I do agree with the postings that there is probably a good game underneath the failures in the control system and flakiness of the game engine etc but it really is a struggle to come to enjoy the thing. Basic failures like the number of clicks it takes to save and load, and one does a LOT of this in WW, I mean, who on earth decided that one has to quit from a game with all the resultant "are you sure" before allowing a saved game to be loaded ? This is symptamatic of the whole game, it has some great concepts but a lousy implementation. I also have a major problem with it being so DARK, I have gamma turned right up, my screen turned right up and still I cant see treasure chests etc lurking in corners of the room, and have torchlight spells and EVERYONE holding a torch !
If you are thinking of buying the game my advice would be get it from a supplier who allow returns - you may love it, or you may be driven to frustration by its anomolies and failures.
Oh, and the puzzles are VERY obscure.
