Customer Reviews of Riddle of the Sphinx
Great Game If you like interesting, non-violent, adventure games, then this is a must have. It starts off by giving you a run down of discoveries made with the real Sphinx and Pyramids and then pulls you in to make this one of the most "real" feeling games I've played. With many games I have gotten stuck and frustrated trying to find solutions to puzzles that are not logical, but in this game everything seemed to flow beautifully. Whenever I got stuck I would just go back and explore again, and see things I hadn't the first time.
The only downside to this game is its primitive graphics. Though good, it could have been much clearer and more advanced. This game has problems on PC's with the minimum requirements, yet doesn't do well on very fast machines either. Thankfully I was able to use a friend's 333 pentium and it ran just fine then. The music is occasionally intrusive and annoying as well.
Overall, though, I'm glad I got it, and it was worth the cost.
Just Good and Okay, but not Excellent
I enjoyed playing this immersive adventure to Egypt--I am always fond of adventure games that incorporates mysticism and ancient artifacts.
The puzzles presented in the game are indeed logical and can be accomplished without consulting a walkthrough. I loved the puzzles and walking around the Giza and the Cheops pyramids.
My dissatisfactory comments goes to the graphics--something Dreamcatcher is notorious for. The sky graphics are inadequately designed with bands and the helicopter needs work to display the the realistic texture. The immersive experience of "Riddle of the Spinx" is 3 from a scale of 1 to 5. "3" because of the helicopter and the skies strips the immersive factors away from the game.
If you can't wait for Myst 3: Exile, purchase this title to alleviate your impatience for Myst 3. I am certain that Myst 3 is what we adventure fanatics have been waiting for since Riven came out in 1997.
FANTASTIC
This game was great! and the reason is because it is realistic and shows Egypt as it was. Anyone who says it has a hidden agenda (what hidden agenda?) or has poor graphics has never been to Egypt or studied anything about Egypt and just wants to complain!
All the bad reviews are from people who try to compare this game with others. There is no comparison....it stands alone because it is so real. It's like being transported back in time.
And what's this religious stuff guys? It's a game, and it doesn't try to make you do anything against your beliefs! Besides the Egyptians had many gods, this game just brings all that together in a game.
I loved this game, and you boo hooers.....shouldn't be so critical. Besides, I had no problem playing on my computer!
