    The framerate suffers in the conversion, but the solid puzzles and great soundtrack stay true to the computer release. [Oct 2002, p.84]

    Decent graphics and superb sound put you right in the middle of an engaging story (which stems all the way from the first Myst), but the horrendous and continuing loading issues will have you severely distracted.

    Well I loved playing Myst and Riven so its no surprise that I enjoyed this game. Sure its not action packed or amazingly fluent, but the involving story, creative worlds, and challenging puzzles make for a solid game. If you loved the first two you'll love this one. Otherwise RENT IT FIRST. … Expand
