You Know Uru

I've been playing Uru - Ages Beyond Myst.

It's nice. The visuals are great, the sound is fine, and the concept is intriguing... but what's the point? It's like looking at a sci-fi art book. The puzzles aren't fun, only annoying... and once you leave the entrance level, you have no guidance whatsoever. Just a vague concept of putting your hand on seven magic pieces of cloth hanging here and there.

It gets really stupid when they say there are seven journeys (that's what they call their magic cloth) in the desert... it's supposed to be something ancient, and yet one of them is hanging off the back of an RV and another on the back of a no trespassing sign.

My advice: Never play this game.
