Traitor's Gate is an excellent challenge! I have played everything from Myst and Riven, Beyond Atlantis, two of the Journeymen Project, and most recently, The Longest Journey. Traitor's Gate is most deffinitly among my top favorite games. The story line is original, well thought, and interesting. The puzzles are challenging but don't leave you completely lost. The screen interaction is easy and visual friendly. Traitor's Gate is a great game that I would recommend to anyone looking to use some brain power and have fun.

Fun, but not spectacular

Five stars would be too much for this game. Sure, if you like walking through dark sewers and corridors, this is your game, but overall I found the surroundings quite dull. Nothing like the dreamy landscapes like Myst, or even the eerie cityscapes in The Longest Journey. Not the haunting atmosphere of Journeyman, just corridors, chambers en sewers. As a secret agent you must replace the crown jewels in the Tower of London, and, well, the tower is a castle with lots of corridors, as it seems. Gameplay is very straightforward and easy. Definitely print yourself a map of the sewersystem, to save yourself endless wandering around - not funny at all. Don't consider this cheating, because this is just a not well thought-out part of the game. So overall, this is not the worst game in this genre, it's funny for couple of days, but definitely not in the same category as Myst, Journeyman, Fandango or some of the other highflyers. So, if you can get it at a cutprice, buy it. If not, don't get your expectations to high up.

Traitors Gate is one of the best adventure games ever. You are a secret agent who is called Raven. You must replace the British Crown Jewels with replicas that have tracking devices which will let the CIA know where someone who is going to steal them will be. One of the first things you will notice about this game are the graphics and how great they are. They look almost real. Another thing is the sound is great. This is like Myst in those departments, except better. Another thing is how realistic this game is, but that can lead to fustration.But the puzzles are mostly fun. You have many items at your disposal, and many more lying around the tower, but most of them are rarely used. Also, there is no fighting, just knocking out gards with darts. If they see you, you are immediately arrested or killed. There is also very little replay value. Also, this is a game of logic, not creativity. The good aspects outweigh the bad, however. It may seem I talked alot about the bad parts, but I was nitpicking for the bad and generalizing for the good. Traitors Gate can be hours of fun or fustration, but it is worth your money.

Turned my Mouse into a Traitor

My biggest complaint about this game is the totally abysmal mouse movement. I found myself wanting to throw it at the screen, so lousy is the navigation. This game is the winner of the worst navigation plan ever conceived. I give it the Golden Blind Mice Award, only given to games that cannot figure out how to illustrate to the player any visual clues to where they are supposed to go without a cane. Even with one, you will be "tapping" your mouse so frequently without any results that you might as well put on tap shoes and dance across the keyboard waiting for something to happen. The PDA console takes up too much of the screen, the inventory methods are sloppy. This is an awful game.

Avoid this game like the plague.

Seriously. I bought it because I was curious how it would play.
Badly is the answer. It is a first person perspective game, however Doom had better interaction than this. You basically find that the entire interface consists of clicking on the correct location on the screen. The program then switches to a quicktime movie of you moving into the new location (including opening doors, turning to one side to look for guards, etc.) and deposits you in the new location. You can then pick your next location. In fairness it uses the quicktime 3D view stuff so you can turn 360^ to find new locations to click on, but I've seen web sites selling apartments where you can do that...

In summary this would be fine as a free game on a web site, but it is so un-interactive its more like working with a spreadsheet than playing a game. It might be good for someone who wanted to create a half-life/quake map of the Tower of London, but otherwise avoid it.
