Beautiful travel brochure, not much game

This game makes use of a large number of pictures of the the very beautiful island of Capri. On the other hand, you can find many pictures of Capri on the Web, so I assume that you are looking for a game as well. I don't recommend this one. The game is a series of these pictures, with a fairly linear story. The story is rather incomprehensible at first, and then once you begin to figure it out, it still feels rather pedestrian rather than adventurous. You wander through the streets but actually only run into people on rare occasions. When they do talk to you, it is rather contrived and clunky, without any animation. You have rather limited choices of actions, but you are free to wander the island aimlessly. The map tool provided is not the easiest to read, the resolution isn't as high as it could be. We did not complete the game because we rapidly lost interest.

Primative and boring...

I awaited this game's release with great enthusiasm based on the reviews but upon installing couldn't believe the primitive interface and was actually shocked that the game was full of photos of Capri. Yes, photos; your interaction is with still photos of people, places and things. You must click, click, click photo after photo. And, good luck in finding the cursor to proceed; I had to move the cursor in circles around the screen trying to find the hotspot. I didn't even care to continue this game to find out if there was a story somewhere in the cobbled streets of Capri. I do hope this is not going to be the future of adventure games. Needless to say, I uninstalled this game and will be wary of buying any more games from GOT Game again.....

Easily the worst game you'll ever pay $20 for.

You remember the last time one of your friends had you over to look at the pictures from their vacation? Well, this is the video game equivalent.
A Quite Weekend In Capri is nothing more than thousands and thousands of rather lackluster photos that could have been taken by any amateur photographer. There really isn't any game here... at least not that I found during the hour of time I wasted.
If clicking endlessly through pictures is your idea of fun, this is the game for you. If you're looking for an immersive world similar to Myst, keep looking.
I can't believe this game is sold in major retail outlets.

the sorriest game

I purchased this game based upon everyone's review that praised it to be "a breath of fresh air" and "educational" and so forth. Well, I played the game all the way through and I must say it's different but not for the better. The game's graphic is strictly based upon nothing else but a collection of SNAP SHOTS of the island of Capri. These snap shots are beautiful, but not enchanting enough to base an entire game upon. This game may have worked if the game would have been developed with a 3D-panoramic view instead of the snap shots. In addition, with better maps to eliminate the annoyance of being lost and confused when wondering around.

By the way I am so sorry, "A gamer" for not listening to you. I have to agree with your review in saying that there is no reason for anyone to buy this game.

Pretty Pictures but...

If your looking for a point and click game with pretty pictures, this game would be for you. I was drawn to this game because the reviewers compared it to myst. Myst is so much better, a real game while this is like a slideshow with a few puzzles.

Utterly Terrible, Terribly Awful, Do Not Buy!!

Again, an interesting concept that just doesn't work well. This game is like looking at someone's lousy and boring photo collection of their trip to Capri. I sold this game back to a store for a fraction of what I paid for it. It really sucks. Another case of intriguing packaging hiding a very lame product. Oh well...live and learn!

Tedious . . .

To put together this game, the developers took a lot of digital photos of Capri. A lot of them. And it took a lot of their time and effort, and so they want to make sure you see them. Every last one. Over and over and over again. The interface is primitive, and in very many scenes, there is just one direction you can go. To get from one point to another takes enough clicking to give you carpal tunnel, and has the net effect of paging through a tourist brochure for Capri -- for hours. Thankfully, after a period of game play, you are provided with several jump points to shorten your journeys.

The developers were very proud of their music, which is bland. They include an extra CD of the music for their game. There is a button you can press to turn off the music . . . but the music will start back up simultaneously.

The game is non-linear, but much of it involves running to and fro. Many puzzles are simply carrying objects from point A to point B. The entire thing is so tedious that after a few days of play, I uninstalled it.

Horrible!

If it weren't for Conspiracies, this game might be the worst game ever made. They're both pretty lousy.
