Not a real adventure game

I really like Adventure games. But this is not really it. Those of you who remember the old interactive movie games, will know how Dreamfall plays. It has a really good story to it, though, and that is its most redeeming quality. Very sub par game, and not a proper sequel to The Longest Journey, and I marvel at the awards it got last year. Worth 20 bucks or so...but not much more. Few puzzles, little combat, or gameplay. Mostly you spend the ENTIRE game going from 1 person to another and talking...and talking...and talking. Occasional item crafting, but again, you spend the game going from point to point and talking.
If you really want to see the Longest Journey's story progress, you can get it. But there are better adventure titles out there for you.
Well.....

My expectation for this game was great...my disepointment was greater.
The story is great til the ending, you are left with so many questions, that you don't understand what just happaned.
What happaned to the dragon?
Who was the hodded man?
What is happaning to the worlds?
And what in the 9 hells was up with that CAT????
these are only a few of the questions you are left with.
Dont get me wrong, the game is amazing, the graphic is unbeliveble, and you start to care about the characters.
The controls are a little difficult to get used to, but you will get it in your fingers eventually.
Good luck!!

I was entertained by the game but it was not as interactive as I thought it would be.
Not for the uncoordinated

Okay, everybody's talked about the poor interface. Buy a gamepad. But do not buy this game if you aren't very coordinated. There are several sequences I had to play over and over (even with a gamepad) because I'm not the most coordinated guy. Very frustrating.
Have you watched Dreamfall?

This is less like a game and more like a movie that you have to click around a few times on to get the next scene. There were hardly any puzzles and the cut scenes were too long. I LOVED the first Longest Journey and this one is a great disappointment. Add in political preachiness and you get a game that generally falls flat. The graphics are beautiful, though!
Ragnar Tornquist does it again!

This game continues the wonderous story of the Longest Journey and once again enthralls you with a vivid storyline and characters that you actually care about. The only thing I would complain about is the awkward camera system. Other than that, it is an absolute masterpiece from visuals, to music, to gameplay to story.
Be wary of the copy protection.

I am unable to actually write a review of the game (and required to give at least one star, as that's the way Amazon reviews are set up), because I have yet to be able to get it to run. And no, the problem is not that my computer isn't up to spec.
The problem is that I'm running a virtual drive on my machine that enables me to run other software more conveniently.
Both the software for the virtual drive and the software I run on it are legally purchased. I am not trying to install Dreamfall on the virtual drive--I'm certainly OK with the requirement that I have the original game disk in the CD drive in order to play.
The nasty bit of this copy protection scheme is that I will be required to remove other software from my computer before I can play the game. Essentially, if I want to keep my current configuration, this company has stolen my money.
Wonderful

Loved this game. The game is really all about the story, and it's a wonderful story. I also loved the first The Longest Journey title. Be aware though that this it's a different but still amazing play.
Beware if intending to play on laptop without game controller!

I purchased this game because I loved the original The Longest Journey. The story and graphics are great, but I hate the PC laptop interface using the keyboard and/or touch pad. Within the first few minutes, I almost stopped playing, the user control is awful! But the story is engrossing and I did eventually get used to the PC controls. Also, I do not like the fighting (the original did not have it) and I do not like the changing of characters. However, I am still playing because I like the story so much. I understand that a game controller makes the user interface much better - but who wants to lug that around with the laptop. Besides, I don't intend to play any more games requiring it.
Amazing
