Review:

The amount of locations was massive but the fact was that if you were having a good game then you would actually visit less than a hundredth of them. This padding would be unacceptable in most games but not here.

The plot and action actually exceeds that of previous Level 9 games and is extremely playable. Quite rightly a classic and the first part in one of the best adventure game trilogies ever!
