Beneath a Steel Sky

This game was pretty well advertised, because the scenes in it were drawn by a famous cartoonist: Dave Gibbons. Well, the graphics are really good, but I can't say I liked the game itself too much.

Story

A helicopter is transporting a very important prisoner (us) when a malfunction occurs and the chopper crashes. We manage to escape (only just), but now we have to get out of the city and we don't even know who we are and why we were imprisoned (a little too convenient -- amnesia). As usual, we find out incredible things about the city and ourselves.

Opinion

I feel a little bad for not liking this game, because I can't really explain what the problem with it is. The graphics are okay, the music would also do (could be much better, but that doesn't necessarily ruin the game) and the story is pretty good. I don't know why, but it just failed to interest me. I had to force myself to play it. To tell you the truth, the game is increasingly exciting towards the end, but that's not the best way to write an adventure game.

I can't really comment on this one. Try it. If you like it, okay, if you don't, pass it.
