Title: A Quiet Weekend Spent-Doing-Absolutely-Nothing in Capri...
Product review: Well...I wanted to like this game. I am incredibly patient with games, I like a nice quiet adventure, I still enjoy text games--I even got all the way through "Riddle of the Sphinx" without a walkthrough. But this game takes the cake for boring. In a nutshell, this is a slideshow of pictures of the Island of Capri, with no animation, very tiny hotspots, scattered dialogue from 'characters' whose lips do not move (one amusing moment was hearing a dog bark and seeing, you guessed it, a picture of a dog!), narrow storyline and convoluted mapping. I'll admit I didn't finish it, but after spending literally 5 hours trying to find something to do, I wanted my weekend back. Maybe some may like it, but to me Myst is like an edge-of-your-seat thriller in comparison. I'll go play Shivers again or buy the latest Dreamcatcher instead. Good thing I only spend $3 on it at a garage sale...
