Video Game Reviews of Moment Of Silence
Customer Review: A Game For Intelligent Adults
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Moment Of Silence" is best regarded as a literary adventure game with its emphasis on plot, character, and dialogue. The opening cut sequence is the best of any game I have played with the possible exception of "Indigo Prophecy." Peter is just an ordinary guy. He simply starts out to obtain some information to help a neighbor. From the cut scene, of course, we know that this is a conspiracy game. Peter does not believe in conspiracies. He believes that conspiracy people are paranoid. When he finally understands, he acts!
This is a game of many long dialogues. The dialogues serve the purposes of advancing the plot, defining character, and providing clues and "triggers." If you skip throught the dialogues, you will miss "triggers" that will prevent you from completing the game. Do exhaust the dialogue in the antique shop. It is very poignant.
Of course, there are no puzzles to slow the game down. The game picks up momentum, and you would not want to waste time solving some dumb slider, color, or sound puzzles. Rather, there are problems to be solved. These problems can be solved with game knowledge, logic, and what is at hand.
The voice acting is superb, certainly of movie quality. The voices of the individual characters are distinct and exactly the voices that you expect them to have. Between the voices and the dialogues, you will remember every character in the game.
The graphics are generally excellent. Certainly there are some repeated stock scenes but no more than you would expect in a game of this complexity.
Finally, the game has a great wow finish. This is a game that you will long remember.
