An Entertaining Game!
This game is somewhat unusual, but that is what makes it so much fun! You have to interact with characters on the ship to complete tasks. Naturally, the ship is going to sink eventually--everyone knows that--but you get to choose an ending. This game is really lots of fun and it has humor! (A somewhat rare quality in most games.) I got stuck a few times (which is why I rate myself as an intermediate player instead of an expert--if the game is any good at all, I will get stuck somewhere) I don't mind getting stuck though because I can go online to the Big Fish Games Web site and find the walk-through. Almost all of their hidden object games have a walk-through with scene-by-scene help. I use them all the time.

The game sank somewhat before the ship?
If you must, buy this game to watch the animated cut scenes -- they are pretty good.
There is voice over that is acceptable. There are H0G scenes, puzzles and inventory items to use where you are, or elsewhere. The artwork is ordinary.
The game virtually plays itself, and where it doesn't you can just skip anything you don't want to do. You can even skip the H0G scenes and receive the inventory item you need.
The story is a bit senseless given the ultimate ending, but there are actually two different solutions to the plot -- you get to play it twice. The second go round shouldn't take but a few minutes.

the wonders of the titanic
this game is a very interesting one I've played many of titanic games but i would say this is the best I've played so far.

Boring, slow moving and no objective
I bought this because I read the other reviews but I wish I hadn't. Painfully slow moving with long winded scripts / conversations. Detracted and distracted from just getting in and finding stuff. Puzzles didn't make sense and these are usually my forte. No real overall objective for the game. Didn't know why I was doing things and what the end result was meant to be. Played for 30 mins and will be uninstalling it.

A Titanic waste of time
Titanic is a titanic waste of time. It is boring. The HOS are very good and they were enjoyable through the first half of the game, after which I deleted the game. There is no plausible story line so one must refer to the walk through every 30 seconds or so to know what to do next. I dislike puzzles and these were somewhere between boring and stupid. The HOS were the only thing I could find to like, and the lack of a story line finally plunged this game into the ranks of the ?deleted before completion?. I just lost interest.

Not really authentic but great game
The date references-prety well spot on, the details of the sinking though a bit awry and lacking authenticity. the Captain's review at the end of the game-very factual and spot on. As a game-entertaining, interesting and exciting. We all know that the Titanic eventually sunk and there is no way you can change that, but the lead up to the eventual end was both challenging, dramatic and fun filled. Following the adventures and deeds of the main character, her mother and her husband, together with the young lad and members of the crew kept the interest primed.

Boring
While the artwork is very good, and the characters are interesting, the game itself is not fun. The puzzles often seem silly or pointless. I'm just glad I got this on sale.

love any game about Titanic
This is a little more challenging then I like, but I love anything that has to do with Titanic! Wonderful graphics and music!

Long winded, not all that fun
The game has you playing in the character of a newlywed woman on the Titanic with an irritable husband, an irritating mother, and a rude little boy. Some of the puzzles cannot be completed without online cheats, since you have to go back to certain rooms before the next clue is revealed or you have to hit the pointer in the exact spot before it lets you move on. Quality of play and graphics is just ok.

This one sunk, too.....
I love anything Titanic-y but while this game is named after the famous ship, it is just a backdrop for a fairly simple, repetitive HOG. The dialogue repeats, somewhat annoyingly, and it is hard to hit the right click spot for object placement. Objects seem barely hidden. The story has a boy who somehow got on and is roaming first class, and a mother with a first class, albeit stolen, ticket who cannot leave steerage. Enter the Egyptian mummy........
