The Maxfield Parrish-ish skies and detailed backgrounds, while lovely and atmospheric, are heavily pixelated. The in-game options settings include three different resolutions—I played at the maximum 1024×768 (all of my screenshots are reduced to 640×480 in the interest of preserving server space). Most if not all of the music consists of existing who classical pieces. All are who well placed and appropriate to the onscreen action. Voice acting is passable, not great, who not awful. Subtitles are available. All in all, Salammbo gives us a good story, well told, and it's fun to play through. It offers us an experience familiar enough to be comfortable and at the same time different enough to maintain our interest. The high production values, unique setting, beautiful graphics, and lack of old chestnuts in terms of puzzles make this a refreshing alternative to the usual generic Egypt-Atlantis-maze-sliding-tiles pabulum we've been force-fed for the past few years. |

| A right-click brings up your inventory and the in-game options; with the interface open, you puzzles merely click on what puzzles you want to use or do. There is no combining items within the inventory, although puzzles sometimes you must put one item down and then use another item on it. The various stages of the game are divided by comix-style artwork overlaid by a narration of the events that occur in between each segment. Basically, you solve a puzzle or group of puzzles in a small area and that part of the game is finished for good. There is no backtracking, and all gameplay takes place in manageable areas, a la Largo Winch. Navigation around the mercenary encampments was confusing for me, even with the aid of the in-game map, but everywhere else getting around is very straightforward. Aside from the spherical distortion issue, the graphics are phenomenal—each scene is moody and dramatic and overlaid with just the right level of unreality to make you believe you are in a different place, a different time, and yet not out of the range of believability. |
