I played this game every chance I had since I opened the box. I actually didn't want the game to end. The dialogue between April and the other characters could, at times be extremely long. However, as the game unfolded I looked foreward to every interaction with April's...uh...friends. The puzzles were challenging indeed, but just another facet of the game, not the focus. All in all, extremely engaging and entertaining. Graphics excellent, interface easy to work with, gameplay and theme original. Mild adult language. Not suited for children. Highly recommendable for adult and older teens. Unique and refreshing adventure!

thoughtful & fun!~~!!

i loved this game, one of the best adventure games i have played, the puzzles are sometimes a bit hard, and i have to admit, i used a walkthrough for some of it, but the graphics and the character in general are very good. a good length game to took me several hrs to complete, the ending was a bit of a let down for me but over all very very good worth buying, and will look out for a sequel.

AWSOME

I never played an adventure game before this one and I just have to to say, I LOVE THIS GAME! You really get to know the characters and the world they live in to a HUGE extent. I found the dialouge to be very funny at times. This is the only game that has ever made me cry with joy.

Long but Good

I have played a lot of adventure games but this by far was the best! It has a futuristic setting and its based on the two worlds of Stark(our world) and Arcadia(and the magical world). The scenery is awesome and although the actual characters in the game aren't really the best there could be the graphics are good. Every aspect and every view of the storyline is detailed, they leave nothing out. Its also very funny at times and very serious also. In short its Great! By the end of the game you'll find yourself believing that somewhere out there is the world of Arcadia. Oh and I'm quoting GAMESPOT- "It's not that it leaves you unsatisfied it's that it leaves you wanting more." That is so true I can't wait for the rumored sequel.

Longest Journey was Great!

This was one of the best adventure/role playing games I ever played. You actually care about your main character and the story is engrossing, the graphics beautiful and the game is just a lot of fun! I played every day until I finished!

One Awesome Game

After the change in game programmers at Lucas Arts thought that I would never see another great adventure game. Boy, was I wrong. TLJ is one of the best games I have ever played! The graphics are beautiful, the music is captivating, and the puzzles are challenging.

When I first purchased this game I played it for several hours a day, every day, often staying up until sunrise. In TLJ you play April, an 18 year old art student who is trying to figure out who she is and what her world is. It is truly a metaphor for any person coming of age or figuring out who they are at any stage in their life!

The point and click interface makes it much easier to get around the game than fishing for keystrokes. The story itself is riveting and unfolds in unpredictable ways. The characters are witty and well rounded. The more you talk to them, the more you find out about them and they have very interesting personalities. Choices that you make affect how the game plays through but not the ultimate outcome.

I have recommended this game to everyone I know and they have all loved it. Be aware of the fact that you do need about 2 GB of free space on your hard drive to fully install the game but then you won't need the CD again for regular game play.

By this game now and prepare for the fun!

A Great Game

Clearly this game is one of the best adventure games out there. I've been reading a lot of the reviews, and I must say...people who gave this a bad review based on talking alone mustn't have read the manuel. I thought it was a bit much at times, too. However, if one were so inclined to read the pamplet, one might learn that notes on a conversation are taken, so that one might skip dialog and just read the notes, which gives one the hints without having to listen. Also, many people who give this game a bad review are missing the point of the game alltogther. The game creates a new world reallistically. It has some cursing, but as far as I'm concerned it isn't uneeded, but adds to the reallism of the game. For a genre that is surely in loll, this game gives justice to the point-and-click adventure game.

A Long, Linear Journey

I've been playing adventure/RPG type games since back with the orignal King's Quest. Prompted by the glorious reviews of gamers and magazines alike, I decided to pick up a copy. I was impressed with the game, but there were some bovious flaws.

The storyline moves slowly, which I didn't mind at all, but many of today's gamers will find this game meticulous to the point of boredom. Because the developers have you spend so much time learning about your quest (in fact, your still learning information up until the end), you are able to fully understand the depth of each character.

The graphics are fantastic, overall that is. The backgrounds, and the architecture of buildings is marvelous. The player models however, could use some definite work. From time to time, your character (April) will try to sit or lie down, and the motions are jerky, will the model dipping into the ground or other objects. The scinema sequences however, are quite possibly the best I have ever seen.

With this game being targeted at adults ( for strong language etc.), I would have expected much more difficult puzzles. Many "puzlles" simply mean paying attention when someone talks to you. And the few true puzzles you find, are mind-numbingly simple for anyone who has experience playing adventure games.

The actual game went along in an extremely linear fashion. While talking to AI character;s you do get a "choice" of what you say, but that choice amounts to nothing more than a preference as to the order of the questions. You are basically required (at one point or another) to ask every character, every question you can.

I appluad the effort and the graphics. The story was captivating and well-thought out. The gameplay was slightly too linear for my liking, and the puzzles just too simplistic. Often, it felt as though I was being led around by hand to whever I need to go. Also, the inability to die (April simply won't follow your command if it would kill you, or potentially stop you from beating the game) seemed unnecassry to me. While, I have had the experience of getting the the final battle in a game before and not being equipped correctly, I feel that the ability to choose your path, and learn from your mistakes makes the game much more enriching.

Despite the few character model flaws, and the small gameplay issues I have, I still enjoyed this game. It is the best adventure game in a LOOONG time, and I would recommend it to everyone from a first time gamer, to a very experienced puzzle master.

More than half of the time that I played this game was incredibly usless conversation. Instead of answering yes or no to a simple question people have to tell you their boring, and completely irelavent life story. This game could have been rated "E" but someone had to add about 5 million swears, which if I may add simply added to the long, boring conversation. To find anything useful in this game you have to go completely and utterly off track of the game. Some things were too hard too find eg. They expected you to throw bread on a rubber duckey so a seagull would pop it, find a clothes line, find your ring, get this stupid pointless machine to work, take something form the machine, blow up the rubber duckey once you find it after it pops, take off a band-aid on the rubber duckey, combine the duckey, with the pliars and clothes line, and lower it to get a key in some subway tracks that you use for two seconds later on. I'd give the backrounds a 7, the cinemas a 7, and the people in the game a 3. Overall an, atmost, okay buy.
