5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for adventure game fans!, July 21, 2005

By	Mary (Germany) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

The Moment of Silence is a classic adventure game. 'Classic' meaning for me, believable characters, gorgeous graphics, logically implemented and solvable puzzles (which recommends the game to both practised adventure gamers and beginners) and above all a great and intriguiging story which makes you ponder whether something like that could be more than fiction. And believe me, you will remember this game every time when reading news about privacy and security issues in our everday life. Although the story is set in 2044 the reality created is tangible already. So if you enjoy books like '1984', 'Fahrenheit 451' etc. 'Moment of Silence' will be right up your alley. The story unfolds while you slip into the role of Peter Wright and slowly discover that the world you live in is not at all what you thought it was. This game has got all it would take to become a great movie.

I also think the 'reminiscence to The Longest Journey' which is my favourite game is a tad misleading. If you expect a fantasy story set in the future with mythical creatures and magic you will be disappointed. But if you expect a hero you can identify with, beautiful and detailed graphics, a soundtrack you'll want to listen to long after the game is over, good voice-acting and dialogues which do not only help solving the puzzles but add more depth to the story - then what are you waiting for? Grab it and get started - you won't leave your computer until you helped Peter Wright solve the mystery of his neighbour's disappearance. At least I didn't and I liked this game so much that after I played the german version I later also played the english one just because I wanted to see for myself whether the quality of the latter matches the original - and it does! :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Moment of Silence by Sara, March 15, 2006

By	Sara Louise - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

Moment of Silence played on my Windows XP, Radeon 9600, Sound Blaster Live without a hitch. The puzzles were well intergrated with the story. The voice acting was excellent. The plot was dialogue led but still there were a lot of things to do and lots of places to go. The action took you from New York to the Bermuda Triangle to the North Pole while investigating a future-tech government [or do I mean alien?] conspiracy. I found it to be exciting with a great ending. My only complaint was that it was too back and "forthing", to the park, to the kiosk, to Manhatten, to the Kiosk, to the airport, back to Manhatten, back to the airport, and so on. Get it and you'll see, but it's worth it. I give a B+.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good adventure game, December 8, 2006

By	TiVoMaster "TiVoMaster" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This is a good adventure game that hardcore adventure fans will very much enjoy. It has it's flaws but the interesting story makes up for it's shortcomings. The voiceover work is good, the graphics are presented nice and the story is intriguing - you WILL want to find out what happens next. That's why it got such good reviews from the press, it deserved them. I hope they make a sequel. This game is much better than Keepsake or Black Mirror, but I would not rank it up as high as Syberia or Longest Journey.
