Can we actually run in the game this time? That really turned me off. Couldn't continue playing.

The puzzles you solve affects the development of the story. - Improved lip synching. - Modified conversations for a boost to the pace of the game. - New mix of music and sound. Some extra tracks added. - Additional Bonus Content Folder, including sketches, backgrounds, character designs, etc... - Optimized engine. - Windows 7 compatible. |

With so many changes, it seems like the original version was a beta

This was probably the greatest disappointment i have had in studying and researching any game, i love the wonderful novel that this game is based on but the game itself is a joke, one of the worst disney style animated travesties that should never have gotten out of the box. I threw mine away with great relief for that meant there was one less copy for time to erase.

Never played the original, is this game worth playing? I see the DC is $10, not too shabby.

Finally, I think I might be able to play this game now. from what I did play, it was pretty interesting. I actually liked the art style too.

Has anyone actually gotten it yet? I just did but my download says part of it is corrupt. I tried multiple times which depleted the 5 download total they give you and it is corrupt every time. I emailed them to see if they can fix this issue, but I want to know if anyone else has had the same problem. Thanks!

VictimOfScience, try to download again. It must be a problem with the server or the rar file. To get more downloads email to [email protected] and they will probably reset your counter to 5.
Sometimes you can repair a corrupted rar file using the repairing tool in WinRar. To do it just follow the instruction below: 1. Open the file TheAbbey_1 with WinRar (or the file corrupted). 2. Go to Tools->Repair file (alt+r). 3. Choose the location where the rest of the files are. 4. When the file is repaired, WinRar creates a file named “fixed.TheAbbey_1.rar”. To uncompress, just move the old file TheAbbey_1.rar to another folder (it’s better not to delete for it may be necessary repair the file again). Then, rename “fixed.TheAbbey_1.rar” to “TheAbbey_1.rar”. 5. Uncompress the file normally. |

They seem to have fixed it by now. I have downloaded the files again and now it went fine.

Actually, I tend to think of that as being a 'classical animation' style of art, not simply a 'Disney' style. More to the point, it's all 3D cel shading, which makes it much more than it appears, and I for one am quite impressed. It's a very distinctive and effective art style for an adventure game. If this style of art had been used for the Broken Sword sequels, there would have been fewer complaints, I believe.
As for the game, I haven't played the previous release, so this might well be a game I'll be looking into shortly. |
