What is left to be said about one of the most beautiful stories and one of the best adventure games ever released? I would say, for all gamers who have never played it, you don't know what you are missing ! This game is so rich, so inspiring, that you'll be feeling like you are a part of a better world, you're emotional state will be greatly and for a long period, changed. You'll always have the feeling, when playing, that you are taking part of something else than just a videogame; something great, exciting and rewarding. The fabulous story drives you to 2 differents worlds, an antithesis between good and bad, between ugly and beautiful, between science and magic. The quests are fairly difficult, the puzzles are a bit too difficult, but all the action is very creative, very catchy. You will never want to hit the exit buton, and, when you have to do it, from time to time, you'll be still thinking at the game, at what you should do next. You'll barely can wait to come back home, to start your computer and launch the game. After finishing it, you'll the feeling that you want more, but this is not the game's ending fault. It's because you'll be missing already the beauty of the story, the Marcuria and the characters. You'll be feeling that you have left behind in Marcuria and in many characters encountered in the game, a part of your soul. The characters are memorably, you won't forget any character of the game and the voice acting is simply fantastic. You won't skip any line, though you'd heard some cue many times before. The bad is that (althought for the time was released, it was a very innovative game) it seems that the game's technical solutions back then being limited, were not supporting the story at its best potential as it should have been today. Sometimes, it seems that the action is pushed ahead in rush (you pass from underground world to underwater world, then to the skies, and viceversa), not leting you this way to taste and enjoy enough those (very different) worlds. I think it would have been great if this kind of story would have been told using episodic gaming. This way, the sequel for The Longest Journey wouldn't had to wait 5 bloody years.
I've never written a rev in my life, and probably I won't bother writing one again for a long time, but this game is something that's worth the while. I'll try to give this as simple and as short as I can: I play sho... Read Full Review
