  Gamerz-Edge PC - Dreamfall: The Longest Journey PC Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Dreamfall is a much easier game in that respect, as you will flow through puzzle situations swiftly, which is nice, but sometimes you wish things weren’t laid out so obviously for you.
Dreamfall does a superb job of getting you interested in everything in the game’s world, including not only the main characters (you actually get to play as three different characters throughout the course of the game) but dozens of other NPCs that you will converse with.
Oh, another important point about the conversations in Dreamfall is that they are largely automated—you generally pick the direction or tone you want to go, but you aren’t responding to every sentence with a set of four or five built in responses, for example.

Dreamfall is set in the 23rd Century, where a young woman accidentally uncovers a conspiracy related to dreams; a conspiracy that may herald the destruction of the twin worlds of science and magic.
Dreamfall is an amazing journey that propels players into a world where science and magic and art and music combine to make a whole much greater than the sum of its parts.

 Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (PC) Reviews. PC Games Reviews by CNET.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Dreamfall packs not one but two of the greatest female protagonists in all of gaming.
Dreamfall doesn't seem to have nearly as many complicated puzzles in it, but on the flip side, that means you can enjoy this story without running into many roadblocks.
Dreamfall earns its M rating through a little bit of ribald humor and some profanity that's used very liberally by certain characters, and yet applied with restraint overall.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, the gorgeous sequel to the critically popular and popularly ignored PC adventure The Longest Journey, is more dream than video game.
Dreamfall’s story is long, immense, complex, promising and eventually disappointing.
Dreamfall’s developers should have revisited the smart and rewarding text adventures of years past for some inspiration.

 PC Format - Gameplay - Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
Dreamfall is very linear: puzzles are extremely easy, so there’s little satisfaction in completing them.
Ultimately, though, Dreamfall is about the experience, it’s about moving you, touching you, making you think.
Its primary objective isn’t to engage you as a gamer; it’s to engage you as a human being.

 Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (pc: 2006): Reviews
Dreamfall is a triumph of (unfinished) storytelling that deserves to be in every gamer's collection, despite sacrificing a little too much gameplay for its own good.
Dreamfall is worth the effort but could've done without the fighting; those scenes aren't essential to the plot, add nothing to the gameplay, and will only turn off die-hard fans of The Longest Journey.
Dreamfall never taxes the brain, and progression is more often than not a case of running to the next location and having a bit of a chat.

 RPGFan Reviews - Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
Dreamfall is a quality adventure title with one of the best stories in any recent game, but that doesn't stop it from having some issues, mainly with its new fully 3D environments and movement and inventory control.
Dreamfall, quite simply, is an expertly scribed game with one of the best stories, science fiction or fantasy, in any recent game.

 GameSpy: Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Review
Dreamfall is the follow-up to The Longest Journey, GameSpy's 2000 Adventure Game of the Year.
When the balance between the two worlds is violated, it's April who must step in and save both the realms of science and magic from being destroyed.

 LIFETEEN.com - "Leading Teens Closer to Christ"
Dreamfall has to diminish the overall graphical detail in order to allow the camera its mobility, but that doesn't mean the world looks terrible.
But that only adds to Dreamfall's immersiveness, for it is often so in our own world that the places we remember fondly change from how we remember them, and not always for the better.
Finally, Dreamfall places a great emphasis on the virtue that motivates self-sacrifice, on overcoming a selfish attitude and replacing it with a selfless attitude that is motivated primarily by the well-being of others, even if it means one must give one's own life for them.

 Dreamfall review
All the same, all the characters have access to a journal of objectives; in Zöe's case, this is on her mobile phone, but April and Kian also have a similar list, without need for a mobile phone.
For many people, this will be the first 'feature' you encounter with Dreamfall: if you don't have 7GB free on your OS disk (the one with your Windows and Program Files folders), you can just forget this game for the time being.
When you start the Dreamfall installer, it checks that you have enough space -- not on the disk on which you might like to install the game, but only on the one on which your current version of Windows is installed.

 Preview - Dreamfall: The Longest Journey // None /// Eurogamer
Although we'd have to wait for a proper hands-on session to really decide whether Dreamfall is the "great evolution" of the adventure gaming genre that Funcom is billing it as, it's certainly heartening to see someone trying to push the criminally ignored genre forward.
The dialogue is sharp, the puzzles smart and satisfying and the visuals as lavish as you'd hope.
Dreamfall is on track for release towards the end of the year on PC and Xbox.

 Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
The original was a straightforward point-and-click adventure with a good story and creative environments, but while Dreamfall retains some of those elements, it also includes some questionable action sequences that feel tacked-on to appease the console and action-gamer crowd.
Several of the original game's characters also make cameos in Dreamfall, but again, they'll only be recognized by those who played the original game.
As far as the playable characters, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey features three, each of whom you control at different times throughout the game.

After playing Dreamfall and using their combat system, I understood why TLJ didn't have a combat system of its own.
I suppose that death added something in Dreamfall in a couple of places, but most of the time it just felt really unnecessary, an extra, added frustration when I really just wanted to focus on the puzzle.

 Boomtown - PC
I seem to consistently find myself dangerously close whenever a sequel to one of my favourite games is released, and The Longest Journey was a stunning adventure; detailed in its engrossing and lengthy story while providing a large number of brain taxing puzzles and cinematic glory (yes, I enjoyed it).
His is clearly a master storyteller, which is ultimately what keeps you playing, but I hope for any future incarnation of the series someone reminds him to do puzzles well rather than sacrifice them for a shoddy bit of action.
Dreamfall is still a fantastic experience but has fallen short of what I expected from the game after The Longest Journey’s item puzzle heaven.
