Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I real enjoyment!
Review: I just finished Clue Chronicles: Fatal Illusion and The Last Express was so much better. The Last Express doesn't have the graphics and is half the price of Fatal Illusion but it was twice the game. It doesn't really have puzzles in it though if you're looking for that. A real good Adventure/Mystery.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good game for person sick of pointless puzzles
Review: I liked this game a lot. It had an interesting storyline, I really felt for the charcters in the end, I haven't felt that way since Gabriel Knight 2. I had to save a lot in the game but I really had no complaints about that. Some people found it tedious to go back a redo sections of the game if they missed a crucial conversation. I guess if you like to finish games quickly then this game is not for you. I liked that you got to know each character in the game, and the dual love stories added romance. I liked the historical background and the artwork of the movie. It was probably one of the best adventure games I have played.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This game is great
Review: I love playing this game, I love running up and down the train (or hanging off the side) in order to find things and people, sneaking into rooms, stealing certain items, and most of all ... the indian gentleman in my sleeping car. It's great because you can wind back the clock (although there are only preset times you can set it back), and do over whatever you did wrong. You can just walk around the train until the game ends, listening to everyone's conversations if you want, although you won't get far in the game. This game is great!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely engrossing, unique game
Review: I love this game. It's beautifully and painstakingly designed; the characters become quite real as you go along; you actually -feel- like you're on a train in the early 1900s. Amazing.

I still haven't finished the game, although I found a walk-thru (on the Internet) and printed it out just in case I should decide to use it. But the great thing about this game is the atmosphere and, in my opinion, soaking it up is half the fun, so I'm really not in any hurry to complete the game.

There are some shortcomings, but other reviewers have described them quite well. All in all, the game's shortcomings are not significant enough to lower my opinion of this truly outstanding game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Immersive, beautiful, well-written Game
Review: I loved this game. I had to cheat a little (found a web walk-through) to finish it, but it was a fantastic game, with splendid character development. If it was a novel, it would have been a bestseller. The gameplay was fun, the dialogue realistic and well-written, and I loved the rotoscoped animated cut scenes (I despise those cheezy badly-acted live action characters in many games). I enjoyed playing the Last Express right up to the end, more than any other game I have played.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A One-of-a-kind Game!
Review: I must start this by saying that words cannot discribe this game to any length. This game combines the roleplaying technique that most people enjoy, the action technique which is always fun, and, at the same time, carries a very complex and intriguing plot. What starts as your basic murder mystery quickly evolves into something much bigger. So big that, according to the game, it helps to start World War 1. In the meaned time, you don't have to continually worry about saving your game after your every move, like most games these days.

The only thing you might want to argue about is that the game goes on a sort of time limit. Very slow, of course, but you go from hour to hour, and gradually day turns to night, and in that much time you could miss a very important clue, or even be killed or arrested and loose the game.

In all this is one game that is 100% worth your time and money. You deffinately won't be sorry.

Summary: Wow........I mean it....Wow
Review: I too was jaded by the storyline and graphics of the Longest Journey as I was preparing to play this game. I was looking for a game to take me on an adventure of that level. When I first started playing The Last Express I was severely dissapointed. I didnt know what was going on at all. I was missing conversations and I was dying left and right. So I uninstalled it and said phooey. The nex day I decided to give it one more try. This time I was in all the right places in all the right times and two days later after being glued to the screen I beat the game. An amazing ending a superior storyline and the experience of riding the orient express makes this game truly unique and a must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I totally love this game. The story of this game is excellent. The fighting scenes are very fun.It is a little hard but still great fun. The graphics are great too. The length of this is very long which makes it great because you don't finish it in like, one day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Adventure Game Ever Made!
Review: I was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of the Last Express the first time it was made available which was in 1997. I was very intrigued after I saw the preview that was included with MYST. After about five good minutes into playing the game I found this to be no ordinary common variety game. The graphics were spectacluar and very detailed! The artists really have outdone themselves. The animation, I thought, added substance to the game that you probably can't get with FMV. Anyone who has played full motion video games can probably relate. The voice-overs were really something. They were flawless, and very convincing. I have to say the touchstone of the game itself is the train. You are free to roam as you please in a beautifully detailed luxury train that is historically correct in all areas(Except for the color of the blankets in your compartment they were Red not Blue) suspended in "real time." For example if you are in the sleeping cars you may hear the conductors chatting, or at the same time a German man is flirting with an Austrian woman in the dining car -- it really adds a reality that is so effective you forget you are at the computer and almost believe you are right there on the train - as the game is portrayed in first person for the most part. So check it out, take a ride on the fabled Orient Express. You won't be sorry you did, and once you're finished you will hope for a sequel that is long overdue!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Europe, Trains, Murder, Romance - The perfect adventure game
Review: I would highly recommend this game for those history buffs who like trains and like to solve murder mystries on them. The soundtrack for this game is nothing short of classic Hollywood. The game takes to you inside The Orient Express. Europe is literally on the brink of World War I. You are a young American doctor who is invited by a close friend to join him on a trip to Constantinople. Before you even board the train certain events have transpired, which affect the rest of your journey.
The story revolves around the charcters on the train.
And you meet several interesting ones - a German industrialist, a Russian anarchist, a young and innocent Russian girl and her grandfather, a remnant of the Czar, a Serbian rebel couple, a North-African tribal chief, just to name a few. In all, about 30 charecters. You really have to understand each character, their mannerisms, and their movements and behavior in general. They all play an intricate role in making the story.

There are lots of death-defying stunt fights, magic, romance and great music. This game is nothing short of the Indiana Jones Trilogy.
