The Longest Journey

This critically acclaimed sci-fi adventure game tells a majestic and memorable story in a beautiful way. I avoided playing this when it came out because the protagonist is female, and I sort of thought it might be another Laura Bow. Well, it's not. This is a thought provoking, fantastic journey through two realities -- the mundane, day to day world around us, and a secret underlying fantasy world just out of reach. As our heroine travels and speaks with denizens of both worlds, she unravels literally a world of mystery. If you like adventure games or brilliant sci-fi stories, you will love The Longest Journey.

The Longest Journey was made in a time when the industry at large believed that true adventure games were dead. They were (and still are) very, very wrong. Everything you love about older adventure games (Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, beneath a Steel sky) is here with an update upon it where it was needed. Overall, it stays true to what makes an adventure game great: Great puzzles, incredible story and an immersive world. Check this game out if you like adventure games, you will not be dissapointed.

The voice acting is superb, the characters are wonderful to listen to and the story itself is quite immersive. One more perfect example of the best videogame stories of all time!

A must have for any adventure game fan out there!

This a very super game and story. I loved playing this one even though it is point and click. The story is great! This game lead me to play Dreamfall. On to that game now.
