    Great game, but a big big shame that the movements in the game are sooooo sloooow. It`s incredible in our day and time, that it was released with such a major flaw. Even the very first computergames had more speed than this!

    This game started off good but just became increasingly frustrating caused by situations using illogical reasoning!! for example: why on earth would you strap a stick of dynamite onto a rat in order to open a door?? it stands to reason if the inital charge was not sufficient just use more to accomplish the task!!!. It are instances like these that just ruined the game for me... also the This game started off good but just became increasingly frustrating caused by situations using illogical reasoning!! for example: why on earth would you strap a stick of dynamite onto a rat in order to open a door?? it stands to reason if the inital charge was not sufficient just use more to accomplish the task!!!. It are instances like these that just ruined the game for me... also the puzzles near the end became just too convoluted( think of rubik's cube) taking to joy out of an other wise interesting story. When will these people learn how to make a game using everyday "logical" scenarios?? what a disappointment...what a shame!… Expand

    Pathetic foolure if you ask me, as it only serves to enunciate the dying adventure genre. Why was there no trip to Nibiru? The game vegetates on Earth, and is uneventful and the graphics are not exactly spectacular. You'd be better to go with the other title released by this publisher, 'Voyage: Inspired by Jules Verne'.

    The game could have been fun. It is slow paced, which is fine, and is reminiscent of the Kings Quest style. Overall the actual gameplay is OK, and the puzzles are fun. The reason I stopped playing this? The absolute WORST voice actor is the lead role. He sounds like Siri, pre update. I have no idea why they chose an actor who sounds like a computer generated voice, or a telephoneThe game could have been fun.

I have no idea why they chose an actor who sounds like a computer generated voice, or a telephone voice mail "push 2 now". It was so incredibly distracting i just could not play anymore. I tried with the sound off, but then you miss some clues which are strictly auditory. Too bad, It was a fun little game.… Expand

    Nibiroute ou la déroute totale du jeu vidéo est (encore) l’un de ces jeux d’aventure de mon cul qu’on chie directement dans un papier cadeau (c’est pour offrir : tiens, un bon gros jeu d’aventure de merde, juste pour toi ! j’espère que tu te feras bien chier !). La version anglaise internationale est appelée NiBiRu : Age of Secrets, soit dit en passant. Mais on s’en fout en fait.

La version anglaise internationale est appelée NiBiRu : Age of Secrets, soit dit en passant. Mais on s’en fout en fait.

    La VF n’est pas terrible, le jeu est d’une lenteur pas croyable et la jouabilité est complètement tordue avec des puzzles de mes deux et des énigmes totalement illogiques pour ne pas dire absconses. L’histoire mystico-délirante fait penser aux torches-culs de Maxime Chattam, à savoir les pseudo-bouquins dont on ne se sert que pour s’essuyer (on ne les lit pas, c’est du pur vide qui fait un appel d’air à chaque page).

    A moins de suivre une « soluce », c’est-à-dire une solution qui transforme cet étron de banqueroute pas ludique en mini-jeu de piste, on ne risque pas de finir cette saloperie à moins d’avoir du temps à perdre à n’en plus pouvoir. Et ce serait dommage, car le temps, c’est du putain d’argent, bordel !    … Expand

    But even with all of this quality presentation the gameplay is still held back a notch by the limited scope and quirky nature of the puzzles, repetitive backtracking between locations, and an overall slower pace than most competing adventure titles.

    A stereotypical classic adventure. Future Games has done this one up in the traditional style popularized way back when by the likes of Sierra and LucasArts, so if you're a fan of this sort of old-school adventuring and don't demand that game designers reinvent the wheel, you can't go wrong here.

    A good game is smudged by some obvious flaws in the gameplay that prevent it from standing with the greats. But fans of classic gaming will get a generally enjoyable game due to the story, inventory puzzling, diverse characters, and good looking graphics.
