One of my all time favorite games
I have owned this game for a long time now. Glad to see GOG has it so going to get it again. My disk does not work on windows 7 so this will be awesome. Any way I played this game a lot when it originally came out. I made it through the game twice. Love the puzzles and love the game play.

A decent game
I found it took a while to become interesting. The first half of the levels were slow and without atmosphere. The second ones made up for that. The graphics are dated, but it was a pleasant experience all the same.

Great puzzles/level design, poor combat
This is one that I originally played back on the PS2, and the PC version is unsurprisingly better in every way. It's a terrific game that's brought down by a few flaws. First the positive. It has amazing level design. Project Eden shines most when you have the freedom to explore the massive levels and search for the way to get to the next area. The levels themselves are the puzzles; everything you need to solve is environmental in some way. With four characters who each have a special ability, figuring out how to get each of them to the right place to go deeper into the game is a real treat. However, this excellent design is marred by very frustrating combat. It starts off OK, but as you progress through the levels, it gets worse and worse. Probably the most frustrating part is the "Transfer" feature. Instead of just using the status menu or the number keys to switch your characters, you can also highlight one of them and click the action button to transfer into that person. On paper, this sounds handy, but during a firefight with all four characters running around, it gets really confusing. You find yourself frequently hopping from character to character without meaning to, and it *will* get you killed on occasion. Thankfully, to remedy this, there are regen points scattered around the levels. Instead of save/load checkpoints, these function as respawn points that heal your characters. This means that most combat can basically be won by attrition. At least the weapons are pretty cool. All in all, this is still a great game and well worth your time, but just be aware that if you're looking for a straight third-person shooter, you'll likely be disappointed.

the game is very nice
I would recommend it to everyone. Old but nice game. You are moving by solving puzzles.

How did I never hear of this?
This game is great! Must have really went under the radar when it came out.
