I don't want to sound like an extrimist, but this is literally the best game I've ever played. The story is extremely engaging, as I constantly found myself anxios to see what happens next. The graphics are superb, and the game engine is perfect! You can pan around in 360 degress. And as you turn, the sounds around you rotate accordingly. The worlds you travel to are brilliantly designed, each putting you in a different mood, somehow drawing you into the game (I know I sound looney when I say this, but this is true). You can also have conversations with characters, even assume their forms to get more info out of them. And there are more items to pick up then ever! In short, this is one game that you won't want to miss.

After recieving this game as a birthday present, I decided to try it out and see if it was any decent. Not oly was I blown away by the graphics and sound, but the incredible realism of the game itself made for an excellent time. When I started playing the game for the first time it was about 7p.m. and I didn't quit until well after midnight. Don't hesitate to get this one, or you will be sorry.
Love it after only playing the demo!

I have only played the demo, but I love it! I got a demo for it when I got Riven. I was only allowed into the potter's shop but the music and graphics and the way I was able to look all around was fantastic. I'm going to get the game and tell what I think of the real version. I know now though, it's a definite must-get!
Disappointment after Journeyman Project 2

While it was attractive to look at, with good music, I was really disappointed to find that I had to sit through a lot of religious mumbo-jumbo; most of which didn't really help solve puzzles. I did like the chameleon outfit, making choosing the right character part of progressing in the game. I would have also liked to see a longer puzzle-solving scene for the finale. JP2 was much better, in my opinion.
Everyone should have this game!

I am so glad that Amazon.com has copies of this game for purchase. I am buying 3 copies for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. There is no violence and the message is universal. It is an utter delight and an extremely enjoyable journey. The graphics are great, the music is good, and the interaction with the characters is almost real! I highly recommend it to Everyone, young and old! What other game can boast such a broad-based appeal?
Great Game

This game was a very pleasant experience. The plot line is excellent with its link to previous cultures of Atlantis & the Maya and the puzzles were challenging. Some of the puzzles (i.e. picking up certain objects) stretched across several worlds. The graphics were amazing & I find myself playing it again and discovering something new each time. Hope a sequel comes out soon.
Fun Searching

In general, it was fun playing this game. The best part was in playing different faces and searching for the right stuff to feed the statues. However, I found it boring to listen to all the "teaching" which was not essential to the game.
Interesting gameplay

Journeyman Project 3 was a wonderful game to play. The 3-D graphics were beautiful (DVD version), the movies interesting and the story was easy to understand. The mysteries were relatively easy to figure out without too much help. All the levels or time zones were interconnected which was a great feature. Another great feature was a tiny biot named Arthur who helped you through the game but only if you needed help. I plan to purchase the first two Journeyman games in the 3 game pack. The only problem I had with the game is it was too short.
"Legacy" of great storytelling

Without doubt, "Legacy of Time" is one of the very best adventure games I've ever played.
The graphics are stunning, especially in the DVD version. The puzzles are difficult enough to be challenging, but not so impossible as to put you off playing the game. Far from the uninhabited worlds that some adventure games offer, this has a varied cast of characters who need to be thoroughly investigated before puzzles can be answered. The game interface (you wear a 'chameleon suit' which allows you to steal the likeness of every person you meet) is so clever, you quickly become immersed in the process of interviewing the same person with each different 'face' in your inventory. Getting these varied perspectives on the unfolding story is a key to solving the final puzzles. This is perhaps the closest you'll come to being able to actually being the writer of a story and seeing it from the POV of all your major characters.
More than that, though, it's an excellent family value. While it can be played strictly for its adventures and puzzles (all of which rely on communication and investigative skills), an 'enhanced' mode can be turned on which give players a great history lesson about the three real life ancient cultures being explored here.
This is probably the only game I've ever played where I wanted to actually buy earlier members of the series so that I could see how the plot had deveoloped.
Pick it up now while it's cheap!
