Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned

This game is the much-awaited sequel to Jane Jensen's first two Gabriel Knight games. For fans of adventure role playing games who don't mind a little mystery, this game is excellent! Well written, with smart dialogue and the voice talents of several actors (Tim Curry, anyone?), this game is both fun and intriguing. It deals with some uncommon religious ideas and the real life mystery of a small French town. The game is innovative and enthralling, and I'd highly recommend it!

The first two Gabriel Knight video games, didn't do much looking at the standing of God. This game is a great example of the look of the ancient battle between darkness and light.

The interface is interesting, the puzzles are complex, and the simple jokes, are entertaining. I like the creative solution for the enigma of the Lanquedoc valley of France. But under it is a good look at the nature of God and Jesus.

This is one of the best VG I have ever played! The beautiful backrounds, the enchanting music score, the amazing storyline... It is just a great game!!!

I really recommend this game for all of you who love dark and mysterious games. A master-piece

The third in the Gabriel Knight series by Sierra, this one follows suit in creating a great game. All three games have used different gaming technology(2-d animation, video clips, 3-d rendering), but the results have been great for all three.

Jane Jensen's plot places Gabriel and Gracie in France to unravel a kidnapping. The story which unfolds keeps your attention, as does Tim Curry's great voice acting. It is obvious he was given a degree of artistic freedom in creating the comments that appear when you click on seemingly innocent items. Hilarious stuff will come out when you least suspect it.

Also features the return of Detective Mosely from GK1. The downside of the game is that it can get awfully slow if you don't have the most up-to-date machine.

I am not into video games that much, but I tried this (and the others from the series)with my brother because Tim Curry is my favourite actor of all time, and I will say I wasn't disappointed. The graphics were excellent, and has the quality of a computer-animated film. The character animation is among the best I've seen for a video game, especially that for Gabriel Knight. Likewise with the music, which is very experimental and atmospheric in style. I thought the vocal performances were flawless. Tim Curry was perfect as Gabriel, a suave, handsome and charismatic hero, and it just shows what a truly talented and severely under-appreciated actor he really is. Charity James was also impressive. The script was very good, full of simple yet funny jokes and smart references to other adventure games, in fact it reminded me of the sort of script they use in a James Bond film. The plot was clever and involving, and for me, there was never a dull moment. The game itself is very complex in construction, but totally playable. It can be time consuming, and it is quite long, but it is well worth trying out. This is considered the best in the series, and I will say I agree completely. In conclusion, a clever and fun game, that is truly among the best. Apart from some surprisingly good exceptions, they don't quite make games like these anymore. 10/10 Bethany Cox.
