We were expecting The Riddle of Master Lu to be awful, but it's actually really quite exciting.
Nothing new plot or play-wise - travel across China solving puzzles and collecting seven-faced dogs for your museum, clicking get/look/talk icons.
What makes the game are the superb backgrounds, and in particular the seamless way the video characters are superimposed on them. But sadly, the puzzles are stupidly obscure. A shame. ----------------------------------2/3-- Fun; games 450 Life; your 480 YOUTH'S WATERY CROSSROADS p440
