This game is a wonderful trip back in time to what adventure games used to be, and proves that games don't need overly loud soundtracks and overly bright, flashy visuals to be immersing and entertaining. Those who have fond memories of Sierra On-Line classics such as the King's Quest, Police Quest, or Leisure Suit Larry series will be right at home. Playing as Kate Walker, a NYC attorney in Europe to close a purchasing deal of a famous mechanical toy company, you get launched on an adventure to find the true owner of the company in question. This man, missing for decades, is obsessed with a legendary land known as Syberia. Gameplay consists of talking to people for clues, finding items, and using them to advance in the game. The objectives are more engrossing than simple "Find the key" missions, and more fun as well. Your brain will get a solid workout trying to piece together all you need to do. You will travel to several beautifully rendered areas by means of a clockwork train, assisted by Oscar, the automaton engineer. The sound and graphics are both wonderful, and really make you feel like you're in the same areas as your onscreen persona. This game is truly a classic and should not be missed.
