 Completely Dysfunctional Product; ZERO Customer Support November 25, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased "AGON: The Mysterious Codex", new, in early November of 2008. The game is entirely inoperable.
I followed the limited instructions on the support site, with no success. I have written to the two support addresses provided, but I received no reply from the first address, and my message to the second address bounced back as undeliverable. I have found many reports in discussion forums by others who have had the exact same experience as I. Details are below.
Every time I get to the sleeping guard and try to approach the key box, the game quits-shuts down altogether, returning me to my desktop.
The first time this happened, I opened the game again, and I had lost all of my progress. (Although this juncture is very early on, in the first episode of the game, I had still lost a considerable amount of progress- that is, time spent reaching that point in the game.)
I started the game from the beginning, but when I reached the exact same point in the game, the exact same thing happened.
So I started the game from the beginning, again, but this time, saved my position precisely when I reached the sleeping guard. However, when I tried to approach the key box-the same thing happened.
I have tried several times, but every time I approach the key box, the game quits. I am completely stonewalled.
I went to and downloaded the recommended patch for "Agon: The Mysterious Codex (PC)", which downloads to my desktop as AGON-UB-Patch.zip, but I cannot unstuff it, although I have tried using several different professional applications to open it. In every case, I receive an error message reporting that the file cannot be extracted.
I sent a message to , the first address provided in the jewel case insert of the game I purchased, yet, two weeks later, I have received no response.
I then sent a message to , the second address provided in the jewel case insert of the game I purchased, but the message bounced back to me as undeliverable.
I have spent hours of my own time online, searching for guidance, answers, options, support, or fixes, to no avail. I have, however, discovered many entries in discussion forums by others who have purchased "AGON: The Mysterious Codex" and are experiencing exactly the same dilemma as I.
**These customers report being unable to solicit a response from any of the product support resources to which they have been directed.**
In several forum entries other customers describe their inability to unzip the patch file , so I know that this experience is not particular to my case.
This is an absolutely inexcusable lack of support for a product that is new, and quite costly. Not to mention that the product itself is completely inoperable.
My specs:
I have a *Dual* *2GHz* processor with a massive amount of memory (1.5 GB).
My hard drive has almost no data on it (I keep almost everything on external drives). Everything about my hardware and software is in perfect condition.
I have no problems with any other software. I often use Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign all at the same time, together with other applications running, and yet, never before, in all my time on this computer, has my computer crashed like this.

Challenging and enjoyable. The puzzles were excellent, some requiring help from another person, but that made it more fun. The ending wasn't a "cliff-hanger", but certaintly left you wanting more. It did require the use of a "Cheat" in a couple of spots where the obvious wasn't obvious. But, that didn't spoil the game. Good enjoyable story line.
Recommended to puzzle fans.
 An okay game but not great............. November 22, 2007

Having just finished Agon with my girlfriend, we bought this game due to the reviews and I must say we were a little disappointed with it. The graphics are good, but it tends to be a very tedious game of going back and forth a lot to do things. I also agree with the reviewer about being able to move faster when having to go back and forth. You can't......
Overall, take it leave it with this game, but I will probably get episode 4 when it comes out........
 I loved this, but it ended too soon. May 13, 2007
Excellent game, moved along well, graphics were good, kept me up nights wanting to go further, color was excellent, nice story line, puzzles were difficult but not impossible, it ended too soon for me. Have to get the next one soonest.
Fun, enjoyable game May 7, 2007
I had a good time with this game, though some of the back and forth trekking was tedious. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
