This review is from: Riddle of the Sphinx (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

ROTS was a very good puzzle game, for a mixture of easy and excruciatingly hard puzzles it does not disappoint... However, it drags on a little longer than a person can take, and many of the puzzles are dependant on inventory hunting (some of which is easy to find, and some that are not, like the sacred scroll, there is not clue for where it is, you just need dumb luck!) And the ending is incredibly anti-climactic for what the game built up... They could have made any ending better than a seven minute monologue! It leads into the next game yes, but I wanted a good ending for this game!!

I agree with the other reviewer- although this ending leads directly into game two, it is a bit anticlimactic after all the build up to the end.

The graphics are great and the game is lots of fun. I'm not very good at games like this so for me it had many hours worth of fun. There are some very hard puzzles and some not so hard puzzles so the range of puzzles was very good.

Enjoy.
