Rating: Summary: Pretty Good Role Playing Adventure Review: Nightlong is a good game in the fashion of the old King's Quest or Return to Zork. The graphics are spectacular, and it has an interesting storyline. The challenges you must complete are fairly difficult, but anyone could get them eventually. The game is rated Teen because of some foul language and the shape of the women, but it's nothing you would't see or hear on TV. The one main problem I had with the game is that it's so short. The box says there's 40 hours of play but I beat it in 3 days after maybe 10 hours of play (I'm on Christmas vacation). But despite that, Nightlong is a satisfying adventure game.
Rating: Summary: Another pure adventure game that was enjoyable. Review: Not as long as the Longest Journey but just as fun.
Rating: Summary: As good as it gets Review: Ok, there are a lot of great games out there....and this is one of them! Ok..... you have to like adventure games with puzzles that sometimes make you say "Ok I'll turn the computer off and get back to it later". But despite this, the graphics are so cool and so polished that this game is a jewel. Plus, the multimedia ambiance is astonishing, and the game goes your pace...you won't get killed opening the door, or having a glass of water, or patting your cat. As for myself, I take little sips of it, and everytime the caracter changes location, I pray that this is not the last scene.I've been playing with it for months. One last thing.... this game is made by Italian folks. I am not Italian...so I have no interest in pointing this out, except that it makes the lips of the caracters desynchronised to the phrases sounded out in English. By the way, these guys are also the great inventors of other great games like Ark of Time for example. So let yourself go, jump into this very well though imaginary world, and get absorbed by the night.

Rating: Summary: Obscureness runs amuck Review: Story line is intriguing, but some puzzles are too obscure to be fun. Although "anyone" could get them after awhile, after awhile, I could care less. If you get it on sale and need an adventure game fix, get it. If not, just be productive and mow the lawn.

Rating: Summary: old but fun Review: This game is now quite old. It's still pretty fun though. The best attraction is the wisecracking main character. Some of the puzzles are of the tedious "search and search and search until you find that one item that you didn't see" variety. In fact, the puzzles were generally a weak point in the game. I got bored with them and checked UHS for solutions. I didn't get bored with the plot though, which was rather fun.
