This is the best in the series that isn't made by Robyn and Rand Miller. Not saying much, I know. But This is a great game, despite not being a bona fide classic. Also... Peter Gabriel moment is awesome.
Look. This game is great. But Myst and Riven are two of the best games of all time... historically significant games that pushed the medium forward. This was the first Myst game that wasn't made by the original creators. It was the first Myst game that didn't quite live up to the name. But!... This is still a great game. And hey, it has an amazing performance by Brad Dourif.
Multiple endings. Entertaining story and characters. Huge ship to explore. Accurate physical recreation of the Titanic. Hilarious digitized animated people. A little educational. It's an espionage adventure, and you're British Secret Service. You're James Bond on the Titanic pretty much. It's unintentionally funny in all the best ways those old games with real actors can be. It actually has a pretty compelling story. At the end it becomes an actual race against time as the sinking plays out in real time(as well as a game like this can simulate). Also you can change history in multiple ways. This game is a hidden gem. Thoroughly entertaining! One of it's greatest strengths was seen as a weakness by reviewers at the time. It's really short. I think like 6 hours. It makes for a better more dynamic story. 6 hours was seen as way too short a game in 1996, but it was exactly what it needed to be. Totally works.
