Reception
Scott Osborne of GameSpot gave the game a 7.0 "Good" rating and said "Road to India is a fine example of old-school adventure gaming with a modern presentation."[1] Tamara Schembri of GameSpy thought the game was imaginative and stylish, albeit not perfect.[2] Staci Krause of IGN wrote that while the game was entertaining, it was too short for the experience to be wholly recommendable.[3]
