Totally immersive storyline, believable characters and classic adventure gameplay puts this game in a league of it's own

User Rating: 9.7 | The Longest Journey PC
GAMEPLAY: Classic point-and-click adventure game. The puzzles that adventure gamers that have grown to love are all in here and some of which are challenging, to say the least. You will spend the majority of the time in the game just listening to speech from the various characters, but when it comes to solving a puzzle or figuring out what to do next, it will have you spending hours there as well. Good balance between the two.

GRAPHICS: Beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds as your polygonal character moves around. FMV is intergrated seamlessly into this game. The FMV sequences remind me of how FF7 seamlessly integrated such sequences with actual gameplay.

SOUND: Superb voice actors and moody music puts you in Newport, Venice and Arcadia. The voice acting is some of the best I've heard in any game. The way they all deliver their lines is awesome. It brings the player that much closer to the character.

VALUE: Definitely worth playing multiple times through to actually grasp everything that is going on with the story. The first time through everything is new to the player and with the amount of story that is thrown at the player it's hard to digest all of it at once.

After playing it multiple times myself I'm making this one of the best games I have ever played. It's like a favorite movie or book. You can watch the movie or read the book multiple times and you are entertained each and every time regardless of you knowing the ultimate outcome. This is one step better. This is a game, which you can interact with. Picture it as an interactive novel/movie :)

A must buy for anyone who loves a great story!
