Syberia 1 and 2 PC-Cdrom Bundle

Syberia 1 and 2 PC Cdrom games. Both are 2 discs each.

Syberia II has a lot to live up to; the original Syberia did what no recent game has achieved in making the graphic adventure popular again. The peculiar plot of the game had New York lawyer Kate Walker giving up her career to help the wizened Hans Voralberg in his attempts to find Syberia--a lost land of living mammoths. This sequel picks up the story right from the end of the first, with Kate starting out in the Russian town of Romansburg in a renewed attempt to help Hans see Syberia before he dies.

The first game won its fans largely because of its well scripted storyline, which managed to make you forget the oddness of its premise and really invest in the cast of genuinely believable and engaging characters. The quality of writing is undiminished in this sequel.

The puzzles are a bit of a step down from before, with the welcome attempt to add a greater variety of tasks and difficulty levels leading to a mix of traditional LucasArts-style conundrums and more trial-and-error Myst-style affairs.

Syberia 2  is enjoyable, with superb production values--particularly in the excellent cut scenes. Those who have never played the first game however, should certainly start there as this sequel is really one for those that want to continue the series' journey to its logical end.
