Despite her infallible track record, many gamers feel unease when it is found that the next sequel in the series, Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned, has abandoned the…

Excellent

Always in my top 3 favorite games of all time.
Yes, it had poor graphics and clumsy controls, but the plot, the music and the atmosphere were AWESOME!

Check my photos from my trip to Rennes le Chateau in 2001, and see the great research the developers did for the game.

Dear Helen,

I am sorry but I played with GK3 many years ago and I can not remember your situation. :-(
But if you like such a genre as Jane Jensen’s Gabriel Knight, you should try ‘The Mystery of the Druids’.

Is there a petition for GK4 ? :-)

Hi,

I think Gabriel Knight trilogy is one of the best adventure game serial. I can recommend almost every adventure gamers all over the world, because its atmosphere is incredible.

Best wishes,
Bakoú

Help, please!! I’m really into the game and cannot wait to get to the end but I can’t get to the orange mountain on the last day - it just won’t light up on the map. Did anyone else have this problem - what did you do?! I’ve really enjoyed the game - like everyone else, I’d love a GK4 - are there others similar that anyone can recommend?

Very Good

I have enjoyed playing this game, although technically it was a disaster. Not only was the engine particularly slow, the 3D graphicians apparently had no experience at all working with limited hardware and came up with most ugly simplifications possible.

Double pity: the other andventures were just as ugly and stupid those days, just because they had to be 3D… I remember getting King’s Quest 8, and throwing it right out of the window after trying to play it for 10 minutes. On the other hand, first-person-shooters like Half-Life could use 3D technology to their profit and deliver quite a smooth experience.

But how ugly this game really is, you first realize when you see Shenmue for Sega Dreamcast, which came out juat a few months later. The game, which, i believe, has completely redefined the look of all future games, to the better side.

Best game ever! Lets hope there will be GK4 some day. And lets hope Jane Jensen’s “Gray Matter” game/s will be excellent too.
