The gameplay is kind of boring, but the story is fantastic. Graphics are okay. I finally got it for PC in January... it's a very good game, thanks to the great story, but the puzzles are really easy (and involve a lot of hand holding) and a lot of it is just "go there, get the thing, then go over there, then do that, then come back"... I know they were trying something new, to deal with the death of the traditional, high-budget adventure game (with the original The Longest Journey being one of the last great traditional adventure games), but it didn't completely work. It's also quite short compared to the 30 hour TLJ... oh well. It's the interesting story that really carries it.
