The Beast Within is the second installment of the trilogy presenting the dark adventures of Gabriel “Schattenjäger” Knight. This time the protagonist is on the trail of a strange wolf, murderer of a little girl. Gabriel was asked to take care of this evil and suspects that this case is paranormal in nature. Together with his assistant, Grace Nakimura, he discovers the dark truth behind the history of Bavaria.
The game employs full motion video technology to its fullest. The actors move through photo-realistic sceneries and every action leads to an FMV sequence. The game is a classic point-and-click adventure where you lead two characters through masterfully designed riddles, tons of life-like detective work and perfectly scripted dialogue. The friendly user interface is a finishing touch making this title a masterpiece you don't want to miss.

I already have Gabriel Knight 2, and have tried installing it on Windows 7 64 bit, but it keeps giving me a message saying that it will only work on a 32 bit windows 7. Is there anyway around this without installing Virtual PC? On this site it says it works on windows 7 32 and 64 bit. How does that work?
I bought this recently in the gog xmas sale. when I saw that it was in complete full motion video I expected it to be really crap. However I'm currently playing it and having a great time. The acting is quite believable and I've laughed a few times. The game puzzles aren't too challenging - but what makes this game is the characters.
one of the best FMV detective games ive played... works well on my computer ( acer laptop with vista, onboard graphics, dual core 2ghz chip and 3 gig ram )
If you like point and click and FMV games you cant go wrong with this one
I love FMV. Pixelated video and real photographed backgrounds are much more engaging than any kind of a modern bland and empty 3D CGI graphics companies like Telltale are doing.
Also, I think Dean Erickson was better Gabriel than Tim Curry.
The story is not as good as in the first and the third games. It has a lot of potential, but I just can't get myself interested in animal trafficking, Ludwig II or Wagner's operas. The whole werewolf thing also ends up being quite light. Fortunately the actors are really good and give just enough enthusiasm to their characters to make it all enjoyable. The general atmosphere is really good too. The puzzles are pretty simple with a few tougher exceptions.
If there would be an option to give 3½ stars, I'd give it that. But as there isn't, I think 3 stars would be a bit too low, so I'm giving it four stars.
I'd really love to see a new Gabriel Knight game with Dean Erickson as Gabriel.
Game is great. However, his acting is ...well...I hope he has another type of career.
The facial grimacing and general fidgeting he does is quite annoying.
