Customer Reviews

Very difficult navigation & interface.
The mouse drags s-l-o-w-l-y. I am still stuck in the house because when I pick up her cell phone, it won't let me read the messages. I have a brand new computer with Windows XP and can run almost any other game on it. I gave up trying to play it until I can find a patch. Also, I hate having to "run up" on things in order to get a huge box to show up around something to see if I can interface with it. It is slow, jumpy, and awkward. What a shame, because I think if I could get it to work better, I would really like it.

I feel like someone gave me a delicious piece of pecan pie ala mode but handed me an enormous pitch fork with a 6' handle to eat it with.

I'll try to play it some other time.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
The user interface for this game is too difficult to navigate for me. I got through a few screens and gave up. I completed the first edition of "The Longest Journey" and enjoyed it very much. That game could be played with a mouse. This new one requires navigation with the keyboard. Having said that, if I was able to play it, it appears to be a beautiful, rich game and I regret missing the experience.

PC Game Review
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
The game is a great adventure puzzle game but I felt it did not have the depth or excitement of the original game "The Longest Journey". I believe too much time was spent on graphics and not enough on the quality of the story.
