Just as my title suggests, a good game but not good enough to be considered top notch. Plus points are the graphics and sound quality as well as a reasonable story line. What is not so good is that you have to play at the game's pace not your own. The voice overs are slow and you cannot click to speed up the pace of conversation. I found myself hanging around a lot waiting for this part of the game and I don't think I speed read either. Also it gives you two game modes but the hard mode is really more for intermediate players. If you play a lot of HOGs you won't be using the hint button on this one. The mini games are quite simple but there are one or two new ones to keep you interested. Would I buy, I am undecided as yet having played the free mode. There are better games made but then there are a lot worse. I will probably use a coupon on this one but if I forget then I don't think I would have missed a fantastic game, just an average one. All the ingredient are there, but it just sees a bit undercooked!

I played this first time around and would suggest you play Siberia part one first as it continues an adventure. It took me a while to get to grips with the movement of the game but once I was in tune with the play it was wonderful. This is probably the only game in which I actually cared about the characters and even more, I wanted the adventure to continue. Please take the time to get used to moving around in the game as it will be worthwhile making the effort. This is my most memorable and most pleasurable series. Large files games can take a bit of getting used to and the graphics may seem a little awkward, but only at first. I do not hesitate in recommending it to you. Immerse yourself in the story and enjoy the journey it takes you on.
I recommend this game!

Not the best quality game but the fact it is so different makes up for that. Visual quality is limited (try before you buy) but sound quality is absolutely fine. Colour is a bit garish but you get used to it. There could be more depth to the graphics with a bit of work but I enjoyed playing it, you need to make your own mind up. At least wait until you are outside before deciding as it gets better as you go along. A lot of forward and back to pick things up, suggesting that more areas could have been developed but I still liked the concept. Made a change from the usual doom and gloom mad scientist, find the treasure and ghosts. Perhaps could have made more use of the robot help if the game makers had been more imaginative. The game cried out for an R2D2 in the game. With more development this could have been a fantastic game but it sure made for a change for me. More sci-fi please.
I recommend this game!

This is a must buy, I loved the storyline but it is not as near grisly as the title makes out. What is refreshing is that there is actually a storyline that you can follow. Its not the longest of games but then few CE really are. Not too many mini games either but you don't really miss them as you follow the story. Plenty cut scenes with good quality graphics and voice overs. I like the idea that you can at the very beginning customise your own degree of difficulty. I don't think you will be disappointed with this one. Even the so called bonus chapter fits in with a reverse story line, the bonus is very easy. No idea what the additional material is like as I never every look at it (waste of time). If the game had been a little longer it would have been perfect but don't let that put you off a good quality game.
I recommend this game!

one of the best value for money games around. Quality all the way through for puzzles, graphics, story and length. You will love it. Play at whatever level of expertise you have, change if you get stuck. This game will suit everyone.

strictly for kids is the only way to describe it. Some games can be fun for adults to play, this is not one of them. As I am not 5yrs old... I shall say no more.
I don't recommend this game.

played for 10 minutes and then deleted it. Found this game to be clumsy and not very well thought out. Not great quality graphics or movement and full of irritating text. Not very intuitive and certainly no excitement factor. Sorry but this is not the sort of game I would be interested in at all.

This reminded me of the Roads of Rome series but without the elegant finish. It was a very addictive game for me and I just had to replay twice to better my score. The text is a little annoying as you have to click each speech but the transition time is fast. Also, it would have been good to have had a grander finish at the end as that felt a bit deflating, when I finally got there. The length of play is very good as is the variety of each level. I don't often buy time management games but I enjoyed this one.
I recommend this game!

Excellent graphics, music and hidden object that are not easy to find. Puzzles not impossible and should hold your interest. Quirky but excellent play. Could have done with less directions in the expert mode. Oddball ending and I wish it had been a chapter or two longer to make it feel it had been truly worth buying. As usual game makers think we are interested in all the extra junk thrown in, when all we really want is a good game of reasonable length and originality. This is as close to I have come across for some time.
I recommend this game!

This was interesting to play, not difficult though even in expert mode, hints were too readily available also in expert mode. I like the story line and the graphics were good. The one draw back was the game length... way to short. It is one of those 'to be continued' games that game makers like to stretch into more than one episodes, annoying but there you go. Having said that I did enjoy playing, background music was quite good and the mini games were rather easy which probably sped up the overall play. Worth a try if you have a spare two or three hours but no more than that.
I recommend this game!
