Nikopol: Secrets Of The Immortals (PC DVD)

Played on Windows Vista 64bit(but didnt work!).I was enjoying Nikopol's 1st level, up until the point where it stopped working, and i had to uninstall it, as it doesn't actually work with Vista(saves wont actually save). I have given it 3 stars, even because of this, as i am sure i would had enjoyed it to completion.I couldn't find any solutions for fixing it with Vista64, and as Lighthouse went bust, and their help forums with it.Now, since writing this review, i have managed to play Nikopol on a relatives laptop recently(running Windows XP)and it worked fine. It is a decent P'n'C game, with challenging puzzles, but for me, the story was too far fetched & far too short. The feel of the FMV's in it were far to artistic for my tastes too. So, still Slightly disappointed after playing it now, but 3 stars is its max in my eyes.

This game was a lot of fun to play, and had an interesting storyline. The puzzles are pretty good and mostly inventory based. However, the game was a bit short. It's definitely worth buying at a reduced price.+It installs and plays wonderfully on XP and XP Pro.-Installs and plays a bit buggy on Vista Home Premium 32bit and Vista Ultimate 64bit.

It is high quality point and click game with great puzzles environments and engaging story. Based on a comic I wish I could get my hands on. It has a definite stamp of craftsmanship that is rarely ever this tangible, in any media never mind a game. The problem with it is that it is inaccurately abbreviated rendition of the story it derives from. Unfortunately the abbreviation has made the game only 2 hours long. Despite this I was really taken in by the game its puzzles and world/narrative. I was craving more and more and found a movie has been made based on the same source material that explains some of the history and characters although it does not completely gel with the game it is still a good movie that is bound to be new to your friends. I heartily recommend you get a copy of this game. It can be purchased via the steam network Immortal [DVD ]

This game has excellent graphics and a number of time sequenced, logical and inventry based puzzles to keep you busy. Throughout the game, you discover interesting bits of infomation about the background to this strange story, but by the end of the game you still get the feeling that you have not got the full history of events.My citisism of this game was that its too short. However, it is based on a triology of graphic novels, so I am hoping there will be sequels to clear up some of the mystery of the past.Definitely worth playing.
