My sister played this game and liked it, so I went into this game with a completely open mind. Now that I have played it, all I can say is "What was she thinking!" This game was nothing if not boring. I am one of those people who, though they like action, also enjoys using my brain. I usually play rpgs, strategy games, adventure, and an occasional fps, but this game made my brain scream! When you first start ot play it, you're like this looks cool. The graphics are quite good for the PS one and there is sort of a mystical ambiance about it. At a half hour in, your like "this is quite different." At one hour in, your like "this is kinda frustrating." Within the next hour you have made your reservations at the nearest funny farm and are awaiting the arrival of the nice men in the nice white coats.
It takes place on an island where there are various buildings and objects to be explored and examined in order to solve the mystery of the island. The solutions to each puzzle you solve leads you to another puzzle or riddle. There is no other person on the island to interact with, so I hope you have a volleyball handy.
Other than the graphics, I found little to my liking about this game. The controls are nothing if not frustrating and combined with the camera's shoddy operation, it is enough to make playing the game a chore.
Sorry, I have to go take my meds now. Come along Wilson.
