    Still holds up better than people admit. Not even close.

    Je le défends à fond même si je sais que je ne suis pas objectif du tout.

    jugué la demo mil veces antes de tener el juego completo, y aun asi sigo pensando que aguanta el paso del tiempo mejor de lo que la gente admite

    Ma mère jouait AVANT moi sur cette cartouche, je la regardais des heures sans toucher la manette une seule fois.

    J'ai l'impression qu'on le vote plus par habitude que par vraie conviction, mais je me trompe peut-être.

    Les niveaux sont franchement bien pensés et ça se sent encore aujourd'hui, mais je reconnais que la CAMÉRA a mal vieilli par endroits.

    Gonzalez2008

    La caméra oui, c'est le vrai point faible, elle gène surtout dans les passages étroit.

    Lo jugué tantísimo en su época que ya ni recuerdo cuántas veces me quedé atascado en un puzzle, y aun así volvía al día siguiente sin quejarme, cosa rara en mí porque normalmente abandono todo a la primera dificultad, así que algo tenía este juego para retenerme tanto.

    Yo también me quedaba horas atascado, ¿qué puzzle fue el que más te costó a ti?
