The Bottom Line:

"Worth playing"

Don't know if graphically it'll stand the test of time, but as far as story, puzzles and characters..this is a game that beats most, even today. From the beginning, it's hard not to appreciate Manny. His interactions with other characters is guaranteed to have genuine, laugh out loud, moments. The puzzles are not easy, but not so complicated that you'll want to walk away. I honestly don't see how you can once you start. The game is broken into four parts or "years". The change in scenery from one year to the next is awesome. If the other side is like this..it'll be a blast. I played this game on a PC, so I'm not sure how it would translate over to a console. At the time it was put out, it was one of the best looking games out. Unfortunately, I will say that this game is for a more mature gamer. I don't mean old, but someone who isn't in dire need of an adrenaline rush, fast paced game. This game plays almost like an old school RPG and it's that type of gamer who would enjoy it the most.
