Beautiful, addictive, and fascinating.
Throughout the story you meet the kind of bizarre, fascinating people that you'd love to meet in real life. You go to the kind of amzing, beautiful, and awe-inspiring places that all adventurers dream of going. The story is just a way of getting you there, and it does it's job.
The gameplay in Syberia is exceptional. Unlike many poorly-made adventure games, the puzzles in Syberia make sense, and fit with the story. You don't just find yourself messing with some combination code that has no business being there. Plus, all the puzzles are solvable, while not being too easy. Unfortunately, some bugs will taint your experience, but not in a significant way.
The graphics in this game are outstanding, with the only exception being that some of the people look strange. The places you go, however, are exceptionally well-done, and are everything adventure game venues should be.
The audio is very well made, with musice that complements the game perfectly, and always comes in at the right moment. The voice-acting is also very good.
I would recommend this game to any fan of the adventure genre. My only complaint is that the ending leaves some questions unanswered. However, it is still amazing and gives you a sense of fulfillment when you're done.
