Could be better

So it's a Lucasfilm point+click adventure in collaboration with Steven Spielberg, hence it must be awesome, right? Sadly, no. The Dig is a good game, but in my mind, it is not on the same level as other Lucasfilm titles. The game starts out well, with good writing and characters, decent voice-acting and nice atmosphere, but quickly becomes boring. Furthermore, either the game design or programming seems sloppy, as I ran into a situation where it was impossible to make progress without starting over and doing things in a different order- unusual for the high-quality Lucasfilm titles. Unless you have completed most or all other Lucasfilm games, this game is ihmo not a must-have.

Cryptic, mediocre, and overvalued

As other reviewers have noted, "The Dig" is by no means a terrible game. It has its charm--sympathetic voice acting, beautifully-drawn backgrounds, and a story full of potential. Sadly, "potential" is the key word for this game. The game felt patched together in some ways. The characters (with the exception of Commander Low) had inconsistent personalities; some of their actions seemed out of character and like they occurred just to move the story into the planned direction. When you started to appreciate the potential depth of the story, the characters would surprise you with totally inappropriate dialogue that reminded you that you were playing a game. The puzzles were... jesus, some were tedious and cryptic. They weren't even cryptic in a mysterious, engaging way--just, well, puzzling. I felt like I had missed essential context for interpreting some puzzles (like the service drone puzzle), and sometimes the cues indicating when you had completed something correctly were misplaced or unclear. Even after consulting a walkthrough to get through a few puzzles, I thought "how would I ever have arrived at this answer?". It felt like the game accidentally withheld information from the story that would have made the puzzles solvable (but still challenging). The dealbreaker of this game is definitely the ending, which is really unsatisfying and shallow. The verdict: You can pass on "The Dig" unless it comes your way for free or is a relic of nostalgia for you.

Loved this game... lost my disk...

Loved the story when I originally played it. It has a few quirky points, but overall well worth the purchase! Now I can play it again!

Of its time

I remember this game coming out, but never got a chance to play until recently. Unlike a number of classic point and click games of this era, The Dig is very much of its time - the entire game seems to be a showcase for the technology. Game-play takes a definite backseat to the "atmospheric". I ended up getting out the walkthrough to avoid endless journeys from one side of the map to the other. Only recommended for those who wish to engage in nostalgia.
