Gamespot: The Immortals of Terra: A Perry Rhodan Adventure Review

Perry Rhodan, at least according to our limited research, is the lead character in the biggest-selling series of sci-fi books ever published. That will surely come as big news to befuddled stateside geeks, at least until they read a little bit further and see that Perry is mostly big with the kids in Germany. With this question answered, you can now rest easy knowing how some guy you've never heard of managed to get his name tacked on as the subtitle to developer 3d-io's space-faring adventure The Immortals of Terra. That, however, is the easiest mystery to solve about this point-and-clicker because the game itself is loaded with maddeningly illogical puzzles. It would take less time to learn German and read all of Perry's more than 2,000 adventures in their native language than it would to figure out this game without fleeing to the sanity-saving safety of an online walk-through.

The Good:
* Heavily detailed sci-fi epic storyline with real depth
* Innovative visual design
* First-rate voice acting.

The Bad:
* Storyline is almost impenetrable if you're unfamiliar with Perry Rhodan
* Many illogical puzzles
* Derivative "pick up everything that isn't nailed down" game structure. (PC, The Immortals of Terra: A Perry Rhodan Adventure) 5.5/10
