Amerzone is fun..

Amerzone is fun, but there are times that you need to go back and forth, back and forth, to accomplish a task. That may get old to some people, but for the most of it, the game is easy enough to not need hints, and hard enough to keep you up all night playing.

great music and graphics

This game has really good graphics and great music.The animal noises such as the bees,the frogs and jungle birds are awesome.I rate it about average compared to other games.It is not as hard as necronomicon and several others.It is still fairly challenging however.

A disappointing adventure

While the graphics and visuals were extremely good the adventure part was totally lacking of any serious challenge. The story line has some excellent potential but the developers failed to capitalize or recognize this. What could have been an adventure to rival Myst or Riven, failed miserably. 'A' for graphics and visuals, 'A' for story line and 'F' for adventure and puzzles.

Disapointed

Yes, it's spooky, but the game is so old that the actual game size on my screen is about 3 x 4 inches. Yuck. Don't bother with this one.

Pretty Good but not up to Syberia

I got Amerazone because I was crazy about the Syberia games. This one is ok, but the game itself is a bit choppy and the puzzles a bit more obtuse (especially getting the flying machine to work, which I could not do without numerous hints). You also play in first person, rather than third, so you can't hear yourself speak (none of that snappy Syberia dialoge), and the game is quite linear. The story is interesting, but I had trouble getting into the game in the beginning. However, when I went back to it I'll admit it did get better. I'm just hoping Sokol makes a new one along the lines of Syberia.

Fun, but short and morbid

Amerzone was a very fun game- don't get me wrong. It has beautiful graphics and puzzles that aren't easy enough to offend you and not so hard you scream. Really, though, it was short, only a couple hours at best, and their are too many irrelevent bits of information and places that you could spend hours wandering even though there isn't anything important there. The voice acting isn't too great- I could only identify two different voice types for the whole thing- foreign and old. People also have a very annoying tendency to die right after you finish talking to them- 3 out of 4 people that you talk to do. The conversations are totally one sided- you yourself never get to talk. It's worth what you pay for it, but nothing special.

A fantastic voyage!

I enjoyed going through this adventure as I enjoyed every single Jules Vernes book I read. Do not expect amazing animation (although they are pretty good) or complicated puzzles. THis is a trip into the imagination of the author. Recommended!

Loved it! Loved the beauty!

A bit difficult at times and I used a walkthrough.
But this game is a must for the pc gamer. Not to be missed.
More specifics seemed to be already described.
There are scenes of such beauty that I still recall!
A+++++

Awesome game

Amerzone is a really engaging game. If you liked Syberia, Longest Journey, Myst, etc. and want to play another game in the same vein, try this one.

The storyline is interesting and the tasks are fun, although not very challenging. The "puzzles" consist of having and using the proper inventory items and they are pretty logical so you won't have to consult a walkthrough, and pixel-hunting is minimal. The only drawback was really that the graphics aren't up to par with those in more current game, so it is a bit distracting at times. The video cut-scenes are really pixelated, but obviously the game was made a while back so the graphics won't be like those you'll see in more current games. Otherwise, the surroundings and artwork are very beautiful and interesting. The game goes by really quickly (my boyfriend and I finished it after playing it a few hours for 3 or 4 nights). I gave it less stars due to how short it was. I think this game would be perfect for someone new to adventure games.

Pros: Logical and engaging tasks, little pixel-hunting, beautiful artwork

Cons: Extremely short, pixelated graphics, puzzles not very challenging

Disappointing

My husband and I were disappointed in this game. We waited for two months while we built a new computer to play this game (for optimal game play and graphics). Although the graphics were outstanding, the game was simple. Unlike Riven and Myst, the game tells you when a clue is needed by changing the arrow to a hand or gears. So simple, our seven year old can play it. We finished this game in just 2 hours. What a waste.
