Pros: The 3rd dimension provides a larger world to explore and you can manoeuvre Simon around more easily when you get used to the controls. The game is as entertaining and funny as the previous instalments. Cons: The changing camera angles are annoying at times - such as the one where you're looking down at Simon's head, though stylistically it looks good. Movement in some parts of the game is frustratingly 'jerky' at times when you need to act quickly because you're completing a puzzle against a time limit. This game has some bugs that need fixing - such as Simon occasionally getting stuck in places like opening and closing doorways if you don't move out of the way fast enough, and sometimes there’s no getting out of it without a game reload. I had some game crashes, which may have had something to do with the performance of my PC. Save your position often if losing it would mean having to go through a lot of steps again - just in case. There are title cards in between some scenes that last a few seconds as the next one is loading which slows the game down somewhat. Overall I really enjoyed playing it and to be fair it's very reasonably priced here so I would recommend it. I'm aware of a German made 4th instalment but I'm not keen on Simon suddenly being American for some bizarre reason. Try using hint books unless you have unlimited time and patience to work it all out for yourself, which unfortunately I don't. Happy gaming!
