I totally disagreed with GameSpot's review of this game. What the game lacks in grapics, it makes up for in gameplay and sound. The sound adds an air of mystery and a sense of urgency to the game. It will get your adrenaline pumping as you get frustrated trying to open locks and safes. The gameplay is superb. Some locks and safes are easy, but to get to them, you must go through some hard ones first. Also, for those who like the flavor of story and mystery, don't get too caught up in the locks, puzzles, and safes. Look around and read the various pieces of paper strewn around the mansion. This game is also a great value for what you get. The replay value may not be immediatly evident since you'll want to let the game sit for a year or so after beating it. Then come back to it and have fun trying to remember how to solve all those puzzles all over again. I gave this game a high tilt because this game is the most underrated game I've ever played and it really is a masterpiece. As the old saying goes "One man's junk (Gamespot), is another man's treasure". If you like puzzles and mystery, then this game is for you. Check it out.
