There are some frustrations with saves and puzzle implementation, but the game does have solid entertainment value.
If you've got the machine to run it, and the patience to endure some of its quirks, then this is definitely a game to check out.
Personally, I think 80 Days would have benefited from an extended beta-testing period. This would have definitely made them change the save system, and it would have probably removed most of the bugs too.
The gorgeous visuals and often-fun puzzles of 80 Days drown underneath the crushing weight of bad design; the poor controls, questionable physics, and repetitive (ad nauseum) elements all hinder what could have been a great gaming experience.
It may sport a literary pedigree, but 80 Days is little more than a clunky adventure game with a bad sense of humor and lots of bugs.
A whirlwind global tour for diehards... and a bumpy ride for everyone else. [Feb 2006, p.77]
If they developed this game with the younger audience in mind, then it's a pretty nice game, suited for such a target. If not, then it's a fiasco.
