Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within

Recently played this version of the game on my Asus Transformer pad, ran fine by installing in windows, dumping the installed files on the tab and running sierra.exe through dosbox turbo! If you like mystery horror stories, you will probably find this the best story ever written in a video game, the way it blends fact and fiction to a point where its hard to tell where the fact ends and the fiction begins is genius. The story is fairly slow paced but extremely suspensful, helped a lot by the excellent acting by pretty much every cast member, which is a rarity for fmv games. The fmv itself is only in 256 colours but still looks decent most of the time! The interface is simple and the puzzles are mostly logical, but you may get stuck a few times. The puzzles are all object manipulation based so if you aren't a fan of slidey tile 7th guest/myst type puzzles this is the game for you! The length is good, even if you know what you are doing, or don't get stuck it can take a good 8 hours+ So if you played an fmv game once and it put you off them for life, throw all that out the window and buy this game! as long as you like mystery/horror storys and graphic adventures you can't go wrong!

Deserves the title the best FMV game

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)

This game is fantastic so far. A bit linear, but I'm really enjoying it.

I like the 90s atmosphere and sound design is top notch. Writing is awesome (like you can expect from Jensen). Oh, and there is a game somewhere in here, you point AND click even!
