I bought Syberia 2 when it was available only in the Large File Section, after playing Syberia 1. Syberia is the best game I have come across, far superior to other LFGs or the usual casual game.
It's a pure adventure, very intelligently and beautifully crafted, with a plot that does make sense, unfolds perfectly and totally grows on you. Upon completion of part 1 I couldn't wait to start on Part 2.
The world of Syberia is fictional, but so well rendered that you find it highly credible. It is diversifed and full of inventiveness.
You will not find any HOS in it. Syberia is beyond this type of amusement. You will not have Hints to help either, no map, no leading by the hand.
At every stage, you have to figure out by yourself what to do on the basis of the information the game gives you step by step, using your logic as well as your creativity. You need to think out of the box.
Puzzles, like the rest of the adventure, are difficult. In fact the whole game is a gigantic puzzle which rests on a huge amount of exploration and constantly putting 2 and 2 together.
The game is rich in beautifully drawn locales to visit and revisit.
For all these reasons, Syberia is not easy; the challenge level is quite high. But one shouldn't be discouraged; it is not Mission Impossible and, besides, there are walkthroughs to help you out if and when you get stuck.
Add to that a superb narrative, a professional voice-over, and a lovely storyline with a very touching ending.
Syberia is very different from all other casual games, so you're in for an unusual experience.
Gamelength is long, very long; count a few days to play both parts. Which means it is well worth the pricetag.
Although it is a difficult game, best suited to adventurers and seasoned players, which requires patience and method, I will not hesitate to highly recommend it to all, even to beginners because there is no other game like Syberia 1 and 2 and because it is a true 5 Star game... a rarity nowadays.
Note: The trial version is too short to convey well what the game is like and cannot provide you with a full picture. Show less

I recommend this game!

I played this first time around and would suggest you play Siberia part one first as it continues an adventure. It took me a while to get to grips with the movement of the game but once I was in tune with the play it was wonderful. This is probably the only game in which I actually cared about the characters and even more, I wanted the adventure to continue. Please take the time to get used to moving around in the game as it will be worthwhile making the effort. This is my most memorable and most pleasurable series. Large files games can take a bit of getting used to and the graphics may seem a little awkward, but only at first. I do not hesitate in recommending it to you. Immerse yourself in the story and enjoy the journey it takes you on. Show less

First of all, I bought the original 2 game series of Syberia and loved them, couldn't get enough of them! I am a casual game player so it took me days to finish and a bit of of strategy guide consulting. It was like reading a good book that is hard to put down with surprises and twists to tweak your interest. The art work is excellent and the mini games ingenious.

Great graphics and a wonderful story line that left me anxious to start the second of the series. This is not a game for beginners, but if you enjoy the "not so typical" HOG, then this will be for you. Sweet sweet story, and good graphics here! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

If you havent heard by now, then know this, Syberia Series is an all time classic and in my opinion, one of the best PC games out there. Yes, it is strickly adventure and yes the graphics could be considered out dated and yes, BFG is now re-packaging it in parts whereas the original was two games. Still, for those who love adventure, for those who want to learn adventure and for those who want to know what it feels like to be completely submerged into a story, so much so that you become part of the story, not to mention having an awesome gaming experience, this really is a game to own. The visuals are breathtaking, artwork is fantstic, voice-over acting top rate and game mechanics involve solving puzzles, collecting inventory items and being submerged into a journey that you will not easily forget. It is a difficult game to play and beginners to the genre might become frustrated at first, as I did. Please, have patience, look at the walkthrough and stick with it. I promis, after a while you will get the hang of it and soon will be hooked, just like I did. The storyline alone is worth the effort. Syberia will always remain in my memory and to date, no other adventure game has moved me as much as Syberia. Show less

I played the original some time ago which I guess was part 1 and part 2 so unfortunately I've already played this. I was so excited thinking it was an addition to the original. I loved the original (part 1 and 2). It's very much old adventure and the story line was captivating. I was sad when I completed it. A part 3 would be welcome :)

This is a classic story-driven game that continues directly from where Syberia 1 leaves off. While it's playable as a stand-alone, players should really start with the first episode to fully appreciate the delightful story and subtle humour.

Syberia 2 features a much better interface than its predecessor which was clunky and slow at best but the story and setting isn't quite as charming (in my opinion).

This series is for story-lovers. There is no hand-holding, you may need to resort to a walk-thru. Save often. It's well worth sticking with. Put on your jogging shoes and prepare to be immersed totally in a wonderfully crafted story.

Graphics are top-notch for it's time. Lovely music composed for the game. Great voice overs (some dodgy accents). Weeks of play rather than one afternoon's. Show less

I recommend this game!
