My favorite RPG
Anachronox is, hands down, my most favorite RPG of all time. I've never played an RPG that made me laugh more than once or twice, Anachronox had me on the floor at points. The world(s), the characters, the surprise party member you never saw coming, it's amazing. Seriously, buy this game, you will not be disappointed!

Childish writing, uninteresting gameplay
Anarchronox presents the 90's school of videogame plot writing, in which the story was scraped together from a pool of mixed ideas created by a dozen of enthusiastic coders without any actual knowledge on writing. The heart and the drive is there, but the end result is too uncohesive to make any real sense. The dramatic moments are wasted due to the "humour" or the inappropriate character reactions that follow them. Gameplay (and especially combat) is boring due to its lack of meaningful choices; there isn't really all that much that the player CAN do in this one. With no character development, you just walk around clicking people and reading one poorly-written piece of dialogue after another, disrupted by the occasional battle. Too much time is spent running around from point A to point B and back, and the distances you need to cover are just ridiculous. Anarchronox is not a bad game per se; it's just woefully uninteresting to the point where you start to question whether there is any "game" to found at all. The story is way too weak, childish and uncohesive to save whatever remains.

Truly the best PC game of all time.
This and the Xenosaga trilogy are my two favorite games. There is nothing in this world like Anachronox! Between the amazing environments, the truly lovable yet realistic characters, and the hilarious yet spectacular dialog this game is above any other RPG I've played. Definitely give it a try, you won't regret it!!!

Probably a Classic, but...
I played this game when it came out for about 10 minutes at a CompUSA(remember those?) and wanted it but kind of forgot about it. Saw it on here and gave it a buy. The charactesr, the story, all seem pretty awesome except there is one flaw to this game that I can't get past. The camera. I may be in the minority but I just can't play this game without getting a headache. I don't know what Ion Storm was thinking but this is horrific. This game came out after FF7, 8, and even 9 so I wish that it would have just taken a step from those games and just made the camera more fixed. It's the Starebears that did me in, to be honest.

Funny and memorable turn-based adventure
I enjoyed Anachronox. Not the sometimes frequent back-and-forth between locations or the go-and-collect side quests, but there was humor and personality everywhere and combat was fun. The ongoing optimization of scarab-weapons engaged me far longer than I'm proud to admit. Anachronox lifts itself beyond is rivals with many, many clever japes. The images of your robot friend translating 'science' or playing in the ball pit are classics. The prophet who needs something stinky and chewy to concentrate. The ham-handed superhero named "The Fist." The list goes on and on. The plot is lively but linear, and searching for the key to advance can be frustrating. I highly recommend a walkthrough.
