  1. It is a masterwork when viewed as an exemplar of the video game as art, one of the very best fusions of story and imagery extant in the medium today, and for that reason alone it deserves a place in the eventual Electronic Entertainment Hall of Fame.

    It didn't simply meander to the finishing line, but stayed strong and surprising. Like the final part of "The Lord of the Rings," the completion of the journey of Hans and Kate deserves the highest marks.

    As the sequel to the excellent Syberia, it is quite disappointing. The story is too segmented to be enjoyable, the puzzles are not as rewarding as in the first part and most importantly, the game fails to elicit the same kind of emotional response from the player that its predecessor did.

    A well-crafted sequel to the much lauded Syberia, adventure fans will delight in this gem of a game. Great artwork, solid story, and likeable characters. Is it innovative? Does it break new ground in the adventure genre? Does it take risks? Is it memorable? Exciting even? Not really. I'd give a 7.5 if I could. Expand
