Summary: A Good Game, But Gets Boring
Review: The game play is excellent and the 3D world is amazing--but after you have been playing it for about a week, you get sick of the same thing over and over and over...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Frustrating at the start. Hopeless by the end.
Review: The graphics are rich and interesting as well as the sound. Thats where it ends. Controls were difficult to use. Clues to puzzles, non existent. You waist alot of time running around trying to figure out what to do. After the first hour of game play I gave up and used a walkthrough. The plot is a linear sequence of scenes (about 11 in all). Once you leave a scene you cannot return so if you forget something in scene 3 that you need in scene 11 - well tough luck. You have to start over. The scenes present puzzles that become increasingly difficult as you progress. Unless you have a lightning fast processor you won't be able to complete the adventure. Game speed will get bogged down, game controls will be sluggish, you can't draw weapons fast enough, you can't run to escape a threat, etc. Don't waist your money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice graphics but the game is terrible.
Review: When I started playing the game, I regretted buying it instantly. The graphics were stunning. The music was engaging. However, the controls were extremely confusing.

Talking with characters in the game was a tedious task- you have to position yourself directly infront of anyone that you wanted speak to. And before you can press the "action" button, the guy walks away. When you finally get to talk to the person that you wanted to speak to, he answers " Go away little boy !" All the effort for nothing !

At the start of the game, you are thrown into an unfamilliar world that is supposed to be the future. The game lacks clues and each puzzle, in turn, seems disturbingly more illogical than the one before, thus you have completely no idea what to do or where to go, except running around mindlessly.

The game has many beautifully rendered landscapes but this does not make it up for the gameplay. Worst still, the many wacky camera angles that you have to endure throughout the game will make you head spin. Even the camera angles in TombRaider games aren't this bad.

This game has a nice packaging and graphics- but don't be fooled by it.
