A so, so first installment in the first person adventure series
Atlantis: The Lost Tales does a great job at interpreting the events that led to the sinking of the isle of Atlantis, and therefore, for that alone it is worth playing. However, the quality of the game is a bit all over the place. Some bits are as great as you could ever want them to be, some other bits are just a trudge to go through. The game has a lot of cool puzzles though, pieces of interactivity that really stand out. However, at times, you will get lost and have no way of telling what needs to be done next, what it is that you are meant to accomplish. At any rate, the game packs some really well interpreted dialogues and, if you love a bit of a dramatic interpretation, sort of like a well done drama school play, this game will serve you as good as you'd want it to! Overall, what I expected from this game, and didn't really receive was a more rounded experience but I guess some will not mind the ups and downs. After all, the reinterpretation of the Atlantis going down is so cool and so rewarding. Play it and if you like it, the rest of the Atlantis games won't disappoint either.
