The bad dialogue took away for the otherwise sold Egyptian feel to the title.
While the story is certainly on the light side and the sound is kind of weak, the gameplay and the puzzles more than make up for it.
This is a nice enough game for adventure enthusiasts who are looking for an inexpensive game with lots of puzzles. The Egyptian setting is nicely done, too. A longer game time, plus more Egyptian history, would have been a good addition.
In some ways, Cleopatra: Riddle of the Tomb feels like a family-friendly, casual version of an adventure game. It's engaging, it's simple, and it's short, and it has a premise that's easy to identify with.
This Cleopatra is no legendary beauty, but it is an adventure that will appeal to genre fans. [Sept 2008, p.69]
Still, as I indicated above, Riddle is a nice little game (much less than 10 hours long) but not at a first-tier level. It's too short, too easy, and too lifeless. Like Secrets of Da Vinci (a better game), it emphasizes puzzles over people contact.
If you do finish Riddle of the Tomb, you won't be drawn back into the story by an interesting denouement. Like the rest of the game, it splutters and fades, leaving you cold and bored.
