I just finished this one. Great game. I really wasn't that impressed with the first two Ben Jordan games, though they were okay. Even Ben Jordan 1 Deluxe didn't do that much for me. But the third game is a fantastic improvement. The mood, the story, the characters and the puzzles were very good at drawing me into this game. I did find some hotspots hard to locate and the one unanswered question at the end of the "good" ending was driving me nuts (wondering what I missed) until I found, on the forums here, that it gets answered in a later game. Anyway, I really enjoyed this game and recommend it. Now it is time for me to play Ben Jordan 4.

The best BJ game so far. Interesting story and characters, good puzzles and wonderful atmosphere. One of the best soundtracks. It's a shame the series didn't reach the same level after the 3rd part..

excellent work. *salute*

Fun, scary, challenging puzzles, non-annoying music, original story and amazing graphics. All the qualities of a perfect adventure game!!!

I'm so addicted to Ben Jordan and this game was so worth the time!!

Now I've always thought the first game was meteocor ok, and the second was pretty good, but not amazing. However, this game BLEW ME AWAY! What a huge jump from an ok game to one of my favorites, to a classic! This was amazing, the plot most of all! The puzzles were great, the graphics were really good, the little comedy was nice, it was tense at times and a little scary, the two way ending was great, and you really get into it. You have to play this now! Wow this was great!

Just finished this the third installment of Ben Jordan. As always the music is great and do a lot for the atmosphere in the game. The characters are also, as in the previous games, very well developed as they should be in a good adventure game (something I've been told I lack a bit in my own games :-) ).

The puzzles are a little bit more challenging then in the previous two games but still not that very hard.

This game also have two paths at the end with two different endings where only one of them will give you a full score while still leaving some questions unaswered so you need to play both paths to get the whole picture and all question answered.

All in all it's a very good game even though I hope that the next Ben Jordan case will have a little tougher puzzles for us to solve.

This being my first venture into the Ben Jordan series, I was not sure what to expect. But what I found was a very delightful adventure game.

Starting off, you are immediately introduced to the story, and a handful of characters. This really helps to make the player feel immersed into the game, and gives them information that will make it easy to figure out what do next to progress through the game. This concept is fairly consistent throughout the game, and you're rarely, if ever, left completely lost in figuring out what do to; One of the game's strengths.

But it's also the game's weakness, as you never feel like you're being challenged. I got through the game with barely a pause to figure out what to do next. Everything is more or less out there in the open, with the story often telling you what to do or where to go next. Puzzles aren't very challenging, either, with just a little common sense being used (sometimes along with hints provided in the game) to solve them. In fact, I think the only challenge for me was realizing that some of the things I found in the game were just red herrings, leading me to believe there might be more to do. This is all good and fine, but I would have preferred something a little harder.

One other thing I feel is worth noting, is the extra work put into the game by providing a small "handbook" to read outside of the program itself. It fleshes out the paranormal aspect of the game a little more, and provides some tidbits to use at certain points in the game. Not that big a deal, but I really do appreciate little things like this that further involve you in the story and the puzzles.

All in all, this is an excellent adventure game, with a solid story and sense of purpose to keep you playing through it. But diehard fans of the genre might not be too impressed with lack of difficulty. Regardless, this is one game everyone should check out.

WOW! Being a huge fan of Ben Jordan, I nearly wet myself when I found this on the Completed Games board. And the laundry bill would have been well worth it for the chance to play this incredible game.

I have long been completely in love with Ben Jordan's debut case, the Skunk Ape, and I really enjoyed the longer second case although it seemed to be missing some of the incredible atmosphere of the first game. Not so Ben Jordan 3.

I could tell I was in for a treat during the games opening moments. Ben's arrival in Scotland during a ferocious storm was positively cinematic. As I continued to play I was inecapabley drawn into the creepy conspiracy and was determined to play until the end in one sitting.

The graphics, as always, are delightful and the range of characters superb. MILD SPOILERS: there is the new angle of a love interest and the superb idea to include a sceptical British detective who is investigating the same case as Ben and wishes he would stay out of the way SPOILER END. There are also multiple endings to the game depending on whether the player performs one key action. SPOILER: Both endings are based heavily on a popular horror film classic which many players will no doubt appreciate SPOILER END. The music also keeps up its high standard.

Basically, if you loved the other Ben Jordan cases you'll adore this one. It marries the perfect atmosphere of the first case with the length of the second and the brilliant characterisations of both to create Ben's best case yet. I can't gush much more so just play the damn thing!
