If anyone sees this adventure game at the store and says to oneself, hey, it's been a while since I've played an adventure game and the price doesn't look too bad, he should stop listening to those thoughts.

This game would not be worth $5 if it were thrown in a bargain bin. You can find better games made for that fan-based Sierra AGI thing.

I had no idea that they still made games with such terrible voice acting, and I've already come across some godawful puzzles. PC Gamer gave it a score of 20% and I'm not sure if it even deserved that.

To be honest, I've never sought out a copy of LGOP2. I guess from what they say, that would probably be the worse game. Jazz & Faust is probably a combination of 'I can't believe they still make adventure games this poor' and 'this feels like it should be a freeware homebrew game' feelings.

Jazz and Faust aren't a pair of attractive women either, are they? They sound like angry Germam cinema directors. (But then, are there really any other kind?)

Jazz and Faust are sailors. You can choose to play from either perspective at the beginning of the game. I only tried it from Faust's perspective, but the experience was bad enough that I did not want to try the other.
