I really liked this game. Maybe it's just me, but I love the movie aspect of the game, interacting with real people instead of animations. Good story too! A good murder mystery.

Fantastic game!!! I really loved the plot. It was so complicated, i had to re-play it to "catch" the story. It's one of the best FMV's ever! Even my wife enjoyed it :0)
Special credits to the support team. Can't wait for the sequel!

Good FMV Detective Game

I absolutely loved the Tex Murphy series of FMV (Full Motion Video) games. And I love murder/detective/mystery stories. Conspiracies has all these elements. You are a PI and you need to solve the case. It has a good ending, with clear hints for a sequel (which I heard they're busy with). The puzzles was sometimes a bit difficult, but if you don't mind using a walkthrough, it doesn't matter too much. The inventory system could've been done better. A good hint is to try and throw things in the dustbin. If it works, you didn't need it. If not, keep it. Either on your apartment floor or in your limited inventory.
The acting wasn't too bad. Some characters were better than others. I liked the main character, Nick, but he wasn't dynamic enough.
The graphics isn't the best either, but the game was made a couple of years ago, so it's excusable.
I gave the game five stars for fun, because there's so little good, detective games, especially in the FMV format, out there. But I couldn't give it five for overall, because it's still not as good as the Tex Murphy series was (and those are nearly a decade old by now!).
If you like detective stories, you'll enjoy this. It's not CSI (which is way too easy and spoonfed clues to you). This is a true, detective, PI story. Enjoy!

I practically live on the computer with this type of game. I am not an expert but just someone who really loves solving mysteries and such. This was one of the worst games I have ever tried to play. I say tried because I never finished it. The dialogs between characters are pitiful and the movement and control of the character and objects is too complicated to make it fun. If you like a challenge then you might like this, but if you just like to have fun (like with CSI) then it's not worth it.

At last a great adventure game that lasts and its fun!

The story? great job.
The game is very interesting with a good plot and with a spice of different cultural elements.
The graphics are very detailed. And you can look and move in all directions, as for the videos I think that our friend "A gamer" didn't read the manual that says: you can skip them using left click.
The videos contribute in the game atmosphere, and they are fun. When I started playing it I was hooked!

Clunky interface and static controls make it very hard to get used to and persisitently frustrating. Interesting story, though (and if you like mystery, more the better). I like the video inter-weaving, but the 3d graphics, well (am I just spoiled by the likes of Halo and Max Payne?) truthfully leave something to be desired. The puzzles are way too hard for anyone to ever figure out on their own (I had to cheat, and I like a good challlenge, you know?). I'll bet this guy I know, Dave, could figure it out, he's a puzzle brain-iac...

Don't bother....

This game is, for the most part, a complete waste of time. Aside from the HORRIBLE dub job on the audio, the FMV sequences are rough, forced, and contrived...The 'puzzles' weren't so much puzzles as much as trial and error with the inventory items...Unless you get this game as either a gift or at a bargain basement price, don't waste your time and money...

Horrible game!

I decided not to listen to the previous reviewer that said that the cutscenes were the worst he'd ever seen and that the game was horrible and I wasted my money!!!! This game is the most horrible game ever and I have played many games and many games that were great and many games that were ok or nothing special. There is no way to bypass the lengthy movie in the beginning everytime you start to play in this "game", which is really a commercial for bayer or painkillers, it gave me such a headache. The cutscenes were choppy and obvious; anyone could have done a better job than that. They should receive an award for worst editing, worst voice acting, worst dubbing, worst acting, worst game ever. If you don't want to listen to reason, get it, waste your money and make them rich. I cannot convey to you how horrible this game is and amateurish and visually backward. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Conspiracies, one of the greatest adventures after Tex Murpy

This is the best FMV adventure I've played after Tex Murphy's Pandora's directive.
It's fun it has excelent puzzles, nice video sequences and I love the look of the main character Nick Delios!
The locations are great, they even put ancient Greek ruins on this game wow!
It has a very long gameplay and it worth playing every minute of it.
The graphics are great, the locations are fantastic and the music takes you in the play.
The story is very complicated and the plot is excelent and I think that this is the point that makes this game great.
I find this game realy worth buying and I hope they'll make a sequel.
