The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief

Short version: 91% If Agatha Christie would have written a heist thriller, it would have probably been a lot like The Raven: an interesting whodunit wrapped in an exciting jewel thievery, all presented as a three-part, solid point ‘n’ click adventure game with a clear, comfortable interface. Long version: Playing through The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief is like sitting down to watch ‘Murder on the Orient...

For a point-and-click adventure game, the main character is endearing, the overal scenery graphics are movie quality (there are weird glitches with the character though), and while it was fairly predictable, it was still good old fashioned fun! The music really fit this game as a time piece, and the dialog was well put together, if not a little long in the tooth. I gave the entire 3 part series of the Raven: Legacy...

This is a classic old-school style point-and-click adventure with some quality graphics, superb voice acting, and a brilliant orchestral soundtrack. It has a strong nostalgic feel of a Poirot / Pink Panther whodunnit. My one criticism is that the puzzles are pretty simple - sometimes you feel you are just clicking things for the character to reveal the story. However, the atmosphere and superb voice acting will...

I am not one to play many adventure games or point n' click games, but when a mystery like this one is involved I couldn't resist. The game has a lot of atmosphere for a very good story that is not transparent. I enjoyed the game very much, the graphics were well done and fit the time of the story very well. It's a pretty simple point and click adventure game, although sometimes it can be difficult to figure out how...

A series packaged in (the now common) monthly Chapters has finally reached it's conclusion. Fans of Poiret and Agatha Christie Novel style games should pick this up. Or if you simply enjoy good detective stories done well. I enjoyed the puzzles and the voice acting was strong in places but weak in others. The enviroments repeated themselves often as you played similar events from different points of view but it was...

This is a perfect example of how NOT to do an adventure game. You have entirely uninituitive puzzles, pixel hunting, a score system that punishes you for using a cheat to look at all hot objects (should be free and expected for a game like this) But there's more, the character walks slow, talks slow and talks about everything at a pace that would make the pope rage. It's just a VERY slow plodding pace and the...

Not worth your time or money. I enjoy point and click games, but this one is boring, slow paced and nothing is left for your own imagination. You are a detective who has to solve the riddle about who stole a valuable jewel that was supposed to be shown for the first time in a Egyptian museum. Along the way you will learn a lot about different characters; their problems, dreams and what they do in general. I thought...
