Summary: One of the very best
Review: I first played this game back in 1998, and recently dug it out and played it again. It is still one of the best of this type, if not the best. I could say a lot more but, just buy it. you will be glad you did. This game i believe will be timeless i think people will still be playing this as long as there are machines to run it.Chris

Summary: "Dahlia's" World Satisfyingly Noir
Review: I'm relatively new to the computer gaming world, and picked this up while looking for something to get me past the sorrow of finishing Riven. As a crime fiction writer and reader, I thought the plot was reasonably well-designed and interesting. I confess to cheating on some of the puzzles, usually because I was in a hurry to see what happened next. There's a pretty good mix of harder and easier puzzles, and the best fit neatly into the plotline. There are a number of easier puzzles, however, that don't really serve to advance the plot. I found this only mildly annoying, though, because most were out of my way pretty quickly. The graphics are great, very "immersible," and even the acting isn't bad. (There are some entertaining easter eggs here and there that enliven the main character's role.) The villain is satisfyingly vile, and acted with disturbing enthusiasm. In short, I enjoyed the whole thing up to the end, which I found predictable and somewhat disappointing. Nonetheless, I'd definitely recommend Dahlia, because even though I found the end unsurprising I wouldn't have missed the villain's endgame bloodthirsty exuberance for anything.

Summary: Great and super creepy game!
Review: This game is super creepy! I totally loved it! There are only a few problems. 1. It was kind of not understandable. I totally didn't understand the end. I mean, aren't ends supposed to be happy? The end was really freaky, too, but I liked it. 2.Bugs. Maybe it was just my game, but especially on disc six, it would shut down withan error message every 20 seconds! I'm not exagerrating either. 3. Um, why is this game rated everyone? Ages 6 and up, I mean, this is a scary game with dead bodies and parts of bodies, swearing, lots of violence, blood and gore, ext. It should be at least rated teen. 4. Hard puzzles. I used the walkthrough a lot, probably because I am stupic. Advice: Use a walkthrough. Or hints! Other then that, this game is fantastic! It has a great storyline, terrific acting, fabulous graphics, and lots of other great stuff too! Yeah, this game is sort of depressing, but there are lot of things you could do to get a laugh, like spin around really fast and you will get a funny video clip, or click on yourself when you are on the phone at the sunset arms hotel, or click shift and leave the santini house. My advice: definitly buy this game!!!!

Summary: Addictive
Review: This game was addictived from the word start. There are several hard puzzles but the outcome is worth the work. I had to use tips from the internet on occasion but it did not take away the thril of the game. It is set back in the 4o's and it like watching a movie unravel before your eyes. The graphics were great and very quick to go from one play to another. A very good "who done it" with a unbelievable ending.

Summary: Great game, but it should be rated Teen or Mature
Review: This is an awesome game but I really don't think It should be rated "E" for everyone.It needs a "Teen" or even "Mature" rating. For example: In the begining of the game you investigate, and try to catch, a psycho who chops people into pieces and wraps them up in newspapers. Don't get me wrong, the game and the puzzles are a blast to figure out, but it's the gore in the game that is not sutable for children. It has bloody and dead bodies+parts, demonic items+activity, murders, and sadistic characters. This game took me weeks to figure out. I actually tried to figure out the clues in my head at work. I looked forward into playing it every day.If you get this game make sure you write EVERYTHING down(Mapping, clues, pictures, etc). It will really be handy when you have to add up and figure out the clues later.

Summary: A superb adventure game.
Review: This is probably one of the best games I have ever bought. The reason, is because it puts together everything that should come into a good adventure game, hard puzzles, superb graphics and sound, and lots of depth. It's not for everyone, but if you like working out puzzles, and generally snooping around and investigating, you'll love this game.

Summary: Incredible!
Review: This was a fantastic computer game! I'd been bored for quite a while, and this was exactly what I needed to pick me up. "Black Dahlia" was an amazing mystery thriller with fantastic graphics. The actors were actually quite good, a rarity in most computer games. I was so addicted to this game that I spent my whole day on it instead of an essay I should have been working on! Some of the puzzles are difficult (I'll confess to using the cheat sheet on most of it), but it was all so beautifully done that I really didn't mind. You must try this game, it's incredible!
