Best Adventure Game I've Ever Played

I thought it was great! The graphics and plot were good. The main character's voice was a little annoying, but not too much. Most of the puzzles were relatively easy, except for a few here and there that made no sense. The ending was a little disappointing, but still worth it.

Overall, I'd say it was wonderful. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the second one.

Loved it!

This game has brought back my love for adventure games. The story is good (great even, by computer game standards). It keeps you engagend and you keep playing to see what happens next, and not just to solve the next puzzle.

The puzzles are fair. A bit on the easy side perhaps, but that allows you to progress at a resonable pace, so I count this as a positive. The interface is good too. In particular, I enjoyed the fature that allows to highlight all the clickable areas, which completely eliminates any pixel hunt. Well done!

Note: I played the German version of this. It has great voice acting. I am not sure whether that is the case in the English version or not (some reviews lead me to believe that it isn't as good).

Beautiful graphics, Annoying puzzles

The graphics and plot are super! The ambient sounds were pretty great too. The voice acting is poor and the inventory-based puzzle solutions are not intuitive at all. I had to resort to trying to combine any items randomly to solve just about any puzzle and I definitely checked the walkthrough and upon seeing the solution would think "how the heck would that solve the problem?" But I think it was still worth my money and time to get the game.

Interesting and Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this game in spite of its flaws and there were flaws. There were some problems with "pixel" hunts in just about every section of the game. In spite of that, the game was fairly well thought out and the graphics were really good. When I first started the game, I felt that Nina's voice was a tad juvenile sounding but as I began to find myself immersed in the game, her voice began to be realized as befitting her character--it seemed to suit her. The many characters in the game were varied and interesting. The puzzles were many and most were fairly logical and except for the "pixel hunts" were enjoyable to solve. Even so this is a really great game and I am looking forward to the sequel.

nice game, graphics, and all

the game is great fun, I dont know why pple are critesizing some things that are irrelevant to gameplay, (Nina's voice), I mean what next? the wardrobe? i've never heard someone saying he/she didnt like the characters's clothes, nor voices in an adventure game, and remember, not all game programmers, can afford to buy designer shoes for their characters. the graphics are great, music also, the puzzles are not that hard, but also not so easy, and they offer you the screen search help, which indicates with which objects you can interact in the scene, but, anyway, it is your option to use it or not, the game played great on Vista, although played on a Laptop (graphic card with shared memory), fast, not boring, in short it was a great game.

While the graphics might be good the puzzles are ridiculous with some completely illogical bordering on utter nonsense. Don't waste your money on this one!

There is so much wrong with this game, it's difficult to know where to start. First, the voices are out of sync with the the speakers' mouthing of the words. Second, the game is supposed to take place in Germany and Russia, but everyone has as Brooklyn accent. Third, the puzzles are lame unless you are about 10 years old. The story line is unrealistic and movments of the characters is shoddy...for example, the girl picks up a sheet of metal, but never goes near it, and of course, no matter the size, it disappears into inventory rather than her being encumbered by it. I was very disappointed, usually The Adventure Company puts out quality stuff. Not this one. Don't bother, go get a pizza or something instead.

What a wonderful game. A total surprise. I have to admit I do need hints now and then to help me through the game as with most games. I can hardly wait for the next one. It keeps you wanting more.

Entertaining, fun & no roadblocks

I liked this game a lot because it had a good game flow. This game was just difficult enough to make figuring it out satisfying but not so hard that I got frustrated. I recommend this game.

Fun game, despite the bizarre inventory

I have to admit I had to consult an on-line walkthrough for this game, more times than I had to for any other game, including Myst Revelation. Even with the walkthrough, I had problems applying the inventory items sometimes, but the story is fun, and in spite of, or maybe because of this, I enjoyed the game. Character movement is limited, the backgrounds tend to be static, but still very pretty.
