Anyone else check out Syberia?

This game looks to be astounding in every way.

There is a demo out apparently.

So I thought I'd save everyone else the aggravation and put up a direct link where you can download the demo here.

I completed the demo and am eager to see what kind of price the game is going to open with.

This one's going to keep me glued to the screen for a while...

I posted this on the other Syberia thread, but figured I'd stick it here too.

I just finished the full version of Syberia last Friday and it is excellent. However, I did enjoy The Longest Journey more overall.

Syberia has a pretty decent story and there will be a sequel, which will help tie up a LOT of loose ends. I just hope it's a little longer (Syberia was maybe 15 hours or so, tops) and that there is less backtracking.

However, even with these minor blips, I thoroughly enjoyed it and had my adventure game fix for the year...

Ah, the joys of living in Canada. You get the one decent adventure game released a few months earlier than the states

Oh, and avoid The Watchmaker at all costs. Horrid game.

I'd also recommend Shadow Of Destiny either on the PS2 or the recent PC port. I played it to death on the PS2 (goooo multiple endings!) and it is an excellent time-travel/metaphysical adventure.

Voice acting could be better, but it's passable. I'm not sure how well the PC port had turned out, but I probably enjoyed it more than Syberia. I guess I'm just bitter with Syberia for leaving me hanging and needing the sequel! So many loose ends... must wait for sequel!
