Conspiracies: the game
Does anyone know anything about this? It's a FMV detective game, more recent than the Tex games. Looks pretty good to me. Any buzz?

Is this that greek game? I seem to recall it being discussed on the old board. If my mind isn't playing tricks on me I believe the general consensus was that the game is pretty decent, but that the actors can't speak english all too well.
Edit: oh and speaking of FMV. Command and Conquer 3 will use it. FMV isn't dead!

C&C Always used FMV... I think it suits it well, and Strategy games are probably the only genres today that can still get away with pulling off FMV sequences (despite what I think).
I will most likely get the game... but I have reached a point where I am old enough to be reluctant to bother upgrading my PC just to play newer titles.

I got it.
It is horrible.
I admit at times it had the feeling of a good adventure but their isn't much mystery and the acting... Oh My God! -I cannot believe they let it out to the public.
It was originally in Greek with just bad acting. The English dubbing is so poor I just couldn't bring myself to play through the game.
Really, it is the first adventure game I haven't finished.
They should pay you to play this game.

Givati, I can't wait to try it out on your recommendation! I'd like to take you up on your get-paid-as-you-play offer. Where do I sign up?

I have to agree with the folks who frown on Conspiracies. I got it from Amazon.com when it was very first released for the US, before it was even available in retail stores. It wouldn't work on my older computer at the time (Pentium III windows ME), and was the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to me purchasing the computer I use now (Pentium 4, win xp, 2.6ghz).
I became pretty disappointed with Conspiracies from the start. It had promise from the beginning, but the acting was very mediocre, as was the filiming (you can actually see the boom mike in several of the fmv sequences!) I too didn't finish the game, but moved on to others and sold my copy of Conspiracies in a garage sale about a year ago for maybe 5 bucks.

Believe it or not, I have seen on some sites that this game has a SEQUEL coming out this next year! Now, if Conspiracies can have a sequel, why not TEX MURPHY? Yea, yea, I know ... Tex Murphy hired Hollywood actors, etc, but have you seen the acting in Conspiracies? UAKM didn't have any "real" actors did it? Come on, Tex Murphy 6, we are waiting for you.
