Worth the price of admission for any adventure gamer

While this game is not truly perfect, it is atop its field. The graphics are as good as you will find in adventure gaming and actually look as good as most action titles. The problem this game faces is that by using a keyboard interface and streamlining the game, they limit the player to one inventory item at a time. This means that in many locations, you will do a lot of running around collecting items that could have been saved with even the most basic inventory system present in action titles.

Still the voice acting is decent and the soundtrack is the best on the market. Best yet the story will keep you engaged, though you may find there are some difficult moments in interpreting the story if you are not familiar with the Wagnerian Opera the title is based on.

Scratch your head, throw it in the garbage

I got this on the klunker shelf at EB Games, it was 4.99, and I feel as if 4.98 was just thrown in the garbage and I got my penny's worth.

Why do these people breath in space?

Why is there only three control buttons?

Why is there no inventory?

Why can't I change anything but the volume?

Why are there no hints?

Why is there no story line?

Why is there no manual?

Why do the controls work only 20% of the time?

Why does no one and nothing even hint at what to do next or how to do it?

Why am I trying to play this game?

This is not on par with Myst or even The Longest Journey.

This is certainly not on par with Lands of Lore or The Elder Scrolls.

And if you are into Dungeon Seige or Neverwinter Knights, you'll really hate this.

In fact, if anything but broken toys appeals to you, don't buy this.
