Gameplay: Trial and Error merely to get where you're going rarely makes a good adventure title. Graphics: The character models are a bit dated, but like all TAC titles, the graphic setting is gorgeous. Sound and music: If it were just the soundtrack, it'd be good but forgettable; the writing for the voice acting is just atrocious. AI and Difficulty: No AI to speak of, but there's puzzle difficulty, which is mostly a matter of pixel hunting - painfully so. Controls and Interface: Memo to designers: mark the buttons on your menus, please. Overall: Leave it on the shelf, unless you're a masochist.
