Summary: More of the same
Review: If you've played 7th Guest, you've played 11th Hour. It's the same house -- the same puzzles -- the same general story -- and most of the same actors. Did they think that adding more and better FMV cutscenes would disguise that? Puh-LEASE. The only really positive thing about the game is how much fun it is to wander through an abandoned house poking at things. The puzzles are all of the improbable chess-problem sort, and several of them require you to play against the computer, a situation that is not always winnable. Quite frustrating! especially since every wrong move you make gets you an insulting remark by the overacting villain. Add to it that the basic story is hopelessly contrived and silly, the ending unrewarding, and the neverending music boring and hokey, and ... well, I wouldn't call it a winner. If you're intrigued by ghost stories, go play 7th Guest. It's more fun and at least has the benefit of originality.

Summary: Even now...this game spooks me.....
Review: The 11th Hour is a excellent game. Now first off I don't want to hear any new gamers bad-mouthing this game. This is a old game that came out in the early 90's and it used the software that was available at that time. But it truly pushed the limit in this area because the game looked great back then...and still does today. So yes there were some cheezy effects, but overall this game was very good. The GRAPHICS are what to be expected of a game of this age, but be warned, despite its old software....the game is still very spooky. You basically navigate a house with pre-rendered backgrounds and what looks to be a early PDA called a GameBook. Full-Motion-Video scenes are shown and look very good. The GAMEPLAY is everything you could want and expect from a puzzle game. The game progresses with you solving puzzles and making key choices in some areas. This is early attempts at combining a puzzle game with a progressing Horror movie. You do however get help from a small Game Book that resemembles the early PDA's you could buy at Radio Shack. The Gamebook will give you clues and show FMV sequences. You can also save and load your game thru this gamebook. However, BEWARE! If you do not like solving puzzles then you will not like this game. The STORY is one of the best I have seen for a PC Game. It is very elaborate and will have you wanting to find out more as you progress thru the game. Basically you are a TV producer named Carl Denning. You sleep with one of your hosts from a Investigator show and then break it off with her in a bad way. She soon disappears in a spooky mansion she was investigating during her affair with Carl. This is the Stauf Mansion from the previous game, The 7th Guest. Carl recieves the Gamebook and is instructed to go to the Stauf Mansion to save the host he just broke up with. As you arrive at the Mansion, you prepare to find out what exactly happened to her...and there the story begins.. The MUSIC is hands down, the best PC game score I have ever heard. The producer of the music is a group called, The Fat Man. The music really brings this game go life in a very scary way. The music will implant itself into your mind even when you power off your PC and go to sleep. Some of the music is soo distrubing you won't want to visit some rooms in the house, trust me! Amazon does sell the score of this music on CD if you must have it to own. Overall this game really made a impact despite the company Trilobyte going belly up. It really did disturb me when I went to go to sleep and I could still hear the music in my head. Oh the infernal melody! If you get stuck you can find some hints at www.tbyte.com . I have honestly played thru the game about 4 times and it still distrubs me. Stauf will taunt you all throughout the mansion, so be prepared for that. Get this game, trust me, if you are a puzzle freak you will enjoy this game. If you can't find it on here...try Ebay. And be sure to check out the Soundtrack to this movie in Amazon's Music area.

Summary: It could have been better
Review: The 11th hour is a fair game. It's mix of puzzles and riddles along with the movies are the foundation for a great game, but somewhere along the way someone forgot something. The storyline leaves a great deal to be desired, you quickly begin to dislike all the people in it. The mansion is a little bit creepy, being in ruins, but it just looks more dirty than anything. The puzzles are mostly games against Stauf, rather than real puzzles like in the 7th guest. All of the games/puzzles are lacking the creepy deranged quality that was so prevolent in the 7th guest. The music doesn't leave you feeling paranoid, like you are being watched, one of the greatest losses from the first game. In this game Stauf doesn't taunt you with creepy phrases and sly comments, instead he insults you with none of the famous Stauf wit that leaves your bones chilled and increadibly nervous. I personaly became rather irritated at stauf's comments. All in all the 11 hour is missing all of the elements that made the 7th guest such a horrifyingly unnerving game, but in and of itself it makes a decent horror film/game.

Summary: Not as good as the first
Review: The sequel to 7th Guest, 11th hour turns what was sort of a fairy tale horror story (like Frankenstein) into something much more 'gritty' and adult. I was very dissapointed. Issues such as rape, mutilation, and lots of gore are brought up in this game and all of the psychological horror of the previous game (which is what made it such a ball for me to play) has been forgotten. The plot goes along and you're a reporter seeking his friend who is trapped in the mansion of Stauf. A lot of things from the previous game were ignored... in 7th guest the mansion ws up on a high rocky hill and in 11th hour its now in a grassy lot with an iron fence around it. I didn't like the fact that they decided to make such a unique concept into something more 'adult and gritty', and as I progressed through the storyline I began to pretty much hate everyone in the game character wise. Aren't you supposed to want to save people? On a technical aspect, the folks that have re-released this game have done nothing to update the software at all and there is a very high likleyhood that this won't run on your machine. My copy decided to install a little shareware VGA driver on my computer without my permission and it was an annoyance to get rid of. Overall, the dissapointing story and software problems made this game not worth the money, even at the reasonable price being offered for it.

Summary: Very Scary, Fun, And Great Game
Review: This game is the sequal to the very popular game THE 7TH GUEST. This game contained decent graphics and much fun play. But the 2nd game is very very good....It has great graphics, amazing story line, and is very unique as the first one. I would suggets this game to players of the age 15 and up. This story is about your friend was kidnaped by the evil spirt known and Stauf. You must go back into the haunted house and save her and finally defeat Stauf...it has wonderful puzzles and is very realistic...I loved this game...and for the price it is now its certainly and a must have...

Summary: Tough puzzles, creepy atmosphere--great game!
Review: This is the sequel to the blockbuster adventure-puzzle game, 7th Guest. You're back in the mansion, trying to find your friend. Not only are there more fiendish puzzles to solve, but there are also riddles to unravel as well. Both will either open up more of the house, or provide further video clips, pushing the story forward. I loved the fact that I could take a break from the (sometimes insanely hard) puzzles and work on the riddles, and still progress in the game. This is a mature game--no swearing, but lots of disturbing imagery and some risque moments--nothing beyond PG-13 though. It's very similar in style to the first game, with some improvements (the sound isn't so faint, for starters), and the story is fantastic. And Stauf is as evil--and sly--as ever.

Summary: A great follow-up!
Review: Though not as good as the 7th Guest, this sequel was still terrific. With another good story and terrific graphics, this has just as challenging puzzles as the first game with an added twist: You get clues after solving a puzzle that lead to an object in the house that you must find. A nice little twist by giving you a puzzle in a puzzle. In this istallment, you are solving a mystery a little bit more in this game that leads to a choice to be made at the end (I recommend saving at this point so you can see all of the endings). It took a little too long for them to release this game and ultimately started their downward plunge as this game continuosly had it's release date pushed back (go to gamespot.com and somewhere they have a story they wrote about the rise and fall of Trilobyte who originally did this game). Before the company went under, they had started a 3rd game in this series, but the company folded and it was never completed. Oh well. Get this game. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: An Excellent Game (Crazy old Stauf is still waiting!)
Review: When I first bought The 11th Hour, I didn't know what it was about. However, the game proved to be very entertaining. The first time around, it seems a little overwhelming. Navigation may be confusing, and the story seems odd and detached. But don't let that discourage you: once you've completed the first round of puzzles, the storyline picks up, and the further you go in the mansion, the more you learn. The mad toymaker Stauf is sure to poke fun at your every move, but you can beat him using the clues and help from your ally, Samantha, who stands behind you one hundred percent. As a slight warning to the kids who may have been fans of the original 7th Guest, this game is much more adult-oriented, and you may have trouble understanding the plot. I would not recommend The 11th Hour to anyone less than fifteen years old. This game does require some patience, and it can be fully appreciated only by gamers who take an interest in logic. In general, however, Stauf is hilarious with his riddles and wisecracks throughout the game, and they may help you smile when you feel lost in a puzzle.
