Amazing graphics and cut scenes. Big differance with "The Moment Of Silence" is it's more like a movie\/game than most pure 3rd person point and click adventures.. Very iIntersting futuristic setting (sort of) and easier gameplay in that you can't make a disasterous mistake. Still took me over 21 hours to play.. That was off and on however! What I really loved about this stroyline is that no matter how long you left it when you came back it never got to the point where i forgot the goal\/mission or what the story was about. That happenes far to often in some adventure games!My only negative to be honest is this game probably has the most I chit chat in it i've ever seen!Still, I'm looking forward to finding more like this!. At first I thought 'The Moment of Silence' was a decent game if somewhat dry and generic with awkward controls that left me not knowing where to click on the screen to move from one location to another. By the time I was two thirds of the way through the game I just wished that it was over, and really that I hadn't even started playing the game in the first place... even as I managed to crawl to the end of the story. Whatever interesting ideas there are in this game are buried under way too many transition screens and shopping lists of dialogue.Another thing that really got me was the lack of decent roles for the female characters. After dead wives; helpless wives; manipulative online girlfriends; silent secretaries; defective AI; and untrustworthy street solicitors I was starting to think that maybe it would be nice to get some variety in the female NPCs that you interactive with in this game. But then I was introduced to an even worse female character (a ditsy skimpily dressed resort hostess who unwittingly described how she got her job by being pretty and failing an IQ test) and I started thinking that maybe the poor roles for female characters was on purpose. I certainly didn't see any problems with the roles for male characters.I just don't think it's worth digging through the mountain of generic ideas; poor mechanics and controls; and seeming misogyny to find the good in this game. I wouldn't recommend 'The Moment of Silence' even if it was free.. I'd have rather watched a gameplay instead of trying to find where the game devs thought it was logical to go. For a person who got used to games with bigger interactivity, it was frustrating all the way. Can't put myself to finish it.. I played this game years ago and the story had always stuck with me. When it went on sale, I made sure to buy a copy. The story is positively riveting and predicted the NSA scandal and surveillance drones 10 years before their occurrence. This alone makes the other predictions of the game to be even more interesting\/ominous. I know a game's story is powerfully interesting when my husband takes off his headphones from playing Overwatch to listen to what I'm playing ;)I really appreciate the sheer number of locations and scenes in The Moment of Silence offers. All too often point and click adventure games these days keep to just 3 locations with just a few different points of view. The Moment of Silence keeps you on your toes with a huge variety of locals.I have to say the character movement can be a bit clunky at times. Also, sometimes I had to click on obscure points in order to fully explore an area. While I felt like the majority of the puzzles were orangic and intuitive, there were a good handful that weren't so and were confusing.Overall, if you love a good Sci-Fi story, enough locations to really feel like an adventure, and don't mind keeping a walkthrough handy, The Moment of Silence is a game I would recommend you purchase. If it's on sale for $10 or less, definitely snatch it up!. This game had an excellent story, and generally good puzzles, but a few bad mechanics made it very tedious to play. Camera angles were poorly planned, often flipping around in the middle of a scene. This turns forward into backwrd, and left into right. This made the game very disorienting and confusing to play, *especially* during maze sections. Often, only part of a room would be shown, and you would have to find the correct place to move your character so you could access a new camera view. Poor pathing and having to guess what position would trigger the change made this excruciating. Finally, there were often large, open spaces that our character needed to cover, in one case dozens of times for the same puzzle, and there was no zip or quick exit feature. You have to watch your character run slowly through the whole space *every* *single* *time*. Can I recommend this game? It has a good story. However, it is unacceptable that the dev team let these mechanical issues persist past development, let alone playtesting. Play it if you're very patient.. A well written sci-fi adventure. It is by no means perfect, with occasional bugs and awkward movement controls that will occasionally have you wanting to throw your mouse through a window, but worth checking out. Through the game you get a rich sense of the world, told to you through hints and mentions in conversation rather than the heavy-handed exposition we see in most similar games.. Ahhhh Moment of Silence, does it get anymore mediocre? Released back in 2004 you would swear it was made in 1994. It falls for a lot of the pit falls many 90's point and click adventure games did back in those days(I still loved many) and the graphics are about on par for the era. You will find yourself wondering have I explored this whole area or do I need to attempt to walk off screen in some weird fashion(yes it's one of those)? You will also find yourself at the mercy of multiple illogical or poorly designed puzzles although the game isn't terribly difficult. It is packed with boring dialogue and little action even for an adventure game. The game has a post 9\/11 USA feel to it with government so large it is watching everyone all the time. Very Orwellian feeling. I actually did enjoy this aspect of the game and the statement it was trying to make but not enough to forgive its annoyances. Play it if you've already played through all of the great point and clicks but please, dear god, don't make it one of the few you'll ever try. You may find yourself wondering,"I haven't even played through all the Sam and Max franchise what am I doing playing this #$%&!"
