I just finished the game and I loved it! I read some negative reviews and was kind of skeptical (especially about the gingerbread puzzle), but the game exceeded my expectations. I actually didn't think the gingerbread puzzle was bad. It made sense to me and I actually got it right it on the first try. I loved how it was so intuitive, like it understood what you were trying to do and not waiting for you to point at some tiny spot on the screen in order to use an object. It looks beautiful and it's really well-made. The story line is interesting and the voice acting is pretty nice. I can't even think of any negative things to say. Well, ok, the ending did feel rushed and incomplete, but I was ready for it after reading the reviews, so I wasn't disappointed. Overall a very nice game with great controls, interface, imagery, and puzzles (although I wish it was a little more challenging). Just overall great game. I wish there were more like it.

Pros: Interesting story, including 1920's Prague and Modern NYC, a good villain, and great art and atmosphere. Cons: Archaic interface that seems like it belongs in a game from 1995, ridiculously difficult puzzles that should have no bearing on the story (who knew making ginger bread cookies could be so difficult?) I ended up following walkthroughs for most of them. Conclusion: Good deal if you like puzzle games and get the version that's bundled with another game. 3/5.

One of the most underrated adventure games ever released. Extremely good story, acting and producing. Can't wait for Still Life 2 to hit the shelves on April 14th 2009!
