5.0 out of 5 stars Great game!, June 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: A Quiet Weekend In Capri (CD-ROM)

This game is great for the thinking minds. The logics are well-thought out and the game is surprisingly fun for a point and click adventure. You are given a vast amount of land to explore and occasional environmental objects to interact with. You meet (real Capri's) villagers once in a while. This gives the game a very nice touch and enhances the realism of the exploration. It was nice to include both English and Italian voices. The reason this game can disappoint is that in the beginning it's hard and a bit confusing. But once you get into the game it is very challenging and I really enjoyed it. Patience is the key with this game, if you are not the patient type this isn't the game for you. The concept is intriguing. Scenery of Capri is simply breathtaking. All through the game, you could feel playing the game. Overall, Capri is simple and organic, It's worth buying it for the scenery, logics and the surprisingly good non-linear game-play.

This review is from: A Quiet Weekend In Capri (CD-ROM)

A Quiet weekend in Capri is a very good graphical adventure. The world is composed of thousands of photographs and it is very pleasing to the eyes. The music is great and is, by itself, the atmosphere in this game. Great job on the sounds too. Some of the puzzles can be really hard. Some of them generate real satisfaction and are all very logical. If you get stuck, just look into a walkthrough to solve the problem and then continue without it. Most of the puzzles are simple and easy to solve. Talk to people, grab all the things you can, observe the scenery (which is gorgeous) and investigate the items in the inventory bag. Some of them look really weird! Although there is no pixel hunting, often you might to not to take notice of some important thing... so be careful! If you do like adventure games, this is a fine game for you!!

This review is from: A Quiet Weekend In Capri (CD-ROM)

There are many things that made this game special to me: pictures of a real place, immersive atmosphere and sounds, original story. You decide as a tourist to have a vacation in Capri. On the way to your hotel, the screen swirls, almost all the people disappear, and you find out that your hotel is closed. Now the locals recognise you as a local resident. They request you to run errands for them and tell you about various features of the island and its history. This premise for a game may seem boring until you learn that you ended up in a different dimension and you must go back to your world before it's too late. At this point the game becomes much more interesting. There are plenty of puzzles to solve, you find a lot of strange machinery. The conclusion of the game is great as all of the pieces fell into place. This is a first-person perspective game and each scene is a color digitized photograph of the real Capri. Overall this game has some flaws but it's a step in the right direction for more adventure games to come. I would recommend to anyone that has ever liked either an adventure game or Capri. I find this game very valuable for its educational value.
