Classic
One of my favorite point and click adventure games of all time. I really wish this would get revived somehow, maybe as a show or something.

GK2 Review
I love this game. This was Sierra's foray into achieving better visuals by combining video with gaming. It was ahead of its time. I like poking around to find clues. There is no school like the old school!

Best adventure game ever
Great story, good acting overall (and I mean ACTING, not voice overs, real acting with real actors), great music, interesting characters... It's a shame we don't have many more games like this nowadays.

Best of the 3 Gabriel Knight Games!
This was the first GK game which I had the privilege of playing (also the first Windows game which I bought!). Both my brother and I spent many hours playing this together to try and figure out the various puzzles, thoroughly enjoying the FMV sequences as well. I still remember getting stuck on the "splicing" part and that was the first time I used a walkthrough as well! Overall one of the best story lines in a video game, and if you enjoy any of the Jane Jensen stories from the GK series then give her books a try as well. Great stuff!
