"3D Action adventure like you've never seen before! Journey with Richard Kendall, American reporter living in England, to search for a world-famous missing Professor on the brink of a major discovery. Search legendary civilizations to solve the case. Along the way discover the mysteries of Stonehenge, Easter Island and finally the Lost City of Atlantis just to name a few." -Koei
"It's a traditional third-person point-and-click adventure in which our hero, a dippy journalist named Richard, is chasing all over the globe to find a scientist who went missing in his search for Atlantis. The game starts with a wonderfully retro-cheesy cutscene of the scientist and his obviously evil sidekicks searching underwater for Atlantis. ...The game pretends that its about the search for Atlantis, but it's really an exercise in creative inventory management. It's actually quite challenging in many areas, and it's necessary to listen very carefully to what every character tells you. Important hints to solving many of the game's stickier puzzles are contained in what sound like "toss-off" comments by the characters. ...Much of the graphic work is pleasing, though the characters are pretty wooden-looking. I enjoyed the different looks of the game's widely disparate locations." -
