOOO LONG that I wanted to tear out my hair - and I like the more story-oriented games; but this is waaay too much. It starts out pretty interestingly but slumps down quickly and never returns. Graphics and music are really good (that's why I gave 2 stars instead of 1.)

The game is also unbelivably unstable - it crashed so many times that I stopped counting after 50. I must admit, I haven't finished it yet, so it may even turn into the best games ever evetually, but since it crashes all the time, I just don't see that happening. The patch is worthless, I couldn't even get it to install (I'm not sure if I have the latest version and cannot find out.)

Avoid it.

Summary: A great long journey!
Review: I love this game. After I finished the game, I had a sense of lost! I want more! I want to spend more time with April and her friends!

The only thing that I hoped that they did was to put more content at the end. I want to know what happened to April's friends. I want to see them talking to each other again.

I heard that they want to make a sequal of this game. Can't wait!

Summary: Pretty Good Overall From a Graphics Freak
Review: First thing: My copy played flawlessly, no small thing. The backgroud graphics were very interesting, which made the upclose ones all the more jarring. Still suitable. There is a LOT of dialogue. Some of the sound quality on my CD's was less than perfect, but "perfect" has become a relative thing in this world. On the whole, I would rate the game as a lot of fun w/ minimal frustration, and reasonably good graphics (a must for me). The ending is interesting. 'Nuf said.

As such games go, it was definitely better than average, and I'd recommend it.
