Good story but very aged FMV

I was eager to play the second game in the series. I knew that it was very different from the first one. I am not into FMV games but gave this one a try. Pros -Very good acting (the best I have seen in games) -Excellent story (that is also a little bit educational) -Keeps you engaged for a long time Cons -FMV in this game is obviously very aged. Sometimes it´s tough to endure the bad quality -Easy to miss explorable things on screen. Ends up with clicking everywhere -Some puzzles can be quite difficult to solve, especially if you don´t do things in order (for example: Can I get into this store? Nope. But later I can). I usually don´t use walkthrus but in this game I really had to. Cut scenes and long walks worsened this issue. -Dialogue sometimes gets too loud that it generates noise (bad recording maybe)

The best FMV in town

This game surprised me so much. I was not a particularly big fan of the first GK, and the third was a chore to play (I felt), but there is something about GK2's naturalistic approach to both appearance and subject matter that made me thoroughly engrossed. Good enough acting, but with a great script (Have you ever heard of the language of death?), and puzzles that never annoyed me but kept the story going. I would recommend GK2 to anyone who likes a good supernaturally themed adventure.

A chance to play what I missed

When this game initially came out, I didn't have a PC that was powerful enough to run it. By the time I did, the game was long gone from shelves and it wasn't until last year that I finally played this game. I have never played the other two Gabriel Knight games, but I remember seeing this one on shelves as a kid and was so disappointed that I never got the chance to play. I am probably in the minority here, but I am a sucker from FMV games. I loved Phantasmagoria and to a lesser extent, Night Trap. The game runs very smoothly (as it should in this day in age) and it is a masterpiece to play. I enjoyed the story, I enjoyed the actors (yes, I know the accents aren't up to snuff) and it does have some slightly challenging puzzles. Some of the puzzles might be a bit annoying for the younger crowd who aren't used to adventure games of yore. The only problem I had with this game was I encountered a nasty bug in chapter 3. I had saved my game, and when I came back to the game at a later time, I found the save would load, but everything was completely locked up. I couldn't do anything other than look at things on the screen I was on. I'm not sure what caused this, but thanks to chapter selection and the fact I hadn't gotten far in that chapter, it wasn't an issue to start over and make my way through. So, my advice with all of these old games is to save often and make multiple saves. Side note: splicing cassettes was one of my favorite things to do in the game.

A surprising classic

This was Roberta Williams last stand. She never produced another game better than this one. Full Motion Video can be difficult as one tends to have to deal with repetitive scenes as you explore and try to solve the puzzles and mystery provided here. I also found that the acting was so good that one can actually build an emotional connection to these characters, sometimes a very deep one as game's go. It's a bitter sweet ending to what could have been an unforgettable trilogy. Instead, after the success of The Beast Within, it was torn asunder by the last and final installment.
