GK 3 was ass, nothing but ass. Read any review anywhere (except maybe Gamespot). Stupid puzzles (the infamous Cat Mustache, surely you've heard of it), poor graphics (heads have a clear line around the neck, like a fucking swivel, and the face and lower body are two different flesh tones), and bad dialogue writing (Gabriel sleazily and misogynistically hits on every woman he meets) among other little things ad up to ass. Avoid it all costs.


I was simply put off by the details in GK2 from ever touching a new one (the thought of Gabriel saying "Polish Sausages" again and again as you try to figure out what to do at the sausage store is horryfing even now). And that bit where you (SPOILER MOTHERFUCKER) become a werewolf at the end BUT ARE ABLE TO DIE IN A TRILLION STUPID WAYS INCLUDING RUNNING OUT OF TIME made me almost physically ill.

But thanks for the tip. I think the last good Adventure style game I played was when they finally issued Quest for Glory I for mac back in the day. Maybe the genre is dated.
