The Longest Journey

The game is advertised as an adventure in two world, one governed by science, one by magic. This intrigued me so much, I had to give it a try. Big mistake. First of all, the game is beautiful to look at. It better be, because you'll be looking at the same things, over and over and over and over......the game is not a test of your logic and reasoning skills, it's a test of eyesight and patience. Items that are completely essential to progress in the game can only be found by randomly stumbling around a room, again and again until you get lucky. You can't use your brain and find a key in a logical place, you have to pick up every single item on the coffee table until picking up the magazine reveals the key underneath. Now, a little of this is okay, but the game really overdoes it. You have to have the patience of a saint to endure this game, which makes you run from one end of the map to get something, only to send you right back where you started to get something else. I don't call that fun. I call that boredom and frustration. Horrible, horrible game.

Incredible story, music, voice-acting, and characters that stay with you long after you complete the game. If you like story-driven point-and-click RPGs, this game's for you.

This game is one of the best games I have ever played, regardless of genre. The first time I played this, I was about 16 years old. It was first released in my country of Norway and with a Norwegian cast. It felt awkward playing a game where the story takes place outside of Norway and has multiple characters from different corners of the Earth but somehow, everybody spoke Norwegian. But it still worked for me because the voice cast was very good and the story was amazing. And the most surprising part for me was that such a fantastic game was developed by a Norwegian company! OK, so I'll shut up about Norway now. :) A few years ago, I found this game in the store as a DVD version with both English and Norwegian versions. (Last time I mention Norway. Promise!) I bought it and decided to play the English version. The experience made me love this game even more. It felt so good hearing the characters speak a language that matched the characters' personalities and surroundings. The voice cast is incredible, and the story is really well fleshed out. It's safe to say that you will experience many different emotions whilst playing. FunCom has made this a gem of a game and even if you don't like adventure games in general, give this one a try. The story, characters and surroundings make this game an exclusive experience and I urge everyone who loves a great story and great character development to give this a try. This is the only game I would give a 10/10. I promise you will love this game.

Simply one of the best adventure games ever. It's mixes sci-fi with fantasy, drama with parody, action with puzzle-solving. You play with April Ryan an 18 year girl at the 22nd century, interesting eh? She has weird dreams, she meet a dragon in her dreams. Later meet Cortez who tells her there are two - once one - world Stark the world of science - where she living - and Arcadia the world of magic. Soon she shifting Arcadia then back, both world meet friends and enemies. One of her best friend will be Crown - who is a talking crown - he'll help out many difficult situation. Well, I don't say more. Play the game and found out yourself in your longest journey. ;) The game has an awesome graphics in 2D, all location is a hand-drawed masterpiece. Trust me, they looks better than today fancy 3D environments, it's full of life and magic. The cinematics also a masterpiece, they looks realistic, but you don't feel like other ames "it looks totally different then the game". They are fit to the game style, colors and graphic. The voices are also great April and any other main or episode character has a professional voice. The music is also great, beautiful and atmospheric. You must buy this game if you like sci-fi, fantasy or simply love playing!

It has a story that is the best in the genre and one of the best period. It also deals with some mature themes, which was rare for its time (and it managed not to overdue it). Even if you don't like adventure games, try this out.
