This game has a great atmosphere. The Aztec buildings have been very well reproduced. The characters are interesting and, above all, the plot is engaging. For lovers of adventure games, the title is a must. In fact, the graphics for the times in which this game was created were at a very high level. The game also contains detective elements. If it had appeared on GOG but what a homesickness it would have appealed.
While doing research for edutainment games I found this gem. While the voice acting is quite bad the education, however, surrounding the Aztec culture is pretty accurate from what we knew of Mesoamerica in the 90's and early 2000's. From the buildings to the outfits to the little artwork pieces, all of it seems to fit for an education game but still engaging enough to enjoy as an point and click adventure.
The art shows the PS2 version - I only ever played the PC version by Cryo (R.I.P.). Possibly one of the most relaxing games of all time, and even though I got stuck on one of the latter puzzles, if GOG brought this to their site I would buy it instantly on release day. It sat somewhere between completely static screens and moving through static screens in first person (like in The Journeyman Project 3, for example). But this is a truly unique setting versus other games of this type, and it also has a nice educational element too - whereby you can look up information on the things you find in the game in its own little mini encyclopaedia. I'd love to see this on GOG because they have brought several similar games to the site, such as the original Dracula trilogy. These games feature similar graphical techniques, which makes me think there is no reason why this lovely game can't be brought to us too (outside of the usual licencing issues).
It was new game genre for me and at the time it was hard, but when i completed it i was very happy and even my older brother congratulate me because for him it was too hard. I remeber the part with playing aztec "football" and it was very fun. I would like to play it again for nostalgia feeling.
