The Dig

Well, I just finished playing The Dig, without solution, and it was hard. But this game is excellent. Sure, the graphics are outdated, but does this really matter for an adventure with such a good story line? The voices, the sounds and the dialogs are very good, the atmosphere is terrific. One of the best Lucas Arts Games, very touching.

This was the best game I played so far, I'm here to ask Mr. George Lucas, to make an upgrade of the game, with new amazing graphics and features, all tech improved, maybe we could extend the game's history and make something unforgettable again, that had big sales.

The concept of a any person, being part of a "movie", on its development, inside the adventure, being a character, be part of the team and have the chance to explore something for the 1st time, with the bless of a great team and his leader "George Lucas" the father of Star Wars...come on!!!! Give us what we want!!!! There is so much that we can do to make the best "actual" game and mark this next generation.

People are asking for this... HE NEED A GAME LIKE DIG or DIG 15th yrs Anniversary.

I played a lot of games before such has FIFA, all GTA's, all AGE of EMPIRES, strategy, action well I could spend a whole evening writing games. But DIG, nothing compares...what an adventure...what a mystery...what a game

I felt this game was not bad. The game had a great plot and made you feel like what you were doing was going to SERIOUSLY mess you up if you messed up. It lacked humor but I felt that was to highlight the seriousness of your current situation. My only complaint was that some of the voice acting was rather bland. Mainly Robert Patrick and Mari Weiss. It was like they were just reading their scripts and felt this was below their talents.

I liked this game quite a bit; the sounds and artwork created the right mood. I even went out and bought the soundtrack CD. There are some pretty tricky puzzles here, especially when you find those alien devices. It's tough I suppose to make stuff look different than what earth people would build yet make it intuitive as to its function.

One thing I'd improve: too often you want to interact with the other characters, and they say "I'm busy, leave me alone". This was handled much more naturally in other LucasArts games like "Fate of Atlantis" and "Sam and Max".

As one of my favourite games, I can't see why the whole world has went The Dig crazy.

It has one of the greatest story lines which is taken at such an angle that when the twists come for you, you genuinely feel shocked or amazed. The characters were brilliant and the voice acting was great. I got myself both soundtracks and I have to say they're some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard and add to the gaming experience considerably.

I'm not going to spoil anything but I didn't expect a lot of things to happen which did. I suggest getting the game and not even reading anything about it before playing it. If I hadn't played the demo ten years ago I probably would have been even more blown away when playing it.

The voice acting is brilliant and the choice of voice actors was brilliant. Robert Patrick (T-1000 from The Terminator 2) was perfect as Boston and the other actors also gave great performances, I can't imagine anyone else voicing these characters. And I don't want to. The way the game was created was perfect and it was unfortunate that it went through so many development changes and bugged Lucasarts so much.

If you like a good adventure game, I suggest you go for this. As a big point and click fan, I say this is one of the best you can get along with Beneath a Steel Sky for the Amiga. I'll be playing this same time next year, and so on.
