Belief and Betrayal (PC DVD)

from: Lighthouse Interactive

June 20, 2008
This game looks and sounds great but is dull to play. The locations are nice, as is the art work, and the voice acting isn't that bad. However, the few puzzles in the game are not logical - they just involve random clicking - and they're far too easy. The game is totally linear, which makes it feel unimaginative. How the characters reach their conclusions is unclear and a lot of the plot (which had some interesting ideas) is just unexplained nonsense. The interface could be slicker and, although there's a fair bit of searching to do, there is no satisfaction in the results. It's also really short.
I think this game was rushed out around the time of the Da Vinci Code etc. A pity, as it could have been much more fun...
