Video Game Reviews of The Experiment
Customer Review: The Experiment
Summary: 3 Stars
Here you have to manage around by loocking through a camera and this is an experiement by it self. It is confusing and it is very easy to loose contol of your wherabouth. Most of the places are too dark. There are some very difficult riddles and I believe the game would be more fun and interresting if you where allowed to walk around in the rooms yourself than to control another person. The grapic is excelent with a lot of places to go so i believe there are many who would love this game because of that. The story is also very good. I would have rated it higher if I was allowed to search the rooms by myself.Customer Review: One of the most immersive games ever made.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Experiment is one of the most unique and immersive games ever made. Any other stand-alone product pales in comparison to this game's ability make you feel like part of the story.
Coming from Lexis Numerique, a veteran developer of alternate-reality games (the sort of game that calls your real-life computer or IM account ala' murder-mystery role-playing), The Experiment puts you in the role of yourself, using the security interface of a mysterious ship-borne laboratory, guiding a survivor through the ruins to find out what the hell happened to everybody.
All you can do is operate the ship's computers, using security cameras to keep up with Lea, your companion, reading files and personal emails to find passwords and puzzle solutions, and flashing nearby lights or objects to draw Lea's attention. Unable to speak or communicate directly to your charge, you have to "nod" a camera to answer yes-or-no questions.
Unfortunately, the lenses are smudged a little. The interface takes a while to get used to, and the translation has a few potentially puzzle-breaking mistakes. Keep a walkthrough bookmarked in case you get stuck. It's also a challenging adventure game, so it might not appeal to some Halo-trained run-and-gun enthusiasts. Still, if you've ever loved adventure games, good writing, or unique gameplay concepts, you owe this game a try. Demos are available at the website.
Customer Review: Not my cup of tea
Summary: 1 Stars
No, this is definitely not the typical point and click adventure games. You aren't actually even moving a character...you basically control a ship and the main character moves through the ship as you turn on lights and open doors for her. The interface is strange, with an overabundance of separate windows that exist on your screen, including the cameras you are controlling. I found this game to be frustrating and cumbersome, with none of the actual interesting aspects of adventure games, such as exploring an area, solving puzzles, interacting with characters, and beautiful scenery/graphics. Customer Review: Extremely annoying interface
Summary: 2 Stars
If you want enjoyable game play with interesting visuals do not play this game. If you like to figure out how to program your new television or other software set up, then you might like this game. It's very cumbersome to try and get the main character to go/do want you want. You have to move a alot of windows around to see anything at all. Not fun at all. Very slow paced.Customer Review: I also wish I could play this game

The game would not play. After investigating on the company website I found my video card was not sufficient even though it met the requirements stated on the box. Check company website to see if your card will work.
