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

Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is the best of all three Gabriel Knight games. The story was immersive, full of details that made the game very believable. Other than a few illogical puzzles, the game was challenging but not insanely hard. The completely 3D world is a pleasure to explore, with memorable characters everywhere. The graphics, however, are horribly clunky by today's standards. Real-time rendered graphics are used for gameplay, and rather poorly done pre-rendered graphics are used for cut scenes. If you'd rather have pretty pictures than an engaging story that will make you think, this is not the game for you.

This is the last game in the Gabriel Knight series, which is unfortunate because you will undoubtedly be left wanting more.

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

I've played a lot of adventure games, and this is hands down the best one I've ever done. Gabriel Knight 3 has an awesome storyline with layer after layer of detail and intrigue. The mystery just keeps unfolding as you solve more puzzles and see more and more of the secrets behind the town of Rennes-le-Chateau. Its 3D rendering and graphics look pretty great, the music is striking, and the cut scenes are really well done. The "dream sequence" movie, and the finale, just left me staring in awe. That's what you want from a game like this.

I really liked the characters, too. The interaction, especially between Gabriel and Grace, is excellent, and I really hope we'll see this continued in a Gabriel Knight 4! The only thing I wasn't amazed by was the dialog, which had its moments but was a little too sarcastic, a little too much of the time. However, I think that's no fault of Tim Curry and Charity James, etc., who did a nice job with what they were given.

As for difficulty, I wouldn't say GK3 was very hard. There are complicated puzzles, but if you're in the right place at the right time, it's pretty straightforward. I think that's to the advantage of advancing the plot, which as I said is just beautifully drawn. Gabriel Knight 3 is well worth whatever you pay for it.

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.

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.
