Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned

"WOW, WOW, WOW"

I was introduced to the Gabriel Knight games by a friend, and you know what, this is one of the best games I have ever played since FFT.

I was once a HUGE fan of fighting games, and RPGs. I always thought killing people in games was the only fun stuff to do, but, this game proved me wrong. It has one of the best storylines, characters, it is logical, in a way, and the music is good too.

Graphics: 9/10
I am not too hang up about graphics, but, this game delievers one of the best that I have ever seen. The charcaters are detailed, the background looks great, and it is absolutly beautiful!
---
Sounds: 6/10
The sounds, by sounds, I mean background sounds, NOT music.
The sounds aren't very impressive, but it is ok.
---
Music: 8/10
The music is beautiful, it is fitting, making the gameplay enjoyable. I have downloaded a lot of its music, as I am a classical music person. Overall, it is awesome.

Gameplay: 7/10
It is not very good, as I said, I am not a non-fighting kind of person. Well, a lot of other people thinks that it is, but, you can judge for yourself. Basically, the point of the game is to score points. You'll see.

Storyline: 11/10
WOW! This is one of the best storyline I have ever played. Although Catholics and Christians may be offened as it talks about Jesus Christ and others. I am an aethist, so, I don't really care. It develops logically and steadly, I did not feel bored at any point in the game, From the beginning, at the hotel, to the end, at...I won't spoil the rest for you. This is a great story.

Strategy: 7/10
Not very hard to solve, but it requires some thinking. Most puzzles require a bit of thinking, which is good. Some of them are harder, some are easier... Some did not make sense to me at all, but, overall, it is very enjoyable. Some puzzles kill you if you get it wrong, but, you can always retry, which is very, very, very useful, especially the very last puzzle.

Characters: 8/10
Gabriel, Grace, Mosely, and a whole bunch of others, each with a different personality, it made me feel like I am actually a part of it.
---
Voice acting: 9/10
Great voice acting, accents, the emotions, some people are really passionate about this... Knight sounded real good, it made me feel that the actor actually feels like Gabriel Knight.

Overall, this is a great game, buy it, or burn it, pick one.
