If you are a patient person who loves to figure out tough puzzles then this is the game for you.

My boyfriend introduced the game to me and I was iffy about it. But once I began playing I became addicted! You can spend anywere between a half hour to 4 hours on a single board just trying to figure out the puzzles but you never notice. This game keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The puzzles are fun to figure out and the shooting is fun. The mutating creatures keep the game interesting as well as the story line. I never had a problem with the Game Save problem so I don't anything about that!

This game i not for children and certainly not for the impatient! But it's a great game otherwise!

Great Concept, poor execution

When I first started this game, I found it to be quite enjoyable, although there was one thing I found to be somewhat irritating. First off, since some problems can only be overcome by certain characters, they are practically immortal, respawning at set up points throughout the level. This removed all the challenge from the shooter aspect of the game, since you can't lose. Still, however, I found this game to be enjoyable.

Then I got to the third level. I understand (from the other reviews) that there is a "game save bug", which many people encountered at some point in the game. I found it at the end of level three. I would get to a certain point and, at about exactly the same place, it would freeze. I tried it six times, and even after cleaning the disc, it still froze at that spot. I've looked at the reviews to see what they had to say about it, which was restart. I have two words for that suggestion: heck no! As far as I know, it could freeze again on me in the tenth level, and I'm sick of the freezing already.

If you can put up with the grevious error which Edios left in their game, then have fun. Otherwise, leave this game for someone else to buy.

It has a major achilles heel. (a game save bug)

Overall, the game is fairly fun. Most puzzles can be solved with brute force hand/eye coordination or by coming up with clever solutions. I really liked the game at first because it did not have any tedious puzzles, but I found one truly horrific little puzzle on the "ground zero" level of the game that brains couldn't circumvent. It kind of ruined the game for me because it downgraded the game in my eyes, but so far those types of puzzles have been the exception and not the rule.

The major problem is that you better be willing to play the game at least one full act or more at a time (which is quite time consuming and makes the game tedious). The reason is that this game has a game save bug that pretty much forces you play an entire act at a time, while saving after entering each new level. If you research this game on the net, you'll find several confirmations of my diagnosis.

Overall, the game save bug and the fact that the puzzles are becoming less cerebral and more tedious as the game goes on, has lowered the rating of an otherwise excellent game in my eyes.

I'm sorry, you said WHAT?

We like puzzle games, problem solving games, multi-player games. This looked sooo promising. And then it hung. And hung. And hung again.

The advice we have received from the company is in essence "It's not our fault. You'll have to start over from the beginning of the game, or skip levels using cheat codes".

How'd this get past quality control? Maybe they just never play-tested it...

Exploration (puzzle) game

If wading thru enemies while holding down the triger on your BFG is your idea of fun then this game is NOT for you. If instead you prefer to use your brain and only occasionally defent yourself from attackers then you'll enjoy this title.

The game freezes up often

Minus one star for bugginess. I think the buggyness might be related to the game save code. So if it hangs on you a lot, you're better off just deleting all your saved games and starting from scratch. The game goes quickly once you know the puzzles. It might take a half hour to get through your first batch of missions. You'll be surprised how fun it is to actually start over again from scratch and rush through all the puzzles. I recommend you save only once you've completely finished your first batch of directives.

STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Project Eden is a puzzle game, which means you will either hate it, or love it do death. This is definately a kind of genre that you either love or hate to begin with.

The puzzles are tough, So tough that you probably wont be able to contain your verball abuse directed at the TV. I can say though that this game does have BEAUTIFUL graphics, everything is amazeing.

There isn't much to really say about the story, a group of policemen 2 men, 1 women and a robot go to investigate an explosion a artificial meat factory....andddd....the rest is for you to discover.

If you like puzzle games, buy this. If not, donot even bother.

best team action game ever made!

When I first tried the game, I was a little let down, because it almost seemed like there was no where to go...

Later on, I picked it back up and had my girlfriend join in. We spent about 3-6 hours on each mission, and finally made it through the other day.

I think it was one of the best multiplayer games I have ever played, and for the first time was a game that TRUELY challanged me. I have never spent so much time figuring out very small parts of a game before. Some parts seem like they are impossible, and sometimes it seems like you have tried everything, but trust me, you haven't.

So now that it is finished, my girlfriend and I are trying to find another multiplayer game we can get into like this one. Any suggestions? Anyone know about a sequel?

Anyway, I am not going to go into detail about the game itself, because you can figure that out... Just know it is a real challenge with great levels and puzzles.

Strongest points:

* Great gameplay... This game is a real challange, and the missions are very fun to go through. Once you get into the groove of the game, you can't stop

* Different character abilities... Working with a team of people instead of a single character is great. Each character has a different skill, and can be used for different situations.

* Multiplayer mode... Best multiplayer game I've played. Some parts would probably be a lot harder without two players. It was fun to go through the whole game with a partner.

* Cool toys... The game has really neat toys to play with, like the rover (a little rc car) for going into tight spaces, and a flying cam to go into even tighter places, and a centry gun which is awesome.

Reasons it didn't get 5 stars:

* [disappointing] story line... I felt no real connection to the stories or the characters... it was all about gameplay in this one. [disapppointing] movies between missions, and the ending was one of the worst ever

* little on the glitchy side... there were a few too many glitches in this game. In a few spots it actually froze up on me, so I recommend saving often. There are other spots where the characters get "trapped"

* too hard... there are some parts of the game that are so hard to figure out, it is rediculous. We spent 3 hours on one part only to figure out we somehow did half of the level backwards, and needed to go back to get to the end. Some buttons or switches are so hard to see or notice that you will be looking around for a week before you notice them.
