Very Nice

This is a nice follow up to the original. The game has a great gothic horror story. Good puzzles, good humor and fair acting. Highly recommended when you like to be boggled for hours and hours and like horror stories like this one. It's an old game but it's a very good one. Check it out, it's a must see/play.

Pointless puzzle adventure

If you enjoy solving brainteasers like arranging certain pieces on a chessboard so no piece can be captured, buy a puzzle book. The 11th Hour is just so much visual eye-candy around a pathetic plot and a series of boring puzzles. The FMV sequences have next-to-nothing to do with the gameplay itself, and Stauf's constant taunting soon begins to grate. Avoid.

Decent follow-up

While not nearly as good as the original, The 11th Hour is a decent sequel with a good storyline, fair acting, and rich atmosphere. Some of the puzzles are a little too hard, but that's why they have a hint system. Another good performance by Stauf, too!

Quotes
[Edward Knox appears in the library, wearing a tuxedo and holding a glass of wine]
Edward Knox: Sorry! Didn't see you come in.
[Knox gestures to the glass he is holding]
Edward Knox: Just samplin' a little something from Stauf's cellar. Would you...?
[Knox shakes his head]
Edward Knox: I guess not. After all, you don't have time for that, now, do you? You're looking for her.
[Knox gives a conspiratorial wink]
Edward Knox: I know. We all know that! But, you see...
[Knox looks around, as if suspecting someone is eavesdropping]
Edward Knox: Someone is coming for YOU. You can't get out! Have you tried the front door? It's quite impossible! And now... you'd better... hide!
[Knox's head swells up and explodes]
