There is a review of it in the current issue of PCPowerPlay... it's supposed to be ok for an adventure game but there are a few flaws that make it quite aggrevating to play..

I've got it. The plot is childish imo... wasn't really my cup of tea although I did finish it. Hardly any humour either...well they tried but it just wasn't funny. The control system was pretty good.. I didn't find any of the flaws that Acid speaks of (unless you count the booooring story as a flaw).

The voice acting is ok, music is pretty good but there only seems to be 2 main tracks. The gfx on the other hand are the best I've ever seen in an adventure game.

I am nearly finished, I found it a bit easy but fun to play. It is not as good as the Gabrielle Knight series the movement and graphics was pretty good, IMHO it was short but fun

The people who made the Syberia games were all assimi.. hired by Ubisoft but I don't think the rights to any of their games were. So I don't think we'll see another Syberia.

I think I got that right. Too late to be diggin' up facts and stuff.
