    The same-old, same-old: the same static screens, decrepit point-and-click interface, crushingly slow pace, and confusing layout. [Winter 2002, p.105]
  2. Myst III has so much going for it, in that clearly much effort was put into the plot, the acting, and the richly detailed pre-rendered graphics. But the whole experience never gels into an enjoyable game, and the world of Myst, while scenic, feels too static to be captivating.
  3. 20
    Keep this out of your Xbox, it may infect it. The kind of game that makes you appreciate mediocrity.
  4. If you could somehow combine watching paint dry and reading a choose- your-own-adventure novel, you'd have Myst III.

This game must be rated for what it is keepin in mind the specific genre it belongs to. So if you don't like this genre (ambient quicktime vr point&click adventure) don't bother at all ! But for what it offers (great graphics, sound, story) IT MUST BE RATED HIGH ! It's a relaxing, different, mind challenging adventure. Full Review »
