Video Game Reviews of The 11th Hour
Customer Review: Great game, not worthy of a "Sequel"
Summary: 4 Stars
Well if you read my 7th Guest review, you would know the story about when my sister got the game and how it was cool but scary. Well a year or two later (dont remember when THIS game came out), my sister picked up this game since she loved the original game "7th Guest". Well since I was scared of 7th Guest when I was little I was thinking "Great another game that's going to make me crap myself" (I was around 6-7 at the time when this game came out). Well I saw her play it and it's not a freaky and it's not as cool. My sis let me borrow it and the patch over the summer and I beat it, here's the review.
Story: Well the story for 7th Guest was about how 6 guests went into Henry Stauf's mansion and never came out. Well this one isn't as cool. You play as Carl Denning who one day receives this "gamebook" and finds out his girlfriend who is a reporter has been locked into the Stauf Mansion. So you go in there and figure out what's going on. (7/10)
Gameplay: Exactly the same as 7th Guest, go around solve puzzles, except there's one or two twists. You also have to go around and solve these riddles which are EXTREMELY hard and don't make sense. Also I'd like to add that this game is harder than 7th Guest, this game makes 7th Guest look like a Mathblaster game, no offense. (8/10)
Sound: Well the music is somewhat the same as 7th Guest, they have an eerie feeling and they freak you out. Some have upbeat tempos and some are just freaky. Some of the music is the same so you have to give props to that. Again the music sets the scene. (10/10)
Graphics: This is my favorite part of the review for this game...the Graphics. The thing I really like about this game is that it's the same graphics, nothing has changed. The really cool thing about this game is that your in the same EXACT mansion, everything looks the same except older. The only thing I didn't like about this game compared to 7th Guest was that the real actors in this game weren't actually in the mansion when shown like 7th Guest, it shows them as in a movie where they are in a real place and not a cartoony mansion. But a couple times they are like at the end of the game. (9/10)
Outro: This game is cool and anyone who loved the 7th Guest should get this game. It's definately not as cool as 7th Guest but it's still worthy of a play. My sister let me borror with the patch a while ago and i'm probably going to buy it sometime soon so I can beat it again. I would say pick this game up if it's $20 or less new or used, you might also want to buy a strategy guide for this one cause it's harder but that's up to you, I personally had no problem. I would also like to add that this game isn't as freaky as 7th Guest but still fun to play.
