Replay Value: One is enough, although it's fun to go back after you've forgotten some of the key elements. Sound: Features a full orchestral sound track and excellent voice acting.Įnjoyment: If you like mysteries and the supernatural, you won't find a more enjoyable game. Graphics: Photo-quality graphics and location shooting in Germany make this an extremely attractive graphic adventure. It's easily one of the most spectacular adventure games yet. It's hard to go wrong with a game like The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery. Composer Robert Holmes's fantastic background music and effects also add to the mystery and suspense. The simple point-and-click interface allows you to concentrate on learning the truth behind the brutal murders instead of constantly worrying about hitting the right buttons at the right instant. The story is intriguing and it only gets more complex the closer you come to the truth. The Beast Within is also commendable for its game play. The brief movies that open and close each chapter also have extraordinarily high production values. Both the voice acting and the script itself are excellent. The photo-realistic backgrounds (shot on location in Germany) and the main characters were all transferred seamlessly from film to the game and it plays like a truly interactive movie. Weighing in at six CDs, The Beast Within is one of the largest and most impressive graphic adventures ever produced. But when Gabriel and Grace finally reunite, the most terrifying of possibilities has already come to pass-and only a desperate scheme, all but doomed to failure, has any chance of saving the Shadow Hunter from the beast within. As the mystery unfolds, the connection between these two lines of investigation becomes clearer. While Gabriel heads to Munich in search of answers, his partner Grace (whom you also control in alternating scenes throughout the game) investigates a connection between the murders and a historical mystery involving the death of mad King Ludwig II. When Gabriel reluctantly agrees, the mystery begins. The local townspeople whisper that the killings are the work of werewolves and call upon the Shadow Hunter to investigate. Life is quiet at Schloss Ritter, his family's ancestral home, until a series of brutal murders destroys the peace. In The Beast Within, the series moves from the moody streets of New Orleans to the dark forests of Germany, where Gabriel has taken up residence since his last adventure. Once again you play as Gabriel Knight, the last in a long line of Shadow Hunters chosen by fate to wage a never-ending battle against the supernatural forces of evil. Fortunately, its sequel, The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery, matches or surpasses the original in almost every area. The first Gabriel Knight mystery, Sins of the Fathers, is one of those rare games that leaves you completely satisfied but also hungry for more.
