4.0 out of 5 stars Tough puzzles, creepy atmosphere--great game!, April 21, 2000

This is the sequel to the blockbuster adventure-puzzle game, 7th Guest. You're back in the mansion, trying to find your friend. Not only are there more fiendish puzzles to solve, but there are also riddles to unravel as well. Both will either open up more of the house, or provide further video clips, pushing the story forward. I loved the fact that I could take a break from the (sometimes insanely hard) puzzles and work on the riddles, and still progress in the game.

This is a mature game--no swearing, but lots of disturbing imagery and some risque moments--nothing beyond PG-13 though. It's very similar in style to the first game, with some improvements (the sound isn't so faint, for starters), and the story is fantastic. And Stauf is as evil--and sly--as ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC GAME--waiting for others to catch up., August 10, 2000

This review is from: 11th Hour (CD-ROM)

7th Guest confused me a little. 11-Hour offers hints or even solves if you get stuck on a puzzle along the way. Why some folks are having trouble with configurations, I don't know. Perhaps after you have played a few Sierra games, I should considered myself an advanced programmer? *L*

THE GAME: You are a celibrity pit against a demonic toymaker named Stauf to save your producer-boss. When you enter his realm, the house, Stauf starts feeding you clues. But clues never come free. You have to earn them. In most cases, Stauf will be laughing at you--even stabbing with cute sarcastic statements.

If you are looking for a puzzle game, this one's for you. 11hour is filled with puzzles. In fact, when you eventually finish the Strategy game, you can go back and play the other puzzles that you enjoyed. Finishing 11-Hour will take some time. There are three endings to this game. Be sure to save under multiple names along the way.

If you are looking for 3-D shoot em up, this is not for you.

I hope they create a sequel or at least a similar quality product. So many out there are high-tech but no dazzle.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first, May 30, 2000

This review is from: 11th Hour (CD-ROM)

The sequel to 7th Guest, 11th hour turns what was sort of a fairy tale horror story (like Frankenstein) into something much more 'gritty' and adult. I was very dissapointed. Issues such as rape, mutilation, and lots of gore are brought up in this game and all of the psychological horror of the previous game (which is what made it such a ball for me to play) has been forgotten.

The plot goes along and you're a reporter seeking his friend who is trapped in the mansion of Stauf. A lot of things from the previous game were ignored... in 7th guest the mansion ws up on a high rocky hill and in 11th hour its now in a grassy lot with an iron fence around it.

I didn't like the fact that they decided to make such a unique concept into something more 'adult and gritty', and as I progressed through the storyline I began to pretty much hate everyone in the game character wise. Aren't you supposed to want to save people?

On a technical aspect, the folks that have re-released this game have done nothing to update the software at all and there is a very high likleyhood that this won't run on your machine. My copy decided to install a little shareware VGA driver on my computer without my permission and it was an annoyance to get rid of.

Overall, the dissapointing story and software problems made this game not worth the money, even at the reasonable price being offered for it.
