Don't let the $19.99 price tag fool you. This is one of the most engrossing games to come along since the MYST series. If you liked Shenmue and Myst, you will absolutely love Syberia. I was skeptical at buying it at first but I have been caught up in this beautifully crafted game. The graphics are georgeous and voted top 3 for the best graphics. We're talking Resident Evil (Gamecube)backgrounds but better. It's also very eery. Alot of churches and cemetarys and the cut scenes are great looking as well. This is definately one of my best games in the library. Alot of cool puzzles and just to roam this beautiful world is a sight to behold. The story is great as well. Give it a chance, hell, pick it up. At $20.00 you CAN'T go wrong. Just a heads up. By the way it's not a point and click game. It's like Resident Evil without the enemies except the graphics eclipse RE. I really don't understand why more people don't enjoy this type of game. It's definately a good change from all the hack and slash games out there. You need a brain to play this game.

It's free roaming but when you interact with something from the environment or a puzzle, it's point and click.

I keep "almost" getting this game but just haven't yet.
I know it doesn't have any "action" or "shooting" so I fear I may get bored of it, even though I really like adventure games.

THe game is pretty good. I played the demo some time ago on the PC version. Good if Adventure games are your thing.

yea..If I got it I would either stop playing it halfway through, or play it through and then let it collect dust.

That was an amazing game. I remember that is the first game I ever owned for my computer. We got it in 1995 the same day I got my first computer. It took days and days to get it to install, but it sure was worth it.

Sounds interesting....however, I must admit, I am a blood, gore, shooting, and killing freak. Lots of guts, please :D

I loved that game i am gonna keep it even though i passed it. The enviroments are really good and i love the story and want more. It isn't hardcore action and stuff but it sure is interesting. Some parts are sad because of the lonely people, towns, being all forgottne and stuff. The graphics especially the water and stuff are so good IMO. Except the character model's face sometimes looks like orange. Other then that i liked this game alot and the price is good. I think they are gonna release the second one too. Maybe even this year. Very cool and artistic and beautiful game. IT didn't get the best reveiws because again it isn't for everyone it mostly lost scores on replay value, and they probably expected different gamplay.
