Negative Positive
Title: Stay away
Review: If you're looking for a new game to play, go buy Syberia instead. Or Syberia II. Or just put your money on the floor and set fire to it, because that's effectively the same thing as spending it on Paradise.The other reviews are spot-on--while the graphics (particularly the pre-rendered backgrounds) are luscious and the story is interesting, the gameplay itself is terrible. Playing in the third person as Ann, you are reduced to pixel hunting over and over again because of glitches; sometimes you can find the hotspot, sometimes not. Even with the patch, my game hangs, freezes, and crashes with depressing regularity. Conversations are jerky and for some reason I repeat the same questions to certain characters endlessly. I never could play as the leopard.Bottom line...while I loved Benoit Sokal's earlier games, this one is a dud.
