For those not sure about purchasing Syberia

I'm not one to purchase a game without being able to test-drive it. I did find a trial version on another site.

The first thing I noticed were the beautiful graphics. While the controls (opening inventory) were odd at first, as soon as I realized left-click was the key I was on my way.

I wish there was a way to zoom through the dialog as I'm a fast reader but that's just a minor detail. I also wish there was a way to get Kate to walk faster, that too is a minor detail.

Overall, the game & story has me intrigued.

If you are into adventure games this will keep you busy. I have a habit of getting through this type of game rather quickly but I have a feeling this will keep me busy for a while at least.

I know this may not be the greatest review but for someone like myself, I always want to get others opinions before going in blindly.

So, I suggest, find a free trial online and see for yourself.

I am now off to download the full version from BFG.

Happy Gaming!


ETA: If you opt to download the game, I suggest having some chores, a crossword puzzle or errands to run while it's in process. This IS a large file. Even better, visit this thread http://forums.bigfishgames.com/posts/list/17797.page to familiarize yourself with the game controls.

There is a way to get Kate Walker to run. There's a topic about it in this forum. Double-click where you want her to end up.

Thanks Mr Russ but as you can see, I had already edited my post to include the thread for the game controls.


Regarding Syberia, I absolutely loved it! I'm wasting no time in downloading Syberia II right now.

A word of advice, save often. I had gotten so wrapped up in the game that when it froze on me I lost almost 2 hours of progress. It was a bit frustrating to say the least but it was definetly a lessoned learned. Albeit the hard way.

So, once you've accomplished a goal or have collected an item, SAVE!!!

I have been playing this game for a few weeks now! I have had to do the whole thing with a detailed walkthrough and it still took me that long, an hour or so at a time. It is like taking part in a movie - I would never have worked out what to do and in what order, but loved it anyway!! The details are fantastic. In one place, there is even a football match on a television in the background. Fantastic just to look at all the surroundings. Story is great. I'm going to look for Syberia 2 now, and then the walkthrough for it!
Good luck everybody

lynnmx ... that was my thought exactly after I finished S2. It was like a movie. Wait til you play S2.

It's been a long time that I found a game that I truly enjoyed. S1 & S2 were awesome! I can't wait until S3 is released next year.

I'm currently scrounging around BFG trying to find a game that's close to Syberia. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

S1 & S2 were the best purchases I made at BFG yet!!

Happy Gaming!

iv,e just got to say that i have just finished syberia 1 and 11. and loved every minute of it. i must say i did have to look at the walkthrough quite a few times but in no way did this stop the enjoyment. you can make sarah run by double clicking right mouse and the dialouge too by double clicking right mouse.do you know of any other game similar as i am now in withdrawal !.have done dracula,but not as good. please let me know if you do,cant wait to get another like this....thanks

I just purchased and downloaded the game. I wanna give it a try before I go back to The Secrets of DaVinci. I love large file games but I've only played a few through to the end. I even enjoy wandering all about in an adventure game..LOL. I've been known to wander around topside as well..LOL

Syberia II is the greatest adventure game that ever was, the train, the robot, Kate Walker. I just loved it!

I got Syberia 1 the other day and just finished it. I totally loved it. It's challenging, the artwork is beautiful, the music is nice and the storyline is great. Well worth it -- although it's a good idea to save it every once in a while.

This is my first post and it's only fitting that it is on this subject!! I got hooked on Syberia when I purchased the cd a couple of years ago. Then I found Syberia II and enjoyed many, many more hours of play. Now, you say that there is to be a Syberia III?!!! I am definitely in heaven!! NOW, I can hardly wait! Geez, I AM NOT A PATIENT PERSON! But, I will def be one of the first one's to purchase the SIII !!!! I am sooooo stoked!!! YIPPEE!!!

Congrats on your first post, & welcome to the forums! I totally agree with you about the Syberia series!I got hooked on them, & am afraid I'll probably be paying top-dollar for S3, as I won't be patient enough to wait for BFG to get it. Can't wait till June!!!

Kate

I've just finished playing this game. I LOVED it ! I'm currently downloading Syberia 2. I can't wait to see where Kate's adventure takes her. The storyline is great. The graphics are great. I needed a walkthrough for quite a lot of it but that did not take away from the enjoyment of this game.

Misty ... make sure you have a box of kleenex handy ... just saying.


Glad to see others in the pond that share my love for the Syberia series.

I hope it's not a sad ending but I have a feeling that Hans dies. I hope I am wrong. I'm almost finished downloading Syberia 2. The journey continues!..LOL. I haven't been this excited about an adventure game in a while.
