Finally started the game today, couple of hours ago.
As a huge Gabriel Knight fan I am very pleased with the game so far.
Especially after the mixed reactions certain aspects of the game provoked.
I think the character animations are fine (with a few exceptions,
breakfast anyone ?)
Background graphics/animations superb.
Music sometimes very "knightish", which of course is a plus.
The dialogue portraits look strange though.
Can´t say that I was bored despite having read reviews claiming that the first two chapters are very "slow".
I´m about 50 percent through the 2nd chapter and wasn´t bored yet
Cutscenes are another story but I have been forewarned and accept them for what they are.
They have a unique style, that´s for sure.
Was afraid about the Magic tricks but enjoyed them so far.
Have to continue now
