KUDOS FOR THE BEAST WITHIN COMPUTER GAME
"If mysteries are your passion, The Beast Within will leave you
drooling."
"Most definitely one of the best games of the year... the action
is intense and the plot unfolds smoothly and rather terrifyingly
at times."
"Gabriel Knight II is the continuation of a brilliant tradition -
the graphic adventure as art. That it combines solid technology
and a marvelous aesthetic with outstanding gameplay is a
testament to a designer who understands that 'the game is the
thing.' Long live Gabriel Knight!"
"The growth in technique and the confidence that Jensen shows in
crafting a believable and interesting story populated by
three-dimensional characters both take this game to a new level.
This one is not to be missed."
"Jensen, who wrote and designed both games, emerges as a master
of cheeky dialogue, splendid characterizations, and sensible
puzzle constructions..."
"Mystery lovers have always had it pretty easy. In the end, the
author solves the mystery for them. That's changed now.
Powerful multimedia companies offer a new form of mystery, one
that places you squarely in the action - and keeps you there
until you solve the puzzles. An outstanding example of what is
probably a new art form is The Beast Within, written and
designed by Jane Jensen..."
"I went out and bought a new quad-speed [CD-ROM] drive... (Okay,
I was planning to buy one sooner or later, but it tells you
something about how powerful the game is that I actually did it
now, just so I could finish this one game!)."
"The video in the game is far beyond good. It is also arguably
beyond the quality of most big-screen fare as well. Acting,
directing, and game visuals in general are so outstanding, this
is the first game, in my opinion, that truly starts blurring the
line between computer game and feature film."
"This is the best interactive, live-action video adventure game
to date. Everything about it is first rate. This is
well-executed, visceral, mentally exhausting, and exciting
entertainment."
"Jane Jensen [has] created a game with well-defined characters
and intricate plotting set in an intriguing world that combines
historical fact with eerie folklore... the result is as
satisfying as it is ambitious."
Jane Jensen's novelization of her award-winning game, THE BEAST
WITHIN is available, in paperback, at bookstores everywhere! You
can also order the book over the Internet at
Amazon.com!
ABOUT THE BEAST WITHIN
In this heart-stopping sequel to Sins of the Fathers, Gabriel takes
on the family title and responsibilities as a Schattenjager, or
"Shadow Hunter". Now residing in Schloss Ritter, the castle the
Schattenjagers have called home for centuries, Gabriel is asked to
investigate a series of murders, believed by the Rittersburg
townsfolk to be the work of werewolves. Although doubting at first,
Gabriel soon discovers evidence that the local police may not be
telling the whole truth in their stories about escaped zoo
wolves...
