    Not many developers would take the time and energy needed to recreate these famous sites with the care and attention that they require or conduct the many hours of research that this game calls for. Not many games can claim to give you the feeling of actually being there.
  2. GameSpot

    The game was obviously made by people who love the subject matter, and that affection comes across in every element.
  3. Quandary

    The Omega Stone is an imaginative tale that is more ambitious than its predecessor and manages to weave into the story a shadowy brotherhood that seems to have links to the Templars, and hints at further ambiguous, if not sinister motives.
  4. Adrenaline Vault

    The generally high production values combined with the unending series of coherent brain-stretching enigmas make this worth a serious look.
  5. GameSpy

    The difficulty of the game's puzzles (aggravated by a poor interface), combined with tedious mazes and trudging back and forth through emptiness killed my enjoyment of the game.
  6. Adventure Gamers
    60
    The graphics and interface are vastly improved and the puzzles more organically connected to the game world; the game as a whole is far more compelling.
  7. Four Fat Chicks
    50
    Simply stated, TOS is a mediocre puzzle game at best. It really is a shame because the designers came so close to crafting a game that would forever reside on your shelf with the classics.

    Running back and forth became tedious. The patch worked fine for a partial install. Overall story and puzzles okay - I would have liked more humour.
