Legacy: Dark Shadows just isn’t fun. It tries so hard to mimic great adventure games like that of The Longest Journey but, sadly, only does so graphically which isn’t a good thing.
-
Playing the game can be a numbing experience. Antiquated graphics, horrible voice-overs, clumsy storytelling, boring characters, derivative settings, pixel hunts, simplistic puzzles, and severe bugs have a way of doing that. If Legacy can do something wrong, it does.
-
The content isn't even worth a laugh, and the story is so full of holes (is this based on a Croatian comic or show? It seems to expect you to know the cast in advance) and clichés that it has no value unless you're a die-hard fan of Eastern European culture.

Computer Gaming WorldThe only thing Legacy leaves you with is a feeling of relief when it's over. [Apr 2005, p.88]
-
PC GamerMaking matters far, far worse is the game's tendency to randomly crash to the desktop when you enter new areas. If you must play this game (and I emphasize the word "if"), remember to save often. [Apr 2005, p.73]
-
If you loved the immersive game play of titles like "Syberia" or "The Longest Journey"... go play those games again, and don’t waste your time with this weak B-grade stinker.

Pelit (Finland)Takes adventure games to a new level. With new, I mean "my God, I have never seen anything this bad" and with level, I mean a crappy bottomless pit. [May 05]
-
PC FormatA truly spectacular failure. Long may it live in infamy. [May 2005, p.105]
