Simon the Sorcerer 3D

For a long long time, I had this game stashed away at the bottom of a box in the back of my closet. Then a few weeks back, I was bored and no new games about to be released, so I had to find another way to feed my addiction. :) Now you must understand, that the reason it was stashed away was the KEYBOARD controls. I'm not getting any younger, and 5-6 years ago, when I thought I would give it a go, I simply couldn't manage the controls. So this day I was determined to do something about it, and dug up ALL my old classics, that had keyboard controls and installed them. (Actually I installed the whole series and played from the first one) As soon as I got it going and had played around with it a bit, I got so sucked into the game, that I forgot about the controls. The story is great and dialogs witty and I remembered why I bought the game in the first place. Sure the graphics doesn't live up to todays standard, but who cares when the gameplay and story is great. It's a long game that you don't finish in just 5-6 hours and there's lots to interact with. There's a response to almost everything you click on... not like todays games, where there's hardly ANY interaction or extra items to have fun with. If you can get over the fact it's 3D and not point-n.cllick, then you're in for a treat.

Great game! Smart, spicy, youthful, fun! I've played it a hundred times. A parody of social life. Lots of pop culture references, gags. Various locations, and an open world. Beautiful music and fun graphics! I love these heroes. it's the best part of the brand. Better than the previous parts and the following parts.

I have never played such a horrible game. It's clunky, has moon logic puzzles and you need to eject a CD drive IN REAL LIFE OR YOU WILL BE STUCK IN THE END! If you really wan't to know the story and have some insane mental strenght buy it. You will regret it as you never get that wasted time back. I have no idea how they managed to fumble that game so hard.

This is now officially one of my favorite games. It is super long, but I never felt bored. There are a huge range of different puzzles and other less-puzzly activities. The environment is huge and diverse. The voice acting is top-notch and is absolutely hilarious (constantly so). The story is quite interesting too. I felt that the controls could be better, but still the use of the keyboard is not bad and actually kind of refreshing. The graphics, while not stellar, do justice to the cartoony universe of Simon the Sorcerer. Go and try this game! :)

I would've gladly played this game, after having enjoyed the previous two, but it doesn't run on my PC, even though the system requirements are met. Sorry.
