One of the best adventure games ever, when you play with a walkthrough, that is. It has some of the best voice acting, characters, music, atmosphere, design for an adventure game and a story I love. But, even for it's time, the puzzle design reached a new height of ridiculousness. Some puzzles are fun, some aren't at all, and overall it's better to just swallow your pride and have a guide handy.
It's sad that it's impossible to ignore this flaw that would have sunk a lesser game. At the same time, I think it says a lot to the strength of the game's elements overall that it can survive it's main gameplay being flawed.
