I finshed Hotel Dusk: Room 215 today. Great game! I found the story really interesting. I felt like a few of the puzzles were cheap tricks such as...
SPOILER!!!!SPOILER!!!!SPOILER!!!!SPOILER!!!!
- * Using a pencil to rewind the tape instead of a pen...why did Hyde make a big deal out of the pen then? Just to throw me off the trail.
- * The time-limited escape from the basement. It's one of the most complicated puzzles, and then you kill me off and make me start over repeatedly until I can figure it out. Cheap shot.

...but most of them were fairly intuitive and stumped me on several occasions. I was really surprised by the ending of the story, which is great. I love surprises like that in games. :) The bonus scene after the credits rolled certainly opened the door (har har!) for a sequel, but I imagine that will never come to be. It's such a shame that games like this don't sell well enough to prompt follow-ups.
I hear you can replay it for a few extra scenes or puzzles.... I would like to see them, but I don't know if I am that interested. It was a fairly lengthy game with all the dialogue, so playing back through it might be more of a drag then a pleasantry. I'm sure I would eventually revisit the game someday and be pleasantly surprised to see that I can replay an old game with a freshened storyline; however, I only borrowed the game from my friend to play, so I can't keep it forever. Has anyone else played back through it? Is it worth my time?
