    Anyone who loves a mystery and has an investigative mind will get many hours of pleasure from Still Life.

    Still Life is generally enjoyable, with good quality puzzles and an excellent atmosphere. Still Life doesn't venture far from the typical adventure formula but for what it is, the game is commendable.
  3. Game Chronicles

    Excellent visuals and voice acting really draw you into this film-like adventure experience known as Still Life.
  4. WHAM! Gaming

    For the hardcore gamer, there should be enough here to keep their interest through until the ending.

    As usual, this type of game controls better on a PC and character movement feels slow and clunky with the Xbox controller.
  6. Official Xbox Magazine

    With too much backtracking between locations..., short play time, and a frustratingly inconclusive ending (closure be damned), Still Life limits its appeal to the already converted. [June 2005, p.81]

    Yes, the story is intriguing and wanting to know what happens next will drive most players to battle through the gameplay tedium, but the experience the plot delivers is in no way exceptional and certainly nothing that couldn't be surpassed by the rental of a decent DVD.

Si les graphismes sont tout juste corrects,Jeu d'aventure "standard", c'est-à-dire qui respecte le cahier des charges du cancre vidéoludique. Si les graphismes sont tout juste corrects, l'interface se révèle perfectible pour ne pas dire lourdingue le plus souvent ; la VF est néanmoins satisfaisante et la musique d'ascenseur est fort sympathique.

    Comme de coutume dans ce genre de jeu mal fait, entre les énigmes qui passent pour des bugs et les bugs qui ressemblent à des énigmes (à l'insu de l'incompétence notoire du développeur stagiaire) on ne sait plus où donner de la tête pour colmater les brèches de cette épave qui prend l'eau de toutes parts.

    En outre, le pseudo-jeu présenté ici est français, ce qui n'est pas pour nous rassurer mais plutôt pour nous conforter dans ce que nous en pensions dès le départ : un échec qui n'a d'égal que sa veule prétention de novice plagieur de série américaine de bas niveau.    … Expand
