Title: Pretty but tedious
Review: The game installed just fine and my PC (1.7 gHz Athlon w/GeForce 4 video) runs it without issue.The graphics are lovely and imaginative, though often so dark that I had to play the game at night with the lights off. (Yes, I went through the video calibration and I have the gamma correction at max.)But that's where the fun ends. I agree with others that puzzles are tedious and made very difficult by the interface. The previous Myst games required lots of thinking, putting clues together to solve the puzzles. This latest addition requires less thinking and more "Mario Brothers" type moves.I think I'm about half-way through the game and I'm tempted to stop there. I won't even consider the online version of the game (which is what I think UBISOFT and CYAN really designed this game for).If you liked the previous versions of Myst, don't bother with this one. If you don't mind half the game being "how do I time this jump just right", give it a try.
