    This traditional adventure game offers a few attractive scenes, but otherwise it's an exercise in tedium that will disappoint even avid adventure gamers.

    While it remains an innovative and highly laudable idea which I hope will one day be put to better use, in Jazz and Faust it fails to be more than a misguided gimmick. The ‘two adventures in one’ angle fails because even with this feature, the game is extremely short.

    Ugly, boring, terribly written, and acted out even worse, Jazz and Faust is a box with plastic that should be avoided at all costs.

    Simultaneously boring and frustrating, with a design that buries the needle on the irritation-o-meter. [Oct 2002, p.115]

    Unbearable drek like Jazz and Faust is the reason some people keep saying that the adventure genre is dead and buried. [Oct 2002, p.102]

    Jazz and Faust is hard-pressed to make your pet bulldog sit up and take notice, despite the rump roast you cleverly glued to the screen. [Sept 2002, p.79]

    Dull and soulless. An effort in tedium.
