This game brings back the days where point and click games were actual adventures. But it has a nice, more modern polish to it. Definitely enjoyable and the characters are charming. Interesting story, also. Worth a look.

Lost Horizon is one very polished adventure game. The artwork is of a very high quality throughout and that's backed by consistently good, if not exactly exceptional, voice acting.

The gameplay is well paced and the puzzles are logical enough that you can figure them out without needing a walkthrough. There are also optional hints and object highlights should you need them. But the game makes enough sense that you probably won't.

All in all it's one of the best adventure games in quite some time. Well worth your money.

Heard about this game from a friend, and after giving it a whirl at his house, I decided to add it to my collection. This is a GREAT adventure game, that is a must for adventure game fans. The game is a great asset to any adventurer's collection and a definite hidden gem that I'm glad I didn't pass up on. Pick it up during the summer sale to get it for dirt cheap, a GREAT deal for what content you're getting your hands on!

I have only played two other Point and Click game before, I tend to find the puzzles too obtuse and the control mechanics quite awkward, graphically they are not too enticing either.

When I saw Lost Horizon, the plot interested me as I have heard of the games premise before, so, intrigued, I tried the demo.

I was very surprised at the quality of the game I was trying, the graphics were sumptuous, the production values were superb, the care and attention to period detail (1936) were second to none. I bought the game before I completed the demo.

The games progress is similar in many ways to the Indiana Jones movies, the opening scene in the night club and the red line on maps to highlight travel movement are the most obvious similarities.

The game mechanics are much more fluid than other Point and Click games I have played, if you wish it, you can press the spacebar and highlight all points of interest, or you can just move the cursor around the scene. The third person character control is meticulously handled with a handy ability to change characters with one click, to progress certain puzzles.

The storyline is well told, With the nazi Thule Society hunting a certain maguffin and your character gets caught in the middle as you travel across three continents, to reach the gams conclusion.

The games mechanics marry well thought out puzzles, with traditional hunt the clues, augumented with some well done action scenes, with one that reminded me of a chase scene in Uncharted.

With a great cast of characters, some gorgeous locations, interesting puzzles and great graphics, all in all a great package, if you have ever been interested in adventure games, but the mechanics or graphics put you off, then I suggest you try Lost Horizon.

This is one of the best adventure games I have played in years. The graphics are majestic and beautiful from exquisite Hong King nightclubs to romantic Morocco. The puzzles go together marvelously with the plot. The music is also charming, matching the gameplay to create a brilliant soundtrack of that era in history. I wanted to continue playing. The storyline was certainly gripping and entertaining to the end.I especially like the option of choosing some puzzles in difficult mode. This was an extra challenge and a real treat! I would tell anyone; Get this game,you will truly be overjoyed that you did!

Pros: great, cinematic graphics, audio and interface; hilarious dialogs; great, well-told story; outstanding voice acting.

Cons: lacks random solutions to puzzles (also needed more of them); sometimes clunky puzzle controls; could have used more gameplay or a bit less dialog.

All in all, I love this one and put me right in mind why Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars is still my all-time favorite. It's a boatload of fun.

Fenton Paddock is the new Indiana Jones and I hope we get more adventures from the developer (Deep Silver), starring our hero. I'm not quite finished (just began the final chapter), but I've loved every minute.

The gameplay is smooth and menu access is very easy. For the most part, they really fine-tuned the point-and-click game mechanics (no "slow death march" that Syberia forced on you, every time your character moved) with no pixel hunting for active areas and entrances/exits (Examine button was an awesome feature).

I do wish there had been more puzzles and/or they were more of a challenge (random solutions would have helped), although you are given a choice, before you begin (nice job on that feature, too) whether you want the Easy or Challenging version.

Unfortunately, the Challenging versions only had fewer highlights or more graphics, rather than different solutions. Also, one jigsaw style puzzle was a bit easy and required you to move pieces to a specific spot to rotate them (clockwise only).

Even with the few "cons" I'm thoroughly enjoying this and gave it 5 out of 5 stars. It's a shorter adventure game, but they don't all need to be "Myst," do they.

I'll have to check for more titles by Deep Silver; this one's a keeper, IMO.
