A solid adventure game... Just spare yourself and turn the volume off when you're playing Faust.
Although I found the game enjoyable and challenging (you'll have a jigsaw puzzle to solve -arghhhhhhh), the game does not present much in the innovation department, and the storyline is a little weak. But, hey, this is the real deal - a good solid adventure yarn, and I recommend it.

Dull and soulless. An effort in tedium.
