4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best search and explore games, September 17, 2000

This review is from: Riven: The Sequel To Myst (Video Game)

Back in 1993, a little game called Myst appeared. Everyone went crazy for it -- it featured amazing graphics, addicting search and explore gameplay, and it was actually educational. A main part of the game was reading, so it figures that many parents were so supportive of it. It was also, though, terribly spooky at times. You could be anywhere in the world of Myst and still feel a general sense of... well, spookiness.

But Myst was in 1993 -- and even though it held well throughout several years (which is amazingly good), it started to be noticed more as a classic than current technology.

So how well can "Riven: The Sequel To Myst" hold up against "current technology" and the original classic? By simply making the adventure more intresting, more long, and with more "spookiness" -- an original Myst-cliche that adds drama to the game.

"Riven" is even more rewarding than "Myst" so much to the fact that it is sometimes speechless. There's five CDs to the game -- that's clearly enough for anyone to buy this game. Even as it starts out, you better look for clues. The developers made it so that if you do not look for enough information, you could go from one disc to another in less than 20 minutes.

The graphics, while nice, aren't the best in the world. Even the control (using the Playstation controller) is sometimes sticky. But believe me, you'll get used to it.

It's definetly worth a buy from any fans of the "Myst" era.

4.0 out of 5 stars Myst-Riven-Exile, August 10, 2001

First if you are a myst fan then Riven is a must-have. Riven the sequel to myst easily lives up to its name. The graphics are magnificiant for playstation although it may be sticky at times.

Riven is a thinking puzzling game if you like to be confused to the point you dont know what to do then it hits you and you know what you have to do this was made for you. Riven is a five disk game and its length mainly depends on how fast you can put things together, so dont be intimidated by the 5 disks. Althought Riven is the sequel to myst you can play it without playin myst first. I would suggest playing Myst first thought to learn the storyline. But if you havent played Myst, Riven is still a game that is worth having.

See if you can solve the puzzle......

This review is from: Riven: The Sequel To Myst (Video Game)

Except for having to switch discs all the time!!! I know it's a fact that this game was so big, you had to swap discs, that's the only reason I didn't give it a 5!!! Other than that the game is completely immersive. It puts you right in the world of Riven. This game inspired me to purchase Myst. Part I in the series. I hope that they make more of these games for the Playstation 2 and 3 coming out. Myst III: Exile was the last game to be ported on the Playstation 2. Come on Cyan, put more out for the Playstations!!
