I think this is a reformulation, because the original Syberia was BIG. I had to wait to buy it until this version came out so I could get it on backup CD (I can't do downloads). Maybe they lost too much by stripping it down.
Cons:
1. Kate looks pasted into the background, literally like she was cut out of paper and stuck on. Weird.
2. No choice of screen size, skill level, and no map.
3. You have to refer to the Hints constantly to find out what you're supposed to do next. You can't do it intuitively.
4. It takes a loong time to figure out how to click just right to transfer stuff from inventory. Should it really be that hard?
Pros:
1. Kate has an appealing voice.
I haven't even finished this game, and I'm not sure I'll bother. Too bad - I was really looking forward to getting my hands on this one :#
I don't recommend this game.
