I'd give the game 4/5, primarily because of some voice acting problems

Spoiler:
e.g. the tone in which Martin spoke to George about death of Martin's uncle seemed too cheerful and unnatural to me

and the ending which could use a little more work.

As far as the sliding puzzles, I found them quite easy and enjoyable, as I enjoy sliding puzzles in general. By contrast, my brother just quit playing the game after spending two hours trying to solve the colored beads puzzle. Perhaps, it would have been more fair to give the game 2 scores, one for persons who have difficulty solving or don't like sliding puzzles and one for those who enjoy such challenges.

One thing confused me in the review though. What Laura meant by "outer ring" being "hopelessly deadlocked"? Did you mean that the outer ring just got stuck and wouldn't move or that you hit the dead end in the puzzle where it has become unsolvable? I solved the puzzle several times, and I haven't encountered any of such problems.
