Some reviewers say this is a point and click game - no it is not. It tries to look like one, but it is more a arcade jumper than point and click. Yes, you pick an object here and there but mostly it is about jumping around escaping the monster that will kill you because the game controls just plain and simply suck. Did not spend much time with this, because I hate games whose difficulty levels are created by giving you crappy controls and endless let's try again - rinse & repeat - moments. Two stars because it looks and sounds nice and did not cost that much.
This game has beautiul graphics. The gameplay however, is too slow paced, all those moments spent waiting for a dialog/fade in or out etc to finish is just te-di-ous. I am old, but not that old to start having fun watching the paint dry - if ever. The game takes the original story and strips away anywhing actual emotionally important bits and pieces the book has to make this game a basic Hollywood like standard story for the small minds of the scared people of the United States of Slaves(tm). Handling things like rape, religious oppression etc seems still to be a tough case to crack and instead you are offered whitewashed, smoothed over, nicer things. Just read the book - and spend your gaming money on something more worthy.
