This would be your average point and click game, if it weren't for the compelling story and the great characters. This game takes some getting used to, and I nearly gave up playing after half an hour. I'm glad I kept going, though.

The seven different stories are worthy of a good short stories book. The graphics look a little outdated, but they do a great job at reproducing the atmosphere of an creepy abandoned amusement park. The voices are more than acceptable (better than most Dreamcatcher games), and the musical score is fantastic.

I agree it can be difficult at some points, but it's always up to you to decide how long you want to spend figuring out a puzzle. Walkthroughs are all over the internet.

This game rates lower than "The Longest Journey", but only because the latter was such a grandiose game. "Seven Games of the Soul" is definitely in my top ten for adventure games. It's the kind of game you are sad to finish, because you know you are going to miss the characters.

The game sounds like it would be cool- you wander around an amusement park and deal with the condemned. Well, it's not. The graphics are out of date, the voice acting sounds like a badly dubbed movie, and the point and click puzzles make no sense. Also, you're in an amusement park but you can't interact with the rides. I could forgive all this if the story was good. Instead, the storyline is just a bunch of weird events strung together. For example, one of the "sins" you have to deal with is a scientist who gets offered immortality. He says no so you pile little rocks around his house and leave. And that's IT. Also, the puzzles are so illogical they're impossible to solve. It took me 15 minutes to figure out I had to get to the secret passage behind the refrigerator by lifting the fridge with a complicated rope system and a teddy bear. Yup, you lift a refrigerator by using a teddy bear as a counterweight. I just pointed and clicked on everything to solve the game. It took 4 long hours where I kept shaking my head and saying "WHAT'S GOING ON?". The only good thing about the game was that some of the FMV's were fun to watch. They didn't add to the plot, but they showed some creepy images. If you want a good adventure game I'd go with The Longest Journey. I just wish I hadn't wasted my 20 bucks on this one.

I kinda liked it at first. I love puzzle, gotta figure things out kind of games, but after a while this one got pretty dumb. The graphics are pretty 'archaic' as far as 3D animation goes now days. It's definitely not Titan A.E. quality. Some of the puzzles were impossible to figure out in my opinion. Like I said, it started out okay, seemed like a really intense story but it got pretty dull and dumb pretty quick.
