Hmm, reviwing this one is a bit of a tough task because different people will have different opinions, spread all over the spectrum, ranging from "What a Game!!" to "What a DUD!!"..
Anyways, this is an adventure game, with a compelling storyline. The game puts you in the shoes of various characters as the story progresses. You get to travel between alternate realties, do a lot of talking, watch a lot of cut scenes, and...well that's pretty much about it...The gameplay definitely takes a backseat as you "watch" through the game. Most of the time you are just running around, talking to people, solving simple puzzles, which are very few in numbers and many of them lack quality as well.

The storyline seems to be ok, especially towards the end, when it picks up (that means its boring for a looong time in the beginning) BUT then it all ends up too quickly without answering anything (well, almost)...

I had heard a lot about the graphics and sound in this game but it failed to impress me even in that regard.

My rating:
6/10 (2 days of gameplay wasted)

Well, so far my experience has been (with 1-2 exceptions) that
Movie -> Game = Dud
Game -> Movie = Dud again...

I would largely agree with that statement. I saw a bit of Gamer TV too, and the pirates of the carribean game did not look too exciting so I changed channels.. Big Grin
