I have a question about GK3. I went to buy it
and they said it was recalled. Why? Is
something wrong with the game, or is it something
esle.

When I compare GK3 to the excellent GK2 I ask myself:
Why am I so lukewarm to the protaganists?
Why don't I care about the other characters? and Why are they so uninteresting?
Do I really talk like that?
Are chessboard puzzles really necessary?
Where's the suspense? Where's the drama?
When's the pizza guy going to get here?
and finally
Is this adventure almost over yet?

As an adult player and enthusiast of the previous G.K.games, I found No.3 a more than worthy successor in terms of ideas, plot development and sound.
However, despite its technological advances, this writer prefers live actors.
Camera movement is too slow and jerky for my taste.
Murphy series and Amerzone much better in this respect.
Black marks to Sierra for not answering my request in snail mail for advice.
Game manufacturers in America should try to provide better service to their antipodean supporters.
Overall, despite flaws, G.K.3 satisfies with its high degree of sophisticated imagination and characterisation.
Thankyou for this opportunity America.

I thought GK3 was brilliant - but the ending broke my heart. There HAS to be a GK4 - these games are the best there is. How do we persuade Sierra - who do we have to sleep with/take hostage???????
