I have! Took me about two weeks. Reality was my break in between excursions to these strange and wonderful worlds.
If this post seems too utterly absurd or ridiculous to be taken seriously, don't.

I played it through, even got the collectors edition when it came out (the one that came in the big box that looked like it should have been one of those fake boxes some stores put up around the room).....
I used the strat guide once I think, and then it was because I was over-thinking the problem.... the ballance puzzle that required you adjust the focal point of the teeter-track section and ballance out the pieces with sections of a ball hanging in the shed to the side....
Having I guess a bit more knoledge of physics than most people who play the game I was over-thinking it... the spacing of the pivot points are incorrect for what they are supposed to represent.
The game itself is really pretty.... there are several times where I caught myself sayin "whoa!"

the game took my friend and I exactly 5 days... well, I'm not sure what to call them, we always started at like 11:50 at night and ended at 3:00 am. truly, the only part that I could not get was finding the second bloom in Edanna. and that was stupid.

Beeeeeeuuuutiful game. Immersive to the max, but didn't have as much realism as Riven. Some of the puzzles really stuck out.

The only particularly hard puzzle in that game was the one where you had to focus the three symbols on their respective windows in order to activate the linking books. It's extremely hard to get it centered and focused just right and the slightest inaccuracy could throw it off. I don't know how many times I had to go back and forth, back and forth...

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

I found you don't have to get them focused too well...I got em all on the first try. But I guess I could have gotten lucky...

Well, it's quite possible that I'm just an idiot. 
But as long as I'm a happy idiot, that's fine.
