These fine websites have reviewed the game: why not add your own review?
The Independent – not really a review as such, but an excellent summary. Check it out!
Gamewizchronicles / gamesforall
Bytten: 85 percent for Dante! The game might have scored higher, but I don’t think the reviewer found all the tricks for fast navigation (the map, space bar and arrow keys)
Adventure-Island: - first review of the Divine Comedy! In Dutch, but it begins: “Tolworthy succeeds in his goal to make each book better then the previous one” and scores 8 out of 10!
Slashdot (about the game concept and the ACG interview)
Adventure Classic Gaming (an interview, not a review)
TIGsource – The Independent Gaming Source
Gameboomers discussion (not everyone here has actually played the game)
Mobygames (just an entry, but you can add a review if you like)

Chris is either a madman or a genius… or both!
I can’t imagine how dedicated a man must be to bring such unique vision as the “Enter the story” cycle to life.
Les Miserables is like no other game out there; the gameplay has its flaws, but the overall experience is unforgettable. Something very different from the uniform, dull trash that big corporations produce.

Just like to echo Blaze. I was at first dubious about the graphics and lack of speacking, but I soon realised that they suited the game to perfection. I love the graphics, they don’t dominate the game they complement it. The best bit about the game is it is an intellegent game as opposed to a cleve game. A clever game is busy telling you how good the maker of the game is an intellegent game is for the pleasure of the person playing the game. I love the idea of being able to ask hugo when one is really stuck, not too often, Chris is not trying to trip you up but rathe getting you to open your mind and thing wider, He has the courage to follow the book, without giving anything away there is a part that a corperate produced game would have ducked, this game stays with the book. I loved playing the game, I have abandoned so many games when they insult my intellegence, this game I really enjoyed the experience of playing.

On the whole, I’ve enjoyed the game very much. Just two flaws I would like to point out:
One, sometimes Hugo’s tips are not sufficiently clear. I spent ages trying to find the place where Boulatruelle hid the treasure, for example.
Two, the possibility of making false choices is missing. The worst case is that it takes you ages to get through the game, but you apparently cannot loose. So, unfortunately, the game becomes boring after a couple of times. If you could loose, for example, if you take to long to find a way to get into the convent, or could make false choices, like not going to Arras, the game would gain so much tension…
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the first few times I played.

I really enjoyed both Les Mis and Dante (the latter slightly more- the conclusion was spectacular and normal gameplay was interesting and enjoyable), and the screenshots from the upcoming Genesis of the Gods look just breathtaking.
I loved experiencing the tip of the iceberg whilst travelling between Les Mis and Dante, entering into the different stories- I can’t wait until there are five, six, seven stories to travel through…
I think Tolworthy is definitely succeeding in making each game better then the previous one, as the Dutch review nicely put it
I would recommend these fascinating games- sure to keep your interest hooked for the next release.
