I cannot get past the first scene because the main character moves around in real slow motion. It's terrible. It takes her a minute to "run" across the room which is not very big at all.
I don't know what's wrong with this game but I know it's not my computer. There are 3 different ways to install it and I've tried all 3. I tried changing the setting and everything. I cannot get it to play right. I would not recommend this game.

There was no help or key to go along the game. Once you got stuck the game was over.
Dreamcatcher does it again!

They again have created a game with great graphics, great music & sound, and a solid storyline all for an affordable price. This is probably more like a 9 stars out of 10 game (I just couldn't bring myself to only give this a 4), but this adventure is uite awesome. I only have a few complaints. One, you have a cell phone that only helps you 2 or 3 times throughout the game. You get all of these calls and it is nothing but a bunch of annoying gibberish. Two, the story starts to fade the deeper you get into the game until you get closer to the end. And 3, some of the things are repititious and that gets annoying (though this is typical of most puzzle games).
The places you visit are just awesome. Everything is done in high detail and the cutscenes are very well done (the same software used to make Diablo & Warcraft III's cutscenes is used for this game). The sound effects are so real and the music sets the tone for every place you visit. The only other complaint I have are that the puzzles weren't very hard. Everything you find in the game becomes pretty obvious as to where you will use it. The only suggestion I have is to make sure you look at every area or you just my miss something. They seem to like to have alot of activity going on in a room just to distract you from finding an object that you will need to continue. The ending left a little something to be desired, but from what I have read on some gaming sites, a sequel to this game is already on the works. After you beat this game, you can gon back and watch all of the cutscenes over and over again if you want.
This game is no doubt worth the time and the money and it is a very large world with many things to look at and many things to do and many many hours of gameplaying fun. Good luck on your adventure.
played non stop

Finally a nice adventure game that's in 3rd person. I love it.
I lvoe adventure games like this, but don't like being in 1st person, I get too much into the game it makes me dizzy.
And NO shooting either. GREAT....
Once I installed it, I pretty much played it non stop for 3 days. besides from sleeping :)
I must say I got stuck a few times and cheated, but to me it was still all worth it. Now I want to find more games like this.
Wonderful Game to Play

Good adventure game. Graphics are fantastic. I was only disapointed that the game ended. Would have loved to have had more game time, seemed a little short. (I guess I was spoiled from Longest Journey)Definately worth playing.

This game is a must get for Adventure Game Fans because it is the best game of its type in a long time. As you would know if you are are a Adventure Game doer, there are not very many of them made any more because to many bad ones spoiled it for the rest. So, get this game because it is very, very good.
SUPERB!

Amazing, fun and creative. Syberia is one of the best games that i have bought. You have some very challenging puzzles to solve and some very amazing graphics. If you are looking for a fun and very interesting game....BUY SYBERIA!
Good premise, poor execution

I really liked the premise of this game. I am not a videogame afficionado, I have only played a "Monkey Island" game before this, so admittedly I don't have a lot to compare it to. I like logic puzzles and good stories. This game had lots of puzzles, some of which weren't too logical, but I could overlook that with some online help. The scenery was great! Unfortunately that wasn't enough to make me overlook the very unexpected letdown of an ending and the wimpy female characterization, as well as the trite script and uneven emotional tone in the conversations. I was really expecting a lot from this game based on the synopsis, and the game delivered in scenery, but fell a little short in characterization and storyline.
This game had me at hello!

Wow, all I can say is wow. From the musical score, to the graphics, to the story it told, Syberia was a great old-fashioned adventure game. The characters were charming and the cut scenes were amazing, inspiring more and more play.
The only negative comment I have is that sometimes I just had to go to the walk throughs. Some of the puzzles just weren't intuitive, but then again playing it all day and night probably had something to do with that also.
