Manufacturer's Description
Syberia, Syberia 2 and Amerzone.
A journey of discovery and understanding, inspired from a bygone era… Kate Walker, a young and brilliant lawyer from New York, has come to Europe to negotiate the purchase of a famous Robot/Toy factory; but will soon have her future completely turned upside down… The owner of the factory, Anna Voralberg, has just died. The Heir to the factory, Anna’s brother, Hans, who is a genius inventor, has been missing for decades; lost somewhere between the Alps and Siberia… Kate must find this enigmatic man to finalize the deal. But, in her journey from the West to the East, she will progressively discover and understand the reasons why Hans left his family, never to return. An unlikely pair, young Kate Walker and old, eccentric Hans Voralberg now set off on a journey together: in search of the last of the fabled Syberian mammoths at the heart of a long and forgotten universe. The surreal quest Hans began alone several years ago, will come to a final close as he and Kate face obstacles far more dangerous than ever before, testing their courage and determination. Far and beyond, a mystical Syberia awaits them.

Fun:
Even if you only buy this collection for syberia 1 + 2, it is worth buying. These are 2 excellent adventures.The gameplay is a lot of fun and the storylines are good. If you consider when these games were 1st made and released, you'll agree that the graphics are also quite good. These 2 PC games put the adventure in adventure games.
Amerzone, however, is another story. It wasn't as good. It's one of those rainy day games, when you don't have much else to do.
Adventure gamers alert!
SYBERIA 3 is coming on PC and possibly on Sony PS3. The release has been pushed back due to a problem concerning Sony PS3 restrictions in the U.S.A.
Sony has denied releases of many of Microids games in the Unites States, including the denial of Syberia on PS2. I'm almost certain that the problem revolves around production costs and Sony wanting excessive royalties. Microids is an independent company. Sony should be making more exceptions for these smaller companies, who are now moving into the console markets. Even with the high number of sales of microids games thus far, they haven't had a chance to earn the type of profits needed to release a full scale of multi-platform games. I can't speak for everyone, but I like variety and quality when playing games which is something that is being squashed, when other smaller and/or newer companies can't release their products.

Fun:
I was very impressed with the two Syberia Games (I and II). The scenery is beautiful and the puzzles were interesting but NOT impossibly obscure (as they are on some adventure games). The disappointment in the package was Amerzone which was defiinitely not up to the standard of the other two.
Highly recommended!

Fun:
I was a fan of Syberia before I bought this game, but the sequel blew me away as well :) The graphics and storylines are amazing and fun to "experience", and I almost always found something new lurking around the corner - just waiting to be explored. While I couldn't really see Amerzone as a *real* prequel to the game, or see how it fit in as such, after having played it through, I found much more joy in the small references to it throughout the Syberia games.
Immense value for your money. I have played Syberia again and again for several years before I discovered there was a sequel, and every time I look forward to return to the wonderful world of Benoît Sokal.
If you are looking for something similar, I highly recommend the Secret Files-series :)

Amerzone was rubbish
I already have Syberia 1 & 2 And thought Amerzone would be similar and I could give my copies of Syberia 1 & 2 to Charities and just have one box with all 3 in.
