The Last Express allows players to interact in real time with 30 characters representing a cross-section of pre-WWI Europe, including Serbian freedom fighters, a German arms dealer, a Russian anarchist, a beautiful Austrian concert violinist, a eunuch guarding a Turkish harem, and a mysterious art collector travelling in his own private car. As the train races east, the player must stay alive while eavesdropping on conversations, sneaking into compartments, battling deadly opponents and defusing a bomb. The story is non-linear; characters act independently, conversing and moving about the train even when the player is not there to witness them, so that every play-through of the game is different.

Find your friend’s murderer! Rated 5 out of5 byChristinaX9 fromA timeless classic This is one of the best murder mystery games I have ever played. Your friend Tyler is murdered on the Orient Express as it sets off on it's way to Istanbul and you must play detective and unmask the guilty party before the journey ends. There is nostalgic international intrigue and mystery as you set off on your quest. You search around, talk to other passengers to obtain clues and move the storyline forward. The game plays and feels amazing even today, I believe it was released in 1997.
I love the art deco graphics, accents, music and effects, especially when the story moves forward. Infinite replayability as different things happen depending on your choices, you will soon find that events may take a surprisingly different turn, you can even be eliminated.
This game offers a real challenge to the would be detective which is just as it should be. I wholeheartedly recommend this game, such a shame they do not make them like this anymore. Rated 5 out of5 byKittyUK fromAbsolute classic - Loved it. I took a gamble at this game, being a bit turned off by how outdated it looked (by the screenshots). I had some credits spare so thought I'd try a game I wasn't familiar with. Let me just say the description for the game doesn't do the game nearly enough justice.This is one of the best adventure games I have played (and I've played quite a few) EVER.
And I don't think I've ever played a game with a story so complete. I've just finished it and can't wait to play it again, there's things I haven't figured out yet that I'm going to go back and explore.
If I had to describe it it's a bit like Broken Sword meets The 39 Steps meets Murder on the Orient Express. There's drama and intrigue, romance, history, tension (there was a few bits that got my heart pumping-that's NEVER happened to me during an adventure game!) and some stories affected me so much so that I actually cried at certain bits.yes, I CRIED. There is so many intriguing stories going on alongside the main adventure.The graphics ARE outdated although I truly love the idea of a remake, keeping the nouveau cartoon animations in those environments but cleaning it up and adding more variety. On the plus side the character animations were so simple and effective that it didn't cause any crashing or issues.
Partly due to the story I became so integrated into the environment, I could hang around listening to people's conversations and snooping forever! Rated 5 out of5 byPowerslave60 fromOne of the original best.
I got this game back when it originally came out in 1997. Even today it looks amazing! What set this game apart from all the other PC adventure games is that no matter how many times you played through it, there was always something new. The way it was able to do that is that everything and everybody on the train went through their scripts in realtime. So even if you're not in the area, the characters are having their little chats or moving around the place.
It can get a little frustrating if you need to be somewhere in order to get a certain piece of information or an item, but there is a way to rewind time back to a checkpoint (which can be doubly frustrating if you've progressed very far in that particular chapter).All in all, it's a very wonderful game that has an amazing storyline that will keep you coming back to see all the things you might have missed. Rated 5 out of5 bypurpleporpoise fromFinally.a game that makes me think! I played this game less than half-an-hour before I fell in love with it!
I read the reviews in the BFG forums before I bought it and they were mixed, but I took a chance. I was a little concerned, since there was no trial, that it would run on my 64-bit Vista PC, but I've had no problems so far. It did rearrange my desktop icons a bit, because the screen resolution changes (I presume to a lower one) when you play the game, but my resolution went right back to what it was once I exited the game.I was a little confused as to how to exit the game prior to completing it (you definitely will not finish it in one sitting), but figured out that if you click off-screen at the very lower right-hand corner, it will take you out to the main menu where you can exit the game. I have a 19-inch monitor and apparently there is a button in the lower right-hand corner that is cut off the screen. I've had that problem with another game, too. It may simply be my monitor. So just be aware of that.
The main menu allows you to exit or come back and continue the game where you left off.Now, for the game itself. The graphics are in a style reminiscent of old-fashioned art deco nouveau. If you're expecting the crisp hi-def graphics of the modern computer games we play now, you may be disappointed.
I happen to love art nouveau, so it doesn't bother me.According to what I've read, the game was first released in 1997. I was intrigued by the descriptions of the game and, after watching two youtube presentations, was sold on it. Just Google 'Last Express' or search youtube and you will find them.All the action happens in real time aboard the Orient Express.
In other words, if you don't move your cursor and you stand in the diner car for 5 minutes doing nothing, you're literally doing nothing in front of your computer for 5 minutes. So technically, I could stop playing, go wash the dishes, fix lunch and come back and pick up exactly where I left off. HAA - love it!The graphics look much like a real film that was then animated and that's my understanding of how the game really was made. There is no explanation of what to do, no sparkles, no hints. There may be strategy manuals online, I don't know. You just click and move along the aisles or wherever you're 'walking' with your mouse, uncover clues and figure out what to do next.People speak to you as you 'walk' up to them.
I DON'T THINK THESE ARE SPOILERS, because they show them in the youtube videos, but people in the diner and coach cars carry on conversations with each other, a little boy runs up and down the aisle of the sleeper car blowing a whistle and irritating his mother who fusses at him, a growling dog warns you away from another sleeper car. People speak French and, but for the translation at the bottom of the screen, you don't understand what they're saying. Very realistic game play and it's fun when you discover something and then you know you're on the right track and the game progresses a little.It's also my understanding from reading other reviews of the game that there are several ways you can play this game out, so it sounds like you could play it over again once you finish and try doing things differently the next time. There's definitely some strategy to be figured out and the game really makes you think about what to do next. I feel like a detective, just like in a real who-dunnit.I give it a 4 on fun factor only because some gamers may not like the atmosphere or the graphics and may find that there is not enough explanation of what you're supposed to be doing to make it enjoyable. But for me, it's a win-win because I love who-dunnits and a challenge. I think this game is going to keep me busy for quite awhile and I'm really glad I bought it.
Well worth the price! Rated 5 out of5 byHunterWarrior fromThank you BFG!
Excellent game!! You can play this dozens of times and it is never the same, due to the fact that events in the game happen both reactively to you and independent of you.
The historical research, acting, and thought that went into this game sets it well apart from the average adventure game. If you are not ready to seriously use your brains, this may not be for you. For those of us longing for a true immersive challenge, this game is the ticket!Soooo excited BFG picked this up.
This game was produced in the late '90s and suffered from bad timing. The entire marketing dept of the company quit, and the company was sold to a firm that was only interested in educational software. So, it won TONS of awards and acclaim, but was a commercial failure. I owned it back then and I am glad to see it here where it can be appreciated again!
Rated 5 out of5 byLudovica fromBest adventure game ever This was the first adventure game I ever played, back in the 90's. I was very frustrated at first, because I kept being arrested as I didn't know what to do with the cadaver. At that time there were no walkthroughs or anything like that on the internet but I kept going and didn't regret it!
I have been looking to buy it again for years and was very happy to see it on BFG.I love he way the animation is done with real actors, I love the art deco graphics, the music is marvelous and the level of challenge is perfect for me. I could play for hours and hours and never get bored. Also as I am French I enjoyed the fact of playing a really good game in my own language.There is action, there are slower moments that give you time to think of what to do next and I found it rewarding to succeed without any clues or hints.This is really the kind of game I love and I wish there would be more like this one. If you like to sit back, relax and enjoy a good adventure game that has nothing do to with ghosts, haunted mansions, music that drives you nut or unsolvable puzzles without a walkthrough, this one is for you.
