It was OK, I guess [Posted on 2007-03-25] I have just recently finished the game. I only paid $[...] for it, so it was a good deal. Everyone knows of the adventure game genre. There were some good things about the game: the graphics were beautiful, foreign places. The game plays very straight forward: linear. There are only a few puzzles, one I found a little tricky. If you like this type of game, you might really like it. Not too many mind-twisting headaches. Overall there wasn't too much too it. A lot of dialog. It seems to me the game companys are making their game shorter and easier these days. I hope this review was useful.
Nibiru [Posted on 2007-07-23] I liked this game because it has beautiful/amazing graphics, and you don't have to run around slaughtering anybody or chopping heads (I don't like bloody games). This game is very relaxing, it's like watching a movie and also participating. This is definitely not an action game, it's more like Nancy Drew. The ending was a little disappointing but I had a great time playing, and I am happy to have this game.
Lame dialogue leading to anticlimax [Posted on 2007-10-10] Features include annoying main character with lame stilted dialogue (eventually I just clicked through all speech, of which there's tons) and unbelievable character actions. Simple linear game play. Main menu hides in the upper right hand corner - have to hover over it a while, or you'll never get out because the escape key does nothing. I quickly looked up a walkthrough so I could just get on with seeing the semi-pretty pictures and be done with it.
It's a good game if you like to go back and forth asking a guy for a bucket of water. There were a couple clever puzzles.
A fun, well-animated adventure [Posted on 2008-04-25] If you like third person adventure games that includes intrigue and murder without too much gore, this might be one for you. Since there are other things written on the plot summary, I'm not going to relate the plot here; just tell you what I thought of the game. I will tell you that most of the story is good but some of it is not that great. Sorry if that sounds vague. For most of the game, you explore and solve inventory puzzles. Sometimes it can be a pain trying to figure out what to do with items. The best thing about this game is the array of places to explore. There are European street scenes, underground tunnels, a Mexican jungle and more. The game is very well animated and has good sound effects; especially the rain. So if you sometimes get antsy exploring the same fifteen rooms throughout an entire game, you might want to consider Nibiru. The voice acting is decent; not great, but decent. And the characters are fairly well animated. There aren't too many difficult puzzles, but there are some, (warning! there is one puzzle that is really tedious!) One of the worst things about this game was the ending. It was unrealistic and a little unsatisfying. I'm not going to tell the end here, because I don't want to spoil it, but I wasn't impressed. But, if you just want to play something different, then consider this game.
A Very Good Game [Posted on 2008-06-15] Ni.bi.ru is a very good puzzle/mystery game. The story is addicting, the graphic beautiful and the voice of the characters are great! Perfect of me, since I like learning English! (My frist language is French, that why... But I like improving my English's skills!)
