  1. BonusStage

    The game presents an epic storyline of knowledge and history, breathtaking music and ambiance, and a beautiful, photo-realistic world to explore steeped in a rich back-story of factual information from one of the earliest time periods in human civilization.
  2. CPUGamer

    The in-game music was a semi-prehistoric rendering that was appropriate for the certain settings in which the game takes place.
  3. Game Chronicles
    81
    The premise is totally original and the presentation is flawless, and you can’t help but leave the game knowing more about prehistoric man and the time in which he lived.
  4. Gamers Europe

    For 99% of the game, each and every puzzle feels absolutely wonderfully worked, giving you the right amount of pleasure, for just the right amount of thought and work required. But this concentration on the puzzle aspect has only served to the detriment of the storyline, which is alarmingly simplistic and lacking on that depth that the likes of Still Life and Fahrenheit have in abundance.
  5. Quandary
    70
    Echo: Secrets of the Lost Cavern doesn't stretch the boundaries of game making, and there is nothing really new to be encountered, but it is a polished and well made product that provides good solid gaming and a pleasant weekend adventuring.
  6. Cheat Code Central
    70
    It plays it too safe and as a results is just a little too familiar and uninspired.
  7. PC Format
    51
    Utterly standard adventure devoid of novelty. [Christmas 2005, p.102]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story is flat, not much surprisingly good parts, the frescoes are fine and music was fine, though. I was afraid the ceremony was to sacrifice the kid to awake the spirits.… Expand
