5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, December 17, 2004

This is actually one of the best games I've ever played, and I'm very lazy, so the fact that I would bother to write a recommendation should impress you :-)! The best thing about the plot is that it is multi-dimensional, literally. The action isn't limited to one time period, and I enjoyed getting to see the Louvre as it must have been centuries ago. The puzzles and game interaction aren't too easy or difficult (I did have to go online for hints every now and then), but seemed to be just right. I've handed the game around to several friends, and they loved it as much as I did.
One thing I really liked is the climactic end. Too often I play long games (like 7 games of the soul) and find endings that fizz more often than bang. Not here. It's just right and made me feel like the hours I spent playing it accomplished something
[which--in reality--wasn't true, I guess].

I enjoyed this game, but it did have a few flaws that were annoying. For instance, some of the characters you had to interact with were hard to understand and you couldn't always get them to repeat themselves. I missed out on some hints that way, and had to go online to find out what I missed. It wasn't my speakers, as I've never had this problem before. Also didn't like that you were more or less forced to do things in a certain order rather than exploring and solving puzzles on your own. Not a bad game overall, but I've played better.
