Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Zork
Review: If you've played any of the Zork games, you know how much fun they are. Grand Inquisitor is no exception - funny, challenging, and intelligent. I just wish they would make another sequel already.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious, addictive and totally engrossing
Review: Where can you find an underground garden with real egg-plants, a six-armed sword wielding invisible bridge guard, a spell book with a chant to make purple things invisible, a machine that turns people into small metal objects which can still talk and a wise-cracking but disembodied Dungeon Master? It can only be Zork, where Activision has wisely returned to the traditional humorous format of gameplay. With stunning graphics, a complex but enthralling puzzle system and a script which has you in stitches, Zork Grand Inquisitor is easily the best insight into the Zork world yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best PC Games Ever
Review: Zork Grand Inquisitor is without a doubt the best adventure game ever. If you played the old text versions of Zork, then you will want this game. If you haven't, there is still a lot here to enjoy.

The story picks up sometime after magic was banned by the Grand Inquisitor (who insanely says "I am the Boss of YOU.") You eventually meet up with a magician who has been placed into a lantern and off you go to the Great Underground Empire.

The game itself is full of wonder, humor and clever puzzles. The music adds a lot to the locations and brings a sense of wonder to them. You really feel a part of what is going on. The humor is outstanding. There are several pop culture references that you will catch and there are some slapstick jokes. The humor can be best described as a Monty Python/ Saturday Night Live / Mystery Science Theater 3000 type of humor. The puzzles, at times obscure, are always rewarding when you complete them.

Without giving too much away, you will find many moments of awe (humor wise.) There is the talking door, the funny "singing spell names", and listen for David Lander (Squiggy) doing voiceovers for two different characters.

The DVD version is nice to have. First of all, it keeps the game on one disk. However, it has very strict requirements on DVD decoders. If you don't have one of the 4 it lists, the game will play in normal mode. It is hard to find these decoders now days. However, receiving Zork Nemesis with this is a big plus!

This is one game everyone should own.

Summary: A must for the classic adventurist!
Review: ~~~

I bought this game over two years ago and it was well worth the money. Time and time again I and my family have enjoyed this rare gem.

It is difficult now to find a decent adventure game based in the classic style of simply point and click, though this game should be setting the standard. The easy control system is part of the key, you can't really get into a game if you need to memorise twenty or so keystroke combinations!

Even if you are unaware with previous "Zork" games, please don't let this put you off. The game itself consists of a very original story line weaved with a large helping of humour and suspense, it can be appreciated by both the beginner and the experienced adventure.

Graphics wise the game delights your senses by feeding your eyes with screen after screen of beautiful graphics and wonderful animated and video sequences.

Do not be suprised if you are to notice a few familiar faces in this game, although you have seen them before, they totally engulf you into the characters they portray.

So yes, I throughly recommend this game, it is one that you'll be sad to complete!
