1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Copy of Timelapse, February 15, 2001
By 
Gadfly-in-Residence (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Riddle Of The Sphinx (Mac) (CD-ROM)
_Riddle of the Sphinx_ is a bad game. The clues are either silly or illogical - all culminating in an unoriginal and preachy Sunday school conclusion. I was very surprised that the credits immediately thank Jesus for his help in creating this EGYPTIAN setting from a JEWISH story. One would do much better to buy _Timelapse_, which is an interesting story, covering similar topics without the proselytizing. Throughout _Riddle of the Sphinx_ the player is seduced by the promise of visiting other locations. It fails here again, where _Timelapse_ succeeds beautifully.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment!!, October 18, 2001
This review is from: Riddle Of The Sphinx (Mac) (CD-ROM)
I bought this game shortly after seeing it listed on the top ten games of the year list. After buying this game however, I thought it should be on the worst ten games of the year list! Graphics are horrible, sound is crummy, and the plot line lacks anything interesting. After 1/2 an hour of playing the game, I decided it would be more interesting to go watch Barney with ny 4 year old nephew. It has not re-entered my cdrom drive since. You would be much better off buying Myst which, although more expensive, is so much more interesting than this!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot of there there, August 2, 2001
This review is from: Riddle Of The Sphinx (Mac) (CD-ROM)
A very ambitious game, but hard to navigate and harder to care about. Another of DreamCatcher's imports, and it loses a lot in translation, I fear.
