I got this game off the back of having completed "The Lost Crown"(made by the same person). And I am highly dissapointed with Barrow Hill. First off its a first person perspective, which i hated, i much prefer a 3rd person view, so i can see my character, and watch them interact with the surroundings. Secondly there were hardly any people to interact with during the whole game, a total of 2(unless you count animals, 3). I prefer to interact with NPC's to gather information, but here its like school work, where you have to read pages & pages of dialogue from books or notes ZZZzzzzz.....The story is dull as dishwater and totaly laugable at points. The voice acting is amateur. The only thing going for it, is the half decent graphics, although the characters look so cheap, it makes me cringe thinking that i paid for this. Each to their own, just not my cup of tea at all, but if it sounds good to you, have a go.

Felt compelled to write my first Amazon review. I played most of the point and click games out there including the other great titles from this publsher (dark fall etc), however just to warn any avid adventure gamer how dissapointing this game was! No atmosphere and unengaging can't understand WHY its had so many good reviews!

I bought this on the basis of its good reviews, sadly I am very dissapointed with the whole game. This may have impressed me 15years ago but the whole experience of playing was slow, frustrating and I lost interest very quickly. The only plus point was the art and sound but it is still out dated.

Classy, imaginative, engaging. A game with enough substance to the story to engage older players.

Liked the story, liked the 'treasure hunt', liked the graphics, liked the music, liked the ending. Did not like the acting. Nothing too scary and I'd let the kids play it as soon as they were capable of working out the clues. If they can't then they are too young to play it.
