a real disappointment
I was giddy when I saw this new installment of "Brink of Consiousness" for I loved the first part but it was a real disappointment
1. the characters talk, talk, talk (the skip button is my new BFF)
2. Graphics : everything looks washed out, tired. the look of the first part was much better
3. mass hidden object games - looking for some junk in a heap of even more junk in the most unlikely places is not my idea of a good time. And it also destroyes every bit of atmosphere.
That's one of the things I loved with the first part no massive hidden object games.
I think this game is a dive compared to the Dorian Gray Syndrome.

Dissapointed
I read the reviews of other players, and they must have been playing a diffferent game. I found the game boring, and honestly could not wait for it to be done. I wish I would not have purchased the ce version.

Disappointed
Not much of a challenge, too much dialogue, graphics were pretty tired. Overall very disappointing for the size of the file and my expectations

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!
I am pretty sure I have almost 200 BF games now, and I have to say that this is the best game I have ever played.
The storyline is captivating, the graphics are crisp and clean, and the voices are fabulous. This is one game that you cannot play without sound. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the conversations between characters throughout the whole game. In between conversations the music was lovely.
I cannot find anything wrong with this game at all.

Creepy delight
I was able to preview this game before it hit the pond and I must say - I love it! Such a beautiful dialogue, intricate scenery, and hint button that works! You will be entralled as you walk through the streets and parks and mansions of this movie like adventure.Go for it!

Old Fashioned Game
I was really looking forward to one that resembled Brink of Consciousness Dorian Gray Syndrome. However, this one reminded me of the older games that I used to play. I like those games, but not enough to buy another one.
I thought that there were too many cut scenes, and I could not click through them without skipping the whole scene. I am an impatient sort, and tend to read it faster than they speak it. And, the characters moving to the edge of the screen took too long for me. At least in the older ones, you could double click to move them faster.
I did like the game play. Was a bit too easy though. The music was nice for this kind of game. Really kept in the mood.
Overall, not a game I will be buying, but someone else might enjoy it.

Jury was out until the bonus chapter...
There is so much I dislike about this game, but the worst thing is that you can't click through the voice overs. You have to either skip the dialogue and cut scenes entirely or listen to long, and I mean LONG, stretches of dialogue (in fake English accents that are excrutiatingly bad). The story/scenery/dialogue/music were all a mishmash of things that didn't fit together but I just tried to focus on actual gameplay which I enjoyed - good HOS, easy but fun puzzles - then I got to the bonus chapter. Just check out the forum for tech issues and you will see what I mean. This game is glitchy!!! Uninstalling/reinstalling didn't work and you can't start the bonus chapter again without playing the whole game over. I wish I hadn't bought it.

meh
Dorian Gray was one of the most fun games, and this follow is such a disappointment. The game gets rather tedious and the story gets boring. not worth buying the CE.

Really disappointing
There is just too much spoken text, and no way to get it to move on more quickly other than skipping the whole scene. At one point the main character says:"I've had enough of this" and I must agree. The mini games are different, but not challenging. I'm about half way through and am really losing the will to live with the voice overs. I shall just press skip from now on.
