 Riddle of the Tomb September 11, 2008
This is a game with a lot of tasks to solve. Some are easy and some are difficult. The game is lasting a longer than many others and that is good. The grafic is also very good and it is easy to manage around in the different locations. When it is over you which it would last a little longer.

I am a fan of ancient Egyption history. Most of my early PC games were "Egyption based". This is my first Egyption "puzzle" game. I find the settings & graphics to be okay. The objects to be found, however, have little to do with "ancient Egypt" ie gas can. Even though I have solved all the puzzles once I still go back for a redo.

I tried installing this game on 3 different computers, 2 running XP and one running VISTA. The game did not work on any of them. There was no text only a blank white box on the XP computers and nothing at all on the VISTA computer. Totally unplayable and a complete waste of money. The Adventure Company should be ashamed of themselves.

This is a traditional point-n-click adventure set in Egypt at the time of Cleopatra. The game comes on one DVD which has to remain in the drive during play.
You play in first person as Thomas, an apprentice astrologer. You find your girl, Iris, and her father, Akkad, have disappeared. The object of the game is to find out what happened and why and track them down.
Control is mouse only.
Graphics are good standard, with flowing water. The game is in 3D.
Ambient sounds are well done. Voice acting merely so-so. Lines seemed rushed on several occasions. The story kept me interested even if the characters didn't.
Puzzles are mainly inventory based though there are some logic puzzles. All are well integrated into the Egypt of the time. I managed to complete the game without resorting to a walkthrough, so they are on the easy side of difficult. Solving the puzzles gave a cut scene, nicely done.
Game length was disappointing. There are three venues, Akkad's garden, Royal library and Alexandria lighthouse. There are a couple of brief visits to Cleopatra's palace, but no significant gaming action takes place there. There is a system of choosing astrological sign which tailors the puzzles as easier or harder. In practice there is not much difference. The puzzles remain almost the same as does the length of the game. I estimate roughly 18 hours game play if you are as slow on the uptake as I am.
The game ran without problems on an older computer system. I liked what I saw, but wanted more for the price.
