Customer Reviews

Better than the First
Got a gift card for xmas and got the Tree of Life and it plays very well actually. The plot is better than the first and the graphics are as good. with Her Interactive and City Interactive cranking out PC adventure games at the production rate of 4 a year PC adventure games will never die out. Butt, I have not bought a full price adventure game since Dreamfall was released 4 years ago - and this game is almost as good as Dreamfall at a fraction of the price.

Overall, this is a highly rated adventure game - a true masterpiece and classic PC game - much improved over the first and plays like a dream too - no bugs of any kind. City Interactive now put out the best adventure games - especially for the price.

For replay value this game like so many adventure games like Broken Sword and Nightlong is limited - there is only one ending possible.
