Kidnapped pianist sister, hooded man, action takes place in France just after World War II. I wasn't grabbed at all by the game, found it easy to play but thought it lacked of something, what ?? Probably this little sparkle of "spirit" which makes you buy a game straight away after the demo. Good game but a bit dull for me. Don't think I'll buy the CE.
I recommend this game!

This is an amazing, beautiful, long game. Took me days to play it as it's not too easy, but so attractive. Gorgeous graphics, excellent story.
A GREAT, GRAND GAME
And Syberia II is just as good, we need more games like this one, for me, a real "chef d'oeuvre" in the game field.
I recommend this game!

Crazy scientist dealing with carnivorous plants on a deserted island, ship wreck and people landing on this island. Not sure about this game, quite enjoyable but way too easy, you use the items you find straight away. Might spend a punch card credit on it.

- 2 Game play modes, you can change from one to another while playing
- Notebook
- Tasks button
- MAP and you [b]CAN JUMP FROM ONE PLACE TO THE OTHER[/b], (sorry Valdy ;), . Spoiler, hightlight to read :[color=#ffffff] for that you must find a pair of sneakers in one of the rooms [/color]!
- Good voiceovers
- Good jazzy music which adds to the atmosphere
- H0 are clear, no junkpiles, always a +, you don't interact
- Hint button refills slowly even in easy mode
- Skip button as well
- Instructions, when there are some, not too clear for the mini games
- Notebook
- Tasks button

Good interesting story which brings you back to the thirties (?), nice old days "Hollywood" atmosphere, a lot of tasks to perform and places to visit. The only snag, for me, is that I can't get it wide screen and I hate the back bars on top and below the game. A very good game which I will most probably purchase.
I recommend this game!
