Probably was a fun game to play at the time for a teenager, but wasn't worth the time playing now as an adult. (1) Story was a let down. There was a lot of complexity there but it really wasn't resolved in a particularly fulfilling fashion. (2) The FMV sucked. Tedious -- there are movies of characters picking up rolls of tape, badly directed -- many scenes end with 5 seconds of the actor sitting there with nothing to do/say, and badly acted. Dean Erickson is a good looking guy and all, but there's nothing charming or heroic about his portrayal of Gabriel Knight, nor does it resemble Tim Curry's character from GK1. (3) Adventure games sucked. After playing through a few recently for nostalgia, I have to conclude that games have just moved on from when I was a kid. Spending hours wandering through every room looking for things to click on -- not fun.
