The Gabriel Knight games grabbed me from the start, this one doesn't. But it's a Jane Jensen game, so I'm waiting for the story to kick in.
I really enjoyed the static cutscenes, but i understand that it might turn people off.

I also understand your point about the descriptions, but trust me it will get better, the first two chapters are easily the worst , too damn slow, but the third one is great. If you enjoyed GK stories, you will like this one. Sometimes it might feel a bit like Gabriel Knight lite, but its very well written. If you're playing it because of the story you WILL NOT be disapointed, i guarantee you that! :p
