Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned

This is one of the best VG I have ever played! The beautiful backrounds, the enchanting music score, the amazing storyline... It is just a great game!!!

I really recommend this game for all of you who love dark and mysterious games. A master-piece

I've played a lot of adventure games, and this is hands down the best one I've ever done. Gabriel Knight 3 has an awesome storyline with layer after layer of detail and intrigue. The mystery just keeps unfolding as you solve more puzzles and see more and more of the secrets behind the town of Rennes-le-Chateau. Its 3D rendering and graphics look pretty great, the music is striking, and the cut scenes are really well done. The "dream sequence" movie, and the finale, just left me staring in awe. That's what you want from a game like this.

I really liked the characters, too. The interaction, especially between Gabriel and Grace, is excellent, and I really hope we'll see this continued in a Gabriel Knight 4! The only thing I wasn't amazed by was the dialog, which had its moments but was a little too sarcastic, a little too much of the time. However, I think that's no fault of Tim Curry and Charity James, etc., who did a nice job with what they were given.

As for difficulty, I wouldn't say GK3 was very hard. There are complicated puzzles, but if you're in the right place at the right time, it's pretty straightforward. I think that's to the advantage of advancing the plot, which as I said is just beautifully drawn. Gabriel Knight 3 is well worth whatever you pay for it.

The first two Gabriel Knight video games, didn't do much looking at the standing of God. This game is a great example of the look of the ancient battle between darkness and light.

The interface is interesting, the puzzles are complex, and the simple jokes, are entertaining. I like the creative solution for the enigma of the Lanquedoc valley of France. But under it is a good look at the nature of God and Jesus.

I have been a fan of the Gabriel Knight series for about 3 years. I discovered Gabriel Knight II, bought it and was addicted to the series from then on.

I eagerly bought the third title from the series and from the moment the beautifully rendered first shot was seen by my eyes, I was completely hooked.

Tim Curry was, as always, flawless as Gabriel Knight. The script was funny and dramatic whilst the graphics and sound were superb. The music was absolutely fantastic and it captured the mood of the game.

All in all, Gabriel Knight III: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is one of the best games I've ever played. It left me wanting more and hopefully, there will be...

I will begin by describing how I came to know about this game: I had, recently, bought Pharaoh and in its cover there it was: "Rennes-Le-Château guards a frightening secret. Find the truth. Risk your soul." In that moment I KNEW I had to buy that game! Were I live it is extremely hard to find adventure games, but, luckily, I had fortunate and found it. Immediately after starting the game, and Gabriel waking up, I open the door leading to the hall and there was the feeling that makes Gabriel Knight nr. 1 - the perfect symbiosis between the music and the and the location – the perfect atmosphere! In that simple hall I knew the game would be one that I would enjoy very much. After 5 minutes of game, I began to understand the plot and the more I wanted to play. It is an exceptional well written theory about the Templars and its relation with the mysterious French village of Rennes-Le-Château that supposedly hold their treasure. All of the characters have a great presence and throughout the game we will learn valuable information about them and their reasons for the trip. The game also shines, because, although the plot isn't real and has many parts full of fantasy, it is presented and justified by true facts of Templar history. To end this modest review:

Music 10/10 – David Henry and Robert Holmes really did a wonderful job!

Graphics 10/10 – although they are not very detailed, they are good enough and 'fit as a glove' on the gameplay.

Gameplay 10/10 – by using that 3D graphics engine, the gameplay is very simple and ables the player to see the action from many angles and gives the sensation of presence in the scene.

Plot 10/10 – there wasn't a single scene of the plot I didn't like: well written and well presented it has the perfect atmosphere!

Overall 10/10 – all of the crew that worked in this game should be congratulated for this amazing game, which I have played over and over with always more enthusiasm than the previous time!
