![]() The sound effects that accompanied weapons clashing, animals growling or weather churning were done superbly. With a soundtrack that reminded me The Usual Suspects and dozens of well-acted voice characterizations, this is a great sounding game. While the graphics could be improved upon, Silver's sound team hit its mark perfectly. Each is also amazingly complex with dozens of paths and passageways and I found myself exploring new territory each time I returned to an island. Each island in Silver presents different terrain and challenges. The cold gloom in Raine contrasts nicely with the rolling meadows in Haven. The background scenery in Silver is quite good and varies from scene to scene and town to town. Silver has a diverse cast of characters and each has a unique personality and skill set. The animation is fluid but because the characters are polygon-based, there are times when odd gaps and overlaps appear. The on-screen characters look a lot like the human figurines you get in Lego sets (this is not to say they are necessarily bad-looking). Graphically, Silver is above average but not spectacular. ![]() Although an extremely good game, there are nagging problems that keep it from being perfect. Silver is one of those games where hours slip by unnoticed and just when you think you've reached an impasse, figure out how to advance deeper into the adventure. The game has a tremendous plot, great action and so many surprises I found myself totally entranced. ![]() ![]() If not for a few flaws, both major and minor, Silver might be the greatest game I have ever played.
