I think I was speaking more of the puzzles than the visuals, as such. Of 
course the visuals help drive the puzzles, so there's some interaction 
there.

Agreed, visually speaking. It was just that the puzzles were rather 
lame, is all. Very artificial "run around and collect these points to 
prove you've been every place we've drawn."

Actually, as I think about it, it wasn't *too* bad. I remember the level 
with the treasure room, and thinking halfway thru "how lame, just a 
bunch of locks", and then realizing yah, it's a treasure room, so it has 
locks on it. :-)

Oh, really?  Very cool.  I'll have to see if I can get Uru to install. 
(Damn video card: had to upgrade the driver to play Revelation, which 
broke Uru. D'oh!  Maybe a reinstall at this point will fix..)

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
