The Moment of Silence succeeds on the level of past adventure games by providing a story to follow and a user-friendly, pick-up-and-play gameplay-mechanic, yet the over-abundance of dialog (good and bad), bad path finding, and some minor graphical issues quell any hopes you might have of this being another break-out hit that keeps the genre chugging along. If the characters in the game had read the title of the project their participating in, and stayed silent a bit more, I might be able to offer a higher score. As it stands now, only the die-hard adventure fan should pick up a copy. Everyone else will find themselves completing that Rubik's cube while the careless banter projects from their speakers, or popping in a copy of The Sleeping Dragon and enjoying its marvels.
