First Person

"This first person point-and-click title opens promisingly: you awake on a slab in Frankenstein's laboratory, with Tim Curry as the mad doctor looking down upon you and uttering the classic (or cliche, depending on whether your in a generous mood) words: 'He's alive! Alive!'"

"The storyline of Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster, is quite good. Who are you? Why are you the subject of Frankenstein's experiment? What is your past? What can you remember? All this is pretty good stuff.

"And if you like mechanical puzzles, this game has them! Particularly involved and challenging are a series of puzzles involving heavy equipment in a mine, and of course, there's the doctor's laboratory to figure out and make use of.

"I usually cringe when I realize a game includes a maze. This game is ONE BIG MAZE AFTER ANOTHER. The castle is a six-level maze with hallways, stairways, and hidden passages galore. Then there's the hedge maze. And did I mention the huge mine tunnel maze? Maze, maze, maze, maze, maze. Ick.

"Overall, a solid adventure title with several nice qualities, a strong story and challenging mechanical puzzles and two fatal flaws -- the main voiceover really sucks and the game is one big maze after another. Try it if mazes don't drive you too crazy."
