Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

GK is one game that i won't ever forget for some time. Its like reading a dark mystery novel only YOU become the author! This game is very, very long. But its a dang good one. Its characters are voiced over perfectly along with the correct scenery and proper music. I still haven't had a chance to play its sequels yet. I would hope that they are just as good.

check this one out.

It`s old and rusty, but still one of the greatest adventure game of all times. The interesting plot, clever dialogs, all fits perfectly. The only bad thing about it it`s that it`s kinda difficult, but u can solve all problems using pure logic. With Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight is the greatest one.

I bought the game years ago when it was released on 11 floppy disks, now, years later, I bought the CD talkie version and I still play it over and over again, probably every half a year. I keep asking myself "Why?" I know all solutions to all the riddles and quests, I know all the dialogue - and still I can't stop putting that CD in my driver over and over again. This game is absolutely magnificent and probably the best adventure game ever! Although I liked the second part "The Beast Within" too (and totally disliked the third one!) I wish they'd make a fourth part... in 2D, without FMV and without 3D graphics! What wonderful 2D(!) games must be possible these days when you look at todays (mainly 3D) games?

But let's get back to GK:SOTF. Years ago I was so amazed by the beautiful animations, the complex story and the score. Sierra put a lot of effort in this and I hope so dearly that we see such beautiful 2D games again in future... when we all got sick of hi-realistic 3D rendering. That would be my biggest game-related dream: Gabriel Knight 4 in 2D just like part one... with the same voice cast :-)

Parents please keep in mind, that GK is definitely no game for children. Sometimes it becomes pretty gory and bloody. But everybody who's no afraid of a few litres of pixelblood will have a wonderful time.

If you've never played this game, GO AND DO IT!!!

I am a huge fan of Adventure games (quests), the way they existed at the time when no unnecessary 3D technology was available, and people who made games counted on CONTENTS to make it worth. This game is one of the gems (along with Monkey Island 1,2) that make me stand for the 'quest' genre, and shout for it! ;) A masterpiece, really! I've played it again and again, and it never stops amazing me, it is so... REAL... I can't describe it...

Now, there are rarely new samples of this genre, and if so, they tend to spread onto tons of discs, and cannot offer that kind of INVOLVING with the characters and environment, and events, that will make your hair stand on end.

Just superb, you HAVE to play it! :)

They don't make games like this everyday. The original Gabriel

Knight mystery showed the world how to make a computer game. You

control Gabriel Knight, a budding true-crime novelist in New

Orleans. He's caught up in the investigation of the recent

Voodoo Murders with the help of his assistant, Grace Nakimura,

and his buddy on the police force, Mosely. This game is the

complete opposite of a shoot-em-up; you must figure out the

mystery and try to keep Gabe's sanity. Gather the clues, try to

save the girl, and discover Gabe's hidden past.
