phaolo: opinions on syberia series?
My biggest complaint is how slow she moves, even when running. I'm 3/4 of the way through the first and will finish sometime, but it's not grabbing me like some other point and clicks

Callisto1: Syberia is an absolutely fantastic game. I first played it when it came out new and then of course Syberia 2 which is equally fantastic. It is an adventure point and click where you go a through a fantastic adventure. The scenery is beautiful and lots of characters to interact with. I don't want to say too much more. It has been years since I played it but I look forward to revisiting it again. If you loved the Longest Journey you would love this too.
you are being blinded by your nostalgia.

Kamamura: Syberia is a game from the era when a cute female protagonist and artsy landscapes and locations were considered enough for a good adventure game.

Syberia is as cold and barren as it is devoid of meaningful interactions and solid characters and storytelling, substituting vague femaleness, cutility and lonelation for a true, meaty and contentful adventure game.

Puzzle sickness is not a substitute for a quality plot!!!

6/10 for the cute art.

Yeshu: ... wait what?
I actually agree with this appraisal of the first Syberia. I've never played Syberia 2, but I do remember a lot of adventure games from that period had this going on to the point where it seemed like a trend. Still Life, Syberia, The Longest Journey, and so on bled into games like A Vampyre Story and Gray Matter. Not that making more games with female protagonists isn't a positive development, but of those I thought Syberia was the weakest.

If I'm going to warm to an adventure with really limited interactions and where the characterization of places and characters is so little reflected in what I can click on with my mouse, I'd at least want a clearer definition of what I'm doing. Syberia was more bewildering than mysterious and I felt like I was locked up in my aunt's attic with a bunch of toys from a bygone era and several of her friends speaking about people and places I couldn't understand. It was frustratingly designed, although beautiful and really quite a shallow game. There were a lot of other games from that period that did a much better job with the ethos it had going.

It's not like her death translates into one lawyer less in the physical world. ;-P

Already half way done. But that doesn't mean much... I don't even want to guess.
