Let me start by saying, that the point & click adventures are one of my favourite genres. Games like The Longest journey, Gabriel Knight, Day of the tentacle, Fate of the Atlantis, Loom and Deathgate I consider among the greatest games I ever played. But Whirlight has too many obvious flaws and annoyances to be one of them. I welcome the difficulty, but not when it is at the expense of the fun and frustrating as hell. Do not get me wrong, puzzles in this game are not excruciatingly hard, but the constant fetch quests, shifting to the right time and running from point A to B to C, then back to A, then to D is not how I picture the fun adventure. Whirlight also lacks the inner logic and be sure, that one way or the other u will end up trying every item in your inventory on every interactive object in the game. But I should also mention the pros. First of all this game oozes the production values perhaps more, than any other p&c adventure for the last couple of years. The graphics are amazing and so are the voice acting and animations. Some jokes and references can also be funny. It is also very long, perhaps way too long for its own good. I shall conclude this by saying, that while I've had some fun playing this game, I can only recommend it to the hardcore adventure fans, desperate for another dosage of their genre, or whait until it is on a sale.
