The Longest Journey

"A journey that you will never forget"

A Journey that you will never forget..

This game is amazing. You be on the journey for hours and after your down you will want to start all over. This game may seem like an rpg but this game is actually an Adventure game. Which includes 4 CDs. The game takes place in the future with Flying Taxi and more advance technology. The game is actually a story told by a person named The Lady Alvane.

You are a simple person living a simple life. But one day you started to have weird dreams and you found out from a guy named Cortez that your the fate of 2 worlds. On your journey you will encounter monster and you will have to solve puzzles which some can be easy and some can be hard. The storyline gets more complex later in the game.

Along the game you will meet new people and each person has their own personality and goals. For example, SPOILER!!
You will meet a guy and before he does a favor for you that guy will tell you to do a favor before he does you a favor.

Beware this game is not for kids because of the foul language especially from one person and also some nudity from the begginning of the game. There are also some Hideous creatures that you will encounter and they might scare you off running :p. Thats why the game is rated M=Mature 17+ by ESRB.

Down to business

The controls are very simple find a destination then click. But some destination are hard to find like in the Bart station you need to find the gene scanner but is really hard to see where to click.

The graphics are also amazing especially when they show a movie in some parts. The game should have used more animation. For Example, you don't really see the water move when your at a beach. There are also some glitches in the game.

Graphics-9
Amazing graphics but need some more animation.

Sound-10
Great quality you can hear clearly of what a person is saying.

Controls-9
Endless point and click.
Some destination is hard to find.

Lasting-9
Even though the box said 50+ hour of gameplay I beat in like 14 hours.

Fun Factor-10
This game is fun. Even though the begining can be a bit dull but the the middle and the end makes up for it. 4 CDs. After your finished with the game you will want to play again.

Overall-9
A must buy period. This is one of the best adventure game I ever played.

Quote from game but not exact: In stark there is Logic and Order. In Arcadia there is Magic but it invites Chaos.
