Puzzling in the Wrong Way, But Nonetheless a Thrill

by t13monkeys t13monkeys is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Games, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 16 '01
Pros: great graphics, intriguing environment, long game
Cons: endless dialogue, some stupid obscure puzzles and loss of plot
I've played adventure games back in the day, when you had King's Quest, Monkey Island and other puzzling games featuring pixelated characters walking from one pixelated place to the next. Some games you want to end, such as King's Quest in my humble...

Longest Journey: Great Game Spoiled by Foul Language

by busby777 , Oct 19 '06
Pros: mysterious, interesting, fun
Cons: foul language, references to sexual acts, sometimes confusing
Review of “The Longest Journey” Role-Playing Game for PC Audience: This game is suitable for ADULTS ONLY, and that’s a shame because it would have been a great game for kids 13 years and older. However, it has way ...

Best Interactive Gam... uh... Book

by blueseer , Feb 15 '02
Pros: Art quality graphics, good story, good voice acting, excellent game flow, fun.
Cons: Lack of "game element".
I like the adventures games in the 80's (before many of you were born). But I never like any of the newer ones. The newer King Quest series was absolutely boring. Even Azrael's Tear (with excellent review in gamecenter) was not interesting enough for me...

A wonder of magic and reality

by hapydragn , Nov 24 '00
Pros: lush graphics, good voice talent, unique storyline
Cons: occasional hard puzzles, some long dialogue
I discovered this masterpiece after glancing through websites and read a review that it was the greatest game ever. I could never believe that I could get as excited about a game as this guy did. Well, I guess I was completely wrong, The Longest Journey...

"Weird things have been happening lately."

by ashi1 , Oct 11 '01
Pros: Beautiful graphics interesting worlds, great acting, memorable characters, itriguing story
Cons: A bit easy, linear, long-winded dialogue
The Longest Journey was the "black horse" of 2000. Who would have thought that a practically unknown developer from Norway would produce the best adventure game of the year?

The star of The Longest Journey is April Ryan, an 18-year-old art...

Am I Playing The Same Highly Reviewed Game?

by monkeyhoot , Dec 20 '00
Pros: graphics are pretty good
Cons: bad language, easy puzzles, third person character play
The game I'm playing just cannot be the same one that is getting such high marks and reviews because the game I'm playing is too easy and not much of an adventure.

But, the box says, The Longest Journey and April Ryan is the main...

Footsore but satisfied

by rosaphile , Apr 05 '01
Pros: Accessible (i.e., mostly easy puzzles); absorbing storyline
Cons: Character graphics are icky; LONG conversations; irksome stupidity of main character
I must make a confession up-front: I am not a hard-core adventure gamer. I played the Monkey Island demo and wished I liked it, but I got frustrated with the puzzles... *in the demo.* Myst just about gave me hives, or an ulcer, or both. I was stupid...

Keeps quality adventure gaming alive

by kfgecko Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 31 '01
Pros: Good story, amiable main character, good puzzles, tedium prevention
Cons: Adult language, requires patience
The Longest Journey satisfies the adventure game cravings with good story, development, likeable main character, very nice scenery, loads of puzzles, and clear by design attempts to avoid tedium. This game puts the player in the shoes of an 18 year old...

It wasn't the Longest Journey...but it was a good one

by bansidhe , Jun 26 '01
Pros: Decent graphics, well-developed story line, puzzles instead of monsters.
Cons: Text-heavy, somewhat limited in terms of user-choice situations, a bit too easy.
Although I enjoy computer games, I've never been a big fan of the hack-and-slash variety, and striking down monsters with a sword doesn't really interest me. Because of this, I tend to try puzzle-oriented games, adventure games that depend more on the...

Don't let this one pass you by

by Programmer2k , Nov 17 '00
Pros: Good story, addictive gameplay, excellent character development
Cons: Never want it to end, May be hard to find in stores
This is the best adventure game I’ve played in years. If you are even remotely interested in adventure games, you need to take a look at this one. I saw this game reviewed on GameSpot (pc.gamespot.com) before it was available in the stores. I...

Not only The Longest Journey, but the Best

by spstewart , Dec 23 '00
Pros: Overall excellence, good value
Cons: Too slow for some
Much has been written about the demise of adventure gaming, with only a handful of adventure titles released each year, and great examples of the genre seemingly gone the way of the dodo. So when I read a few glowing reviews of The Longest Journey, I...

The Longest Journey - get the bus instead

by newham , Jul 02 '01
Pros: Innovative storyline, well developed plot, well crafted graphics
Cons: illogical or banal puzzles, long and tedious dialogue, blotchy character graphics, non-interactive game play
Firstly, I'm a fan of adventure games. Games which immerse you in a whole new world and provide an enjoyable, complex, challenging and fantastic voyage.

Every review I read about this game promised great things. I eagerly bought it. 3 days...

Must have for an adventurer.

by _Targeted , Dec 26 '00
Pros: Everything !!!
Cons: Small troubles running first time.
I ordered this game directly from Great Britain, and it took a while for the box to be delivered. Nevertheless, it was worth waiting.

The game goes in 4 CD and a small b/w manual.

Installation is somewhat funny, it installs exactly...

A Journey To Remember

by denatron , Apr 29 '01
Pros: An Adventure
Cons: None
The Longest Journey:

I'm not one to buy that many video games (it's an addiction) but once in a while, I'll read the reviews on them and get an idea of what goes on during these sort of adventures that can last sometimes for hours or days and...

Gives Gabriel a Run for His Talisman

by Kandih , Jan 09 '01
Pros: Good story, characters, graphics
Cons: too many empty scenes
I've been playing computer games since the "old days" when that mainframe Star Trek Game was the coolest thing going, and it's "graphics" were asterisks and dollar signs. Over the years, like not as many others as I might wish, I...
