Customer Reviews of Nibiru: Age of Secrets

Nice Graphics...........but
The idea for the game is good, has a definet goal to reach. On 2 discs that do not need to be in the drive to run is a plus. The graphics are pretty darn good. <

>Actual game play is akin to taking a sedative, slow movements, watching your figure move from place to place gets real tiring, very sleepy actually. Making the character move is about all you can do in this game. There are a few puzzels to solve, though not as many as there could/should be. Near all the conversations are game run, the player has no, none, nada, zilch control over what is said in conversations, and you can't do anything but watch. <
> <
>The subtitles are written with a lot of typos, and painfully slow, even at the fastest setting. <
> <
>Better than nothing, though not much. My 2 star rating is entirely based on the graphics. <

Nibiru - great game
I LOVE adventure games so I had to play this one of course. Nibiru is fairly easy and fun to play. It has a lot of puzzles and reminds me of "Black Mirror" very much so. I also played Black Mirror and this was my favorite after Syberia and Syberia II. Ahhh what can I say. If you like all the above you will have fun playing NiBiRu. You won't find anything super hard and the game won't let you continue unless the puzzle is solved. I played it pretty quick but had fun..... great graphics. But hey - that is just me.

A few flaws, but not bad
The actual story of the game doesn't really draw you in in the beginning, however through sheer will and stubbornness, I completed this game in one day. (Not to mention a lack of a social life) <
> <
>The start of the game has you, Martin Holan, an archaeology and linguistics student called to visit your uncle in France. He has a rather ambiguous project for you to complete and unfortunately, it remains ambiguous even up until the end. The story was a little slow and confusing at times with an ending that left much to be desired. <
> <
>Graphics were pretty nice and the scenes and sound effects were amazingly realistic (think Syberia, but less snow) <
> <
>Now as far as the vocal actors were concerned, I was a little disappointed. Our hero, Martin, is a little hard to form an attachment to, as he continues to state the obvious and sometimes talks like he's trying to be a "loose-cannon cop on the edge". Not very tough, just comes off dorky and grating. You get used to him after a while though. As for the other characters, their accents border somewhat on the ridiculous. Take Uncle Francois for example, I still don't know if he was German, French, English or Turkish. <

>Nibiru is a pure adventure game, which means no combat, just a lot of logic puzzles. Some of the puzzles were next to impossible but you can find solutions to all of them on the web. Anyway, for fans of this genre, and for people willing to spend 19.99 for roughly 8+ hours of gameplay, I'd say Niburu is a good choice.
