Normally, I'm a movie person. I takes a trully great video game to mkae me take notice. I like Myst, but I never thought too much of it. And know, Riven. This is with out a doubt the greatest game ever made. Every thing in it makes sense. Unlike many games, everything in this game is there for a reason. The puzzles don't seem like puzzels at all, more like realistic devices.
The plot is great, which is rare in a video game. Let me say that again, THIS GAME HAS A GREAT STORY BEHIND IT! I have read all the books, played all the games, I apsolutly love the story of Atrus and everything that goes wrong in his life.
Not to mention that this game is BEAUTIFUL! Considering that everything is prerendered, I understand that the graphics aren't that good. But man, you can't help but fell amazed by the way this game looks. An my computer is slow as crap, yet, somehow, THERE IS NO SLOWDOWN, AT ALL!
The game has some problems. It is REALLY hard. I have respect for anyone who can beat this game without a help guide the first time they play it.
This game is not for gamers who like fast action and ahave a lot of energy. The game's pace is very relaxed, not slow, just relaxed. You never have to worry about dying or time running out. I really wish I hadn't used the help guide because it kind of ruined the game a bit. I can't wait for Myst 3 or Myst Realtime.
