While it may not be the best Lucasarts game around, it has all the qualities of the other games aboard, very good !

User Rating: 9 | The Dig PC
By Ravenhoe | Review Date:
When I first saw the GS score of 'The Dig' burping 4.5 at me, I could not believe my eyes. I have played through this game a few times and it always entertained me, pulling into the haunting story set on a distant planet with an intriguing set of characters. But comparing a LucasArts game to LucasArts games in general may be an interesting (and very NERDY thing) to do, but that should not justify the low rating. The Dig does not have: 1. Great atmosphere of Monkey Island, 2. The story of Loom 3. The Coolnes of Indy and Sam&Max Yet still, The Dig has: A Great atmosphere, A great story and is very cool.

I hope you get my meaning. It is one of the best classic (!) adventure game around and will satisfy every adventure enthusiast, guaranteed. Period.

The graphics are not ultra crisp but sport the typical love for detail, cut scenes with movielike camera angles and a great, sublty brooding soundtrack that nicely ties in with the games overall storyline and atmoshpere.

I rest my case

    I recently read a great article about the crappy grammar, lack of creativity, immaturity, and bad journalism inherent in video game reviewers, and the Gamespot review is the proof. The Dig is an AMAZING adventure game... Read Full Review
