The extra detail put into this definitely makes it a more enjoyable game than the original.

Enjoyed this, looking forward to the rest of the series. Some puzzles are a bit obscure especially the final "do or die" one where certain things that seemed logical to me weren't allowed and the one correct action was not at all obvious, so I was frustrated at the end by repeatedly dying and reloading and eventually had to consult a walkthrough for that one final step of the game.

loved it, need more games like thisss.

I made the mistake of playing Ben Jordan 7 as my first Ben Jordan game and I had serious problems understanding the style, the themes, and the characters of the series.

But now I've played this deluxe version of Case 1 and it was a blast. I'd describe Ben Jordan as an unique mix of Monkey Island and Gabriel Knight (with an emphasis on GK). I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere of the park (great use of sound indeed), the witty writing, the interactivity, the puzzles, the excellent music, and all those ranger type characters (including The Narrator).

The only distracting (or even plain disturbing) element was Ben Jordan's classic "outfit". I do understand it's already an essential part of the character though.

An excellent improvement over the original game 1!

Good Things:
-Before, it was few things, but now, everything is good about it!

Bad Things:
-
-
- I got nothing.

Too short to be classified as medium length.

This was fantastic. For some reason I just couldn't get into Ben's first case, but this deluxe version did the trick. I beat it rather quick, cause I couldn't stop playing. The puzzles were of decent challenge, and made sense.

I really enjoyed this game for the most part, but I thought it ended too abruptly. I praise Grundislav for making this new version so it is up-to-date in everything (not played the original, though!)
Pros: Great Adventure graphics, nice touch of sound, developed characters, challenging puzzles, humor.
Cons: Ending should have extended a bit longer, the game could have been longer and some happenings were not explained well enough, did not make a lot of sense.

Ive never played the original, just the remake. I liked the game. I like the humorous tone that was kept throughout the game- inter sped with violent scenes; its an odd combination but it worked. I didnt mind the voice acting: it added to the humorous tone- look out for the Christopher Walken impression. Some other comments suggested the plot was ridiculous/unbelievable, but I thought that was the point- its all part of the humor. Fun game, cant wait to play the others.

Good game, good puzzles, poor storyline. The intro was long and drawn out, and at one point ridiculous. What 22-year-old with the brains to finish college is going to post on an online forum that he's in the ghost-busting biz and expect a SERIOUS response in a few weeks? And to actually get a response, and later actually get to handle evidence at the scene of a human death without any prior training? A little TOO implausible for my taste.

I also found the scoring system unnecessary. Scoring in adventure games is more interesting if there are side puzzles and quests to complete for a perfect score. A perfect score in this game happens when you complete it, and that's a bit unfortunate.

Still, a good game, and I'd recommend it, if for no other reason than because the series as a whole flows together well. The puzzles were well-thought out and believable, and the graphics were what one would expect from an adventure game, which is to say, good without trying to be photorealistic. The voice acting was terrible, however. There were times where you could actually hear the actor adjusting his microphone, and the voices didn't really match the characters.
