This mini-review is from my memory from way-back-when. I plan on getting this and replaying it, so maybe I'll change my mind... After playing and loving The 7th Guest, I was really looking forward to The 11th Hour. However, after actually playing the game, I think my favorite part of it was actually the packaging that it came in. This might have been because my computer was out-of-commission when I first got the game, and so I had to wait for weeks before I could play it, and so I spent a lot of time studying the box and reading the manual before I got to enter Stauf's mansion again! The game itself felt very forced. Like they tried too hard to make it different from the first, but couldn't quite figure out how to make it work. The awe of the video, while pretty advanced at the time, wore off quickly. The acting was not that great, and honestly I did not like any of the characters. It's not that they were boring, they were actually very unlikeable! I kind of felt like they deserved what they got by the time it was all over. The mansion itself was beautiful. The aged look was really cool. I don't remember any puzzles actually standing out. They seemed to mostly be rehashes from The 7th Guest.
