Its actually like being on the Titanic. Every room has been created with moving, talking people. The only almost silly dump feature is that people's lips are messed up when they talk, but other than that, the graphics are stunning, and the sounds are sensational. Performance is the only iffy part of the game. It constantly froze up, ending my game, and forcing me to reset my computer.
Performance is pretty good other than that, and the game runs very well.
If you don't want an adventure just yet, you can select the guided tour option that lets you walk around the ship freely exploring every aspect of the ship which will allow you to become acquainted with the structure of the ship, as well as the adventure game play. I recommend that you try this feature first. Adventure out of Time is a great Adventure game that is sure to be a hit, and will indefinitely become a classic in years to come.
