    Beautifully illustrated, hand-painted graphics combined with an entertainingly twisted plot makes this an eye-catching adventure to savor.

    The presentation of the game is spot-on and it's an interesting challenge for those hardened adventurers who prefer a who-dunnit puzzler to a comical romp in the park.

    Since it's fairly easy to find all the necessary objects, and you can safely talk to every character about almost every object, it's not much of a challenge to finish the game. There's only one storyline, one ending, and one mode of play (i.e. easy), so you're not likely to play the game through more than once.

    Absolutely gorgeous artwork. The music and sound effects all blend wonderfully with the scenes. The story is very interesting and the flow and pace of the game works extremely well. Sure it is a point and click, but a person should know this before going into it. If you don't like point and click games, then stay away. It isn't a pixel hunt game, all items you interact with are easily visible but you do need to investigate each scene and find out what you need to discover. I do so wish this game would come out again in 3d. It would be the first game I would probably buy before reading a review. Outstanding game experience.… Expand

    This is a classic in the Adventure gaming genre. It is one of the best adventures ever to be made, perhaps the best. Congratulations to Revolution Software, that was one of the rare companies that could compete with LucasArts/Sierra classics. #Perfection… Expand
