Adventure Gamers: The Experiment review

There's a truly solid foundation here, but a few too many things went wrong in the execution to call it a success. Although it remains a formula with tremendous potential, this is one experiment that needs to go back to the drawing board.

The Good: Revolutionary interface creates an unparalleled feeling of immersion; story and characters are well-written with lots of depth.

The Bad: Voice acting is simply bad; numerous glitches impede gameplay; extremely slow pace; non-ending retroactively kills the story; becomes increasingly unpolished the deeper you get.

Bottom Line: A terrific way to spend 6 hours but a mediocre way to spend 15. The interface is a strong first step towards a new way of playing adventure games, but only the most patient of gamers will be inclined to endure the game's other flaws and see it through to the end. (PC, The Experiment) 3/5
