I loved the first longest journey. Really. And thought that maybe some warnings were a bit on the conservative side and the game would be good. Actually I didn't even finish it. It is not that it is in now way a sequel to a point and click game (such as having to find your way in a labyrinth being chased by troll), but even taken as an action/adventure game, it is a very poor game. Controls are sloppy. Camera movement is sloppy. Main character creates no attachment. Storyline is poor. Only the graphics (which are great for its age), and the voice acting actually save a second star for the game.
A nice game, in old school point and click tradition. Graphics are very nice (if you like old-school graphics), soundscape is OK, the story unfolds very nicely, interface is straightforward, puzzles are just easy enough for an interactive story and hard enough to provide a bit of mental workout.
