This game offers many strenghts but it does have few weaknesses. My final verdict is positive because I like new things. Someone else said: "Think of it as taking a vacation rather than playing an adventure game - an escape from your usual gaming trips". This description fits very well the game .
Cons:
- limited interaction with characters
- the beginning is quite confusing
- the interface is simple
Pro:
- very easy to use
- the storyline gets more and more interesting toward the end
- freedom to explore every single spot of the island
- the game runs well and has low system requirements
It's a start, let's give a chance

I like Capri the game. For me it has been entertaining. I am thinking of taking pictures of my own countryhouse and make a game out of it (just kidding). I miss some movies in the game. The interface is poor, all right, but that can be improved. I played in a 1440 x 900 screen and some objects were barely visible (sunglasses). All this could improve in Anacapri if the series goes on. I miss this type of game for other places, our own cities, where we can recognize the scenery and have a few laughs. The inhabitants of Capri must be thankfull to the people responsable for the game. I am sure one or two players are thinking of going and revisiting the scenery live. People that know Capri could have bought the game only to 'walk' through. The formula is fine with me and I expect further developments. Thank you guys.
Excellent Game

This is an excellent game. It has beautiful scenery and I enjoyed the actual people being woven into the fun, non-violent story line. Another interesting concept of this game is their use of the map to maneuver through the areas. I do wish there were more games like this that gives a tour of the area--this type of game is quite educational.
One suggestion I would make is that in future games the maps be a bit clearer. I found that I had to really get up close to the monitor in order to see the route names as the font was not that clear.
I do hope the sequel to this game comes along very soon!
A slow paced game

I have been looking for a good puzzle game to play. I decided to buy a copy of Capri. I found this game very intriguing. It has a Myst flavour, but puzzles sound somehow more realistic. If you like puzzle adventures you will surely like this game. Sometimes the game was a bit tiresome and repetitive but it was fine with me.I realize some folks may not be into the slow paced "exploration" style of gameplay, but if you want to learn more about Capri and like puzzle adventure games, this is the game for you. $20 are well worth it.

Very addicting! It is hard to solve at many parts. But overall the game is fun, challenging, and designed to make the gamers flex his/her brain power. One of my favorite games. Just do not expect amazing 3D graphics. 20 bucks are well worth it.
A little gem

I was skeptical when I heard about this game. An adventure game set in Capri? But this little gem has more than exceeded my expectations. Challenging, mind-stimulating puzzles set in a beautiful scenery... this game is not for people who can't deal with a challenge. The game play is fine but it has some flaws. Too much walking. But overall it's a breath of fresh air compared to other games!
Overall rate: 4/5
Immersive game.

I found this game much more immersive than most other games. Turn down the lights and you are in this Mediterranean paradise!
The environmental audio is immersive and the gameplay is captivating. I was noticing some cool sound effects (sounds that I don't think I've heard in other games). I was sceptical when I heard that Got Game was going to deliver a game set in Capri, but the game has more than exceeded my expectations. Some of the puzzles are rather wacky, but overall well designed. They are not too tough, so most people should be able to figure them out. The storyline of the game is a little strange but that doesn't really impact the fun you will have playing.
Cute game

It's a really cute game with a compelling story. I just didn't get into as much as others, but it's more a personal preference.
It actually brings new things to the genre. Although not quite as good as new releases such as Black Mirror, it comes in a close second. This game includes atmospheric soundtrack. Far better music than most computer games usually have.
If you are into adventure games, buy this game!!
Capri is challenging! And a bit off-beat

We like adventure games without much danger and this answered our needs. The touring of the island is very interesting - the maps are VERY small, though, so we had a lot of trouble reading the street names. Also some knowledge of spanish or italian is helpful, as the english is a bit rough (but charming). The puzzles were fun, but non-intuitive. I recommend this for several hours of escape!
Fun Fun Fun!

Finally a nice adventure game with real people inside.
I loved it.
There is no shooting either and no violence at all.
Once I installed it, I played it non stop for 5 days. I got stuck a few times and cheated (a walkthough is needed!).
Maybe not the best game ever but to me it was still all worth it.
