This game is a must-buy for Adventure Game Players. No other adventure game genre has such length and details. There are a few tricky puzzles to overcome that will try your patients. Everyone who I have talked with says this is there favorite adventure game. There are many chapters. Most recent adventure games are too quick to play and are not always worth the money.

I knew what the game was - so I got exactly what I expected. The game is full of beautiful graphics and I just wanted to have fun going through. I completely rest playing the game - just what I needed for my vacation. The only thing was that the main character is sometimes rude and he speaks in some rather irritated tone - I think that the main character should be more patient and kind, something like Nancy Drew. But everything else was fine.

Suspenseful and Fun

Very enjoyable game. So many neat places to explore. Some puzzles weren't very difficult, but there were enough challenging ones to keep it fun. The rain and thunder were so realistic! At first I didn't realize you could left and right click on objects, even in your inventory. There were no technical problems. The game ran great on XP.

Great Story

I really liked this game. The graphics and music are great. SOme of the movements are alittle slow going. Some of the puzzles are challenging, but not too challenging. I dont think you will need any hints or walkthroughs in this game, it is pretty easy to figure out what to do next. Fans of Syberia and The Longest Journey will really enjoy this. I think the playability is easy, and the interface is easy as well. I loved it. I dont think it has a great replay value, but the game is a decent length. It has 6 chapters and I would say approximatley 30 hours of game time. All in all I would highly recommend it. IF you are a fan of this type of game this one is for you!!!

I have been playing adventure games for awhile now. starting with myst on up to todays latest, i have played quite a few. After playing Syberia my whole outlook on adventure games took a turn. I couldn't get enough of 3rd person adventures. playing through other such great games like The Longest Journey, Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island Series was a treat. Then when I came across this game, The Black Mirror I knew I was in for a treat. I enjoy the adventure genre because I can get away from the real world for awhile. This game does just that. The graphics, though dark and moody, are rather beautiful and actually, in my opinion, rival those of landscapes seen in Syberia. The music and sound effects are of extremely high quality. It wouldn't surprise me if Dolby Surround had a hand in it. The screen size is a respectable 800X600. This is something I am really skeptical about. And the story thus far is very captivating and very dark. I actually want to keep playing to see what happens next. The puzzles do require some thinking but I haven't had to seek the help of a guide yet. That says a lot for me! Overall I give this game 5 stars because it thus far offers everything I like in adventures. Awesome eye candy, great sound, great story!

I absolutely loved this game! The game play is so intuitively designed that as beginner/intermediate level gamer I was able to play the WHOLE game without ever having to look at a walkthrough - which made the game so much more satisfying! The puzzles are logical and many clues are scattered throughout the game to help move you along - very "player friendly". The puzzles are not too hard, but just tricky enough to provide a sense of delight when they are solved. This game was so addicting, I could hardly wait to get home and play it in the evening. It ranks right up there with my favorite games like Longest Journey, Phantasmagoria and Syberia for enjoyable gaming.

Absolutely BRIALLIANT!

I simply dont understand the people who havent enjoyed this game. Simply for the fact that its one of the BEST adventure games to come out with counterparts like Longest Journey and Syberia.
If one is a True adventure game genre fan i cannot possibly conceive of why the game was not liked? Beautiful, relaistic graphics,Good music, excellent and not unsolvable puzzles and a terrific climax!!The game delivers much more than it promises!
I wish that many more of such games are made to keep up the adventure game genre alive.
If i had to give 6 stars i de think they werent enough for this game!Try it guys, its one helluva great game!

Very good

I 've played over 500 adventure games. And usually, only the very old ones are actually fun. This game is highly atmospheric, very nice plot, great sound & graphics.
A few minor bugs will not disturb your pleasance. It was one of the few newer adventures I played continuously without a walkthrough.

Highly recommended.

At last .. A good adventure game ..

The adventure gaming genre has been sufferring since the introduction of 3D Graphics .. everybody was into action games where development is easy via Engines and where more 3D can be implemented for show-off..

Since long, we didn't have a good adventure game .. If you are an adventure gamer, go ahead for this game ..

The only drawback here is that the graphics are a bit outdated.. The backgrounds are nice but the moving objects are pure 2D .. which isn't meant for 21st century !!
