This was a very good. The second best adventure game Ive ever played. Its good, but not as good as the Gabriel Knight series. The Knight games have a more intelligent story, with real mysteries, real places, many real people and many real historical facts. You solve the mysteries in a more realistic way. The fantasy and sci-fi setting in The Longest Journey isnt that compelling. But the graphics and athmosphere is wonderful, and it has a fun and good written story. Great places, nice characters, good dialogue(alot of dialogue) and much offensive language. I loved that, made it so much real. If the future of the world lies in your hands, who wouldnt swear? To summon up; The game lacks the plot and mystery of the Gabriel Knight games, but what makes it enjoyable is the nice graphics, great puzzles and a good detailed written story, in a sci-fi setting. Buy it!

Too much talking in this game!

Dont get me wrong. I LOVE adventure/puzzle games and have played so many that I have a bookshelf collection. This game is one fantastic story-line and the puzzles were great. I guess I just wish that She didnt take so long to run from one place to the other..example:when she is off the sub-way and headed to talk to the guy in the garage. And the talking..OMG..could we have done without so much useless information? I got so tired of listening to things that didnt matter to the game that I kept skipping over some of the characters talking...you can read what is being said and see if its neccessary to know. I think...this game would of been rated better in my book..if and only if..i didnt spend 1 hour playing and 2 hours listening to the characters hold useless conversations.

This game is nice, good puzzles and problem solving skills. The problem....too much TALKING....alot of what some of the characters have to say is purely BORING. Keep the dialoge direct and to the point the game would have been much better. Not one of their better games.

THE BEST GAME EVER

Apparently I have the DVD version of the game. When I got to the 13th chapter (which is the final) the disc went bad. I was very disappointed. I still haven't seen the ending and am afraid to buy another copy.

Its some sort of talking software.. or like a ex-girlfriend.

The game has some good graphics, decent animation. Mainly, this software is some sort of a dialogue-talking-software-something, I suppose this software could be considered a game, but this game sure talks, talks and talks. Theres not a whole lot of action, but theres a lot of long durations of dialogue. I did notice something about this game, the main character cannot be killed, even on purpose. In fact, other characters cannot be killed by April Ryan. Too bad. It would make the game more interesting and definitely add "more plot" twists. Imagine grabbing that guy thats waiting for the train and shoving him in front of it. Or letting that thing eat April for dinner. Or ripping off that paraplegic by stealing his hoverchair and riding off with it. That'd be cool. Well,..no action because its a talking game. I finished playing it. To me, this game has no replay value, because it will play the same dialogue again and again. No actual different choices or actions, the game will play exactly the same. Okay...

The graphics are great! Other than that, movement is boring and linear. No excitement. Puzzles are predictable.

I am an avid adventure game player. Never a fan of the "shoot 'em up" genre I long for good plots and challenging puzzles. I had heard good things about The Longest Journey. After playing for little more than an hour I realized something: This game has WAY too much dialogue. Yak yak yak all day long. Boring boring boring. If there is a good story here and an exciting adventure I'll never see it because this April character won't shut her yap.

slick but tedious

Having limited experience with current adventure games, my viewpoint may not be that of the average gamer. I found TLJ at first to be beautifully rendered and initially engaging. It didn't take long, though, to become disillusioned with the game. The pace is agonizingly slow. One spends long minutes just watching April trot around the sets. Many of the puzzles are really ludicrous - I wonder, for example, if anyone could ever figure out how to get the Key without several hints. And the dialogues should be shortened considerably. My patience has run out and I am shelving the game for now.
