A DEEP SPACE ADVENTURE BY SEAN CLARK IN COLLABORATION WITH FILMMAKER STEVEN SPIELBERG
An asteroid the size of a small moon is on a crash course toward Earth, and only NASA veteran Boston Low has the expertise to stop it. Along for the ride are award-winning journalist Maggie Robbins and internationally renowned geologist Ludger Brink.
Once the wayward asteroid is nuked into a safe orbit, the trio conducts a routine examination of the rocky surface.
What they uncover is anything but routine.
Low, Brink and Robbins unwittingly trigger a mechanism that transforms the asteroid into a crystal-like spacecraft. The team is hurtled across the galaxy to a planet so desolate, Brink is moved to name it Cocytus, after the 9th circle of Hell in Dante’s inferno. The bleak landscape was obviously once home to a highly evolved civilization, with remnants of sophisticated architecture, advanced technology and an intricate network of underground tunnels.
But no Cocytans.
Who were the original inhabitants of this once rich empire-turned-wasteland? What are those apparitions that mysteriously appear from time to time? Why have Low, Robbins, and Brink been brought to this place? And how can Low keep his team from unraveling in the face of such uncertainty? To return to Earth, they must dig for answers, both on the planet’s surface and deep within themselves.
From the combined talents of LucasArts and legendary Steven Spielberg comes an epic adventure that plunges headlong into the very core of the unknown. And takes you with it.
Nearly 200 locations and hundreds of puzzles
Robert Patrick of T2 as the voice of Boston Low
Special effects contributed by Industrial Light & Magic
Dialogue contributed by award-winning sci-fi writer Orson Scott Card
Alluring Wagnerian musical score sets the epic tone
Im not one for writing reviews, but I'll just say this. If you never played The Dig, and you LOVE the Sierra point and click adventuire games likes King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, you will LOVE The Dig. The story is much more immersive than the ones I mentioned, the graphics are better, the ambiant music is great, the voice acting is excellent. Highly recommended.
If you do not like King's Quest, avoid The Dig. Simple.
How much you'll like "The Dig" depends greatly on what you're looking for in an adventure game an how you respond to its general aesthetics. Expect nothing similar to the light-hearted and humorous setting Lucasarts is usually known for. This is a dramatic game with a pretty dark story. It conveys a strong atmosphere of loneliness and desolation, balanced by a sense of wonder as one explores the stunning scenery of the planet. It is very unique in Lucasarts' production, so much so that at times one is reminded of completely different games like for instance Eric Chahi's "Another World" or even the "Metroid Prime" series (as far as atmosphere is concerned).
For all these reasons it is understandable why this is not everyone's cup of tea. Nonetheless if you feel attracted to its visuals and its general darker tone, if you value exploration and atmosphere over humor and character building, and if you don't mind the heavily pixelized character animation of the era, you should definitely try it. I was absolutely amazed by the sheer beauty of the backgrounds and the music, that create this delicious feeling of oppression, isolation, and decay. The story indeed has its flaws (I would have liked another ending to be honest), and some puzzles might seem uselessly complicated. But it does not matter that much. The real purpose of the game is exploring this dark, crepuscular world, and If you like this kind of atmosphere you'll love it.
I loved this game. great story, nice plot. id give it 5 stars except there was no quick travel so if you wanted to go back you couldnt zoom to a place youve been but had to walk the whole way. other than that i loved it.
The first time I met this game I was 9 years old. I wouldn't beat it without a walkthrough on a magazine given to me by a friend of mine. I didn't care much about how noob I was, I just enjoyed the experience so much that The Dig it's still a game I carry in my heart. So today I bought the game and I can't wait to replay it, all by myself, living something magical again.
(I'm sorry for my poor Enlgish skills).
