Product ReviewsSchizm: Mysterious Journey (PC, 2001)

I loved this game! Best graphics ever!

This game was given to me as a gift not long after I received my first pc and this game made me a game lover for life.I felt like I had to write a fair review of this game,because the other 2 reviews were done by people who didn't finish the game out,because they said the puzzles were too hard,Although the puzzles are not a breeze in the park,they are fun and relevant to the game.I do like challenging (yes,they can be somewhat hard in this game,but not impossible) puzzles,nothing is better than be stuck on a puzzle,then all of a sudden it comes to you and Wow! you've got it, all on your own! there is a couple great walkthroughs out there if you get stuck,and there is nothing wrong with using one,if you are having trouble figuring it out,use one,because the story is awesome.I love the switches between characters,and how deserted and beautiful Argulus is,you can actually feel it,in the atmosphere,the way the sounds ring true and hollow. How separately but apart Sam and Hannah must figure out what happened to the residents of this fantastic planet,their fellow researchers sent there and then who seemed to disappear into nowhere.The absolute best graphics I've ever seen in a game! To me it was truely a wonderful and Mysterious Journey.The only thing I felt like could have been done better was the voice actors,they said their lines like they were reading them and for the first time,no emotion,but I still recommend it as a great game!Read full review...

Good luck

This is the most converluted adventure game I have ever played, and I've played a lot. The graphics were very good. I would have loved to explore more & done more things, but was not alouded. The plot I never did figure out. The reason I didn't figure it out is because I never finished the game. The puzzles were imposable to figure how they worked or what they did. If you can figure this game out without a walkthrough your a better gamer then I (I like www.GameBoomers.com for adventure games). Even with the walkthrough the answers to the puzzles were so differcult I realized I would never have been able to figure it out on my own. I think had I stuck with the game I might have gotten to like it, but I just found it too differcult & frustrating and I like a game were the puzzles make some since to the plot. If I had known I wouldn't have wasted my money.Read full review...

Don't buy if you have VISTA

I'm sure the game is very good (my rating relates to my experience) but it would not play properly on my system: Vista. The menu was incomplete and I couldn't save and reload. Vista didn't like the CDs and there's a lot of disc changing in this game. I tried altering the compatibility but no joy. It's not much fun being unable to save. Also, I couldn't switch from Hannah to Sam.Read full review...
