The best puzzle yet is the one that lets you talk to Mr. Beautiful. The animation is jumpy as hell (and i was playing on a p-90 w/62 bit 2M vid card), the dialouge sucks, and the game draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags. It take forever to get anywhere at all. The puzzles afterwards just seem to get worse (harder, and you are just left guessing, not solving, which i hate). Combat looks nice (the one scene I've seen so far) but it lacks almost ANY palyer involvment(or should I say it has none). I am stuck on two later puzzles, the computer 'locust' and the password to Dolp Van Ittey's computer. Then again it was 3am when I treid ot solve them but it still looks like I will be sitting and guessing. The character interaction is nice, the 'witty' banter between the characters isn't, the same animation loop for EVERY character playing over and over again each time you talk to them is bad, most of the voices are cheesy, but my biggest gripe: It takes forever to do anything. A nice looking game, with what seems to be a good plotline, but the game mechanics are horrible. I don't like the game. I'm debating whether or not to even finish it. later- shane if you need some help, drop me a line. it could save you hours... 8^)
