The game was challenging without being overly difficult. Graphics were very good with many locations. I agree with some that the story was mediocre at best, but if you want a good story, read the book and don't think you'll get one from a game.
To me, playing this game was kind of like being in a dream - not much made sense. Some apparently like it, but I thought it was dumb and a complete waste of time and money.
The story is good, reasonable and followed in the game. The HO scenes are well done. Graphics and sound are excellent. The use of the Hint button during the game gives excellent info about what to do, which is good because you need it. That's the only thing I didn't like about the game - obscure use of objects. Also, too much running around - pick up an object on one screen; use it many screens away.
