Product Description:
The Immortals of Terra is a classically styled point-and-click adventure game with contemporary graphics, starring the German pulp-fiction hero Perry Rhodan. Expanding upon the character's original story lines, the game is set nearly 3,000 years in the future, when the people of Earth have joined together to take their place among the citizens of the cosmos. Perry's longtime love interest, Mondra Diamond, has disappeared, and he sets out to find her as the adventure begins. As the story progresses, the plot thickens and the stakes become higher, leading the space-faring hero across the galaxy, to strange alien worlds where the unknown poses great danger and enlightening discovery.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Puzzles (and more puzzles) in space!
"The Immortals of Terra" is actually a pretty good game. Unfortunately, it's not the game I thought I was buying.

Most adventure games tend to fall into one of two categories: story-driven, or puzzle-driven. This game is definitely geared more towards the puzzles. The storyline actually had quite a bit of potential, but it never really goes anywhere. You play as Perry Rhodan, who must try to rescue his friend after she's kidnapped by mysterious agents. Unfortunately, you won't solve this mystery by learning more about Mondra, or the titular immortals that she was researching when she disappeared. No, you find Mondra's diary early on in the game, and that...is pretty much all the exposition you'll get. There are entire sections of the game which have almost no relationship to the plot - seriously, Perry, if you're that worried about your missing girlfriend, maybe you shouldn't waste all that time trying to steal museum exhibits for no particular reason. (Yes, I know they come in handy later on, but...) And maybe I was just beaten down by the end of the game, but I can honestly say that I have no idea what happened there, except that it involved one of the most irritating game characters I've come across in a good long while. All I know is that he finally shut up, so I guess I must have won.

So why am I giving this game a good score? Well, if you're into puzzle-intensive games and don't mind the story so much, this is actually a pretty good game. Most of the puzzles are medium-to-difficult, and they're generally pretty logical. There is a fair amount of pixel-hunting to this game, but there's a snazzy scan function which highlights all the hotspots on the screen. That feature is becoming more common with these games, but "The Immortals of Terra" actually incorporated it into the sci-fi setting, and I liked that a lot.

Technically, this game is impressive. The backgrounds are absolutely beautiful, especially later in the game. Voice acting is also very good, particularly for Perry. I'll admit, having never heard of the "Perryverse" before, I was worried that Perry would be some kind of smug twerp, but darned if I didn't end up liking the guy. It almost makes me want to check out some of the books. The game also played without a single hitch, crash, or freeze-frame, which I really appreciate.

Bottom line: if you go into "The Immortals of Terra" expecting a science-fiction epic, you'll likely be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you're looking for intelligent puzzles with a bit of sci-fi sheen, this game is definitely worth picking up.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Interesting game.
Glad I bought it, its an great game but it does some things that are unique and new. Graphics are excellent.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very Disappointed
I guess we should be a serious fan of this series to enjoy the game since it requires a lot of patience. I couldn't play more than an hour since there was so much running back and forth & with very long loading between screens, it felt like more waiting & staring at a black screen then playing a game!

The graphics are very nice but it seems the style of gameplay is old school. The loading time completely takes away any chance of enjoying this game at all.

i read the reviews here and had to see for myself, and yes the graphics are very good, the story is very good, the characters are cool, the puzzles are good and explainable, a few pixel hunts.I was very pleased with the game and was wanting to play more and more..the only bad part is the 1 to 2 second black screen you get when you move from screen to screen.by pressing the right mouse button you auto move to the next screen wihtout having to watch your character walk across, this made up for it.any adventure fan would like this game, well done...
