OK this is a realy cool game. I played it at the same time as my sister on difrent computters. If we needed help we would look to the other( a very good idea). The game it self has a ok story line. It gets addicting. I would some times sit in bed thinking about it. It isnt the hardes game ( like MYst or rivin) YOU CAN ACTUALY SOLVE THE PUZZELS. I VERY MUCH recamend this game. Others are THE FORGOTTEN , THE BEAST WITH IN, MYST ALL FUN ( MYST IS VERY VERY VERY VERY HARD) TRY SANITARUM. THANKS STAY COOL , ROCK ON , DEVIN WATSON

Very addictive game. Hours of play as nothing is easy. Interesting use of different timezones for one location. Not quite as unfocused as Riven as you know what you are trying to find, but just as much requirement to look into every nook and cranny. Puzzles come in different formats, including some very complex ones. Highly recommended.

This game is great. It's addictive. The puzzles are not impossible to solve if you are patient. BUT the game freezes extremely easily so SAVE SAVE SAVE every 2 minutes SAVE. If you have the patience this can be a very very enjoyable game. Just emember SAVE!!!
Got up early every day to play some more!

What a blast! An adventure game with a female hero, a decent plot, costume drama (you visit several time periods), and challenging but solvable puzzles.
This would be a great gift for a young adult or teenage girl on your holiday gift list.
Very dull

The graphics are quite dull, the plot is dull, and for the most part, you are alone throughout the game. It was worth the $10 I paid but I'm glad I didn't spend more on it.
A fabulously fun game!!

This was an absolutely enjoyable game all the way!! The graphics were absolutely marvelous, it had a plausible story line, and lots of puzzles which were not absolutely mind-boggling. The really neat thing with this one was the way the time travelling was treated, by moving forward a period of time but remaining in the same geographical location. I found it an absolutely interesting piece just from the architectural angle and the time zones covered. The puzzles were well done and in keeping with the periods of time being dealt with as well as in keeping with the story line. I have had this game just since Christmas and already I am on my third time through--just looking at the sights and being amazed. I hope you enjoy it!

Violent, with timed puzzles

Games in this genre are not normally violent, but the main character in "The Messenger", one Morgana Sinclair, is as bloodthirsty as they come. To win this game, you'll assassinate three people from ambush, in cold blood, and poison half a dozen or so more.
The animation in the cut scenes is clumsy and badly drawn, and there are several timed puzzles, all sprung on you by surprise and all fatal. Hope you happened to save the game recently...
The ending manages to be anticlimactic, disappointingly easy, unsatisfying and banal, all at once.
This game is set in the Louvre museum, though you don't get to see most of the museum itself, nor its exhibits. You may learn a little about its history, though this would be an accident with no real relevance to the story.
The puzzles were reasonably clever, but not enough to make up for the rest of the game's shortcomings. Its one saving grace is that it's very cheap. Buy only if you're addicted to the genre, and don't expect much. Except violence.
Good Puzzles , Good graphics with an English heroine

This game has really nice graphics. The Louvre is an interesting setting for your adventures, which are in many different centuries. This is a point and click game with difficult to solve puzzles. The English heroine wears warrior like attire and is trying to save the Earth from evil villians, who are always a step ahead. There is very little violence in this game and it's not bloody at all. It's a fun game. The plot could be a little more developed as well as the star character.
Needs sequel of some sort!!!
