Years after playing and finishing Syberia ( the best adv. game I've ever played ) I've heard of the game by Benoit Sokal that was released prior to Syberia. People on forums were talking about this game, so I bought it to try it out. At first, my expectations were high cause of fantastic Syberia, but it was fail from the start. I installed Amerzone on my XP cause the game was old. It was VERY BUGGY from the beginning as I couldn't finish first half of chapter 1. Bummer .... so I tried Amerzone on W7 and it was not so buggy as I was moving through the game. I have to say that there are only a few NPC's in the game, so I was very disappointed. Also, the game is easy which is cool as you don't need a walkthrough and it is finished in a couple of hours. Graphics were probably great at the time and sound effects and ambient are fantastic !! There are a lot of FMV's as you unravel a great story and fantastic world through your voyage but there are also a lot of cliches in screenplay. Overall, I would give 74/100 a score for The Explorer's legacy. For everyone who likes Myst games this is a great game and not so bad for adventure fans as myself. Enjoy ....
