Description
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.
  • A fully cinematic adventure game that lets you play both Gabriel Knight and Grace Nakimura
  • Discover the truth about the death of King Ludwig II and uncover the mystery of Wagner’s lost opera
  • Explore actual locations in Germany captured in 1000 beautiful, high-res images

wonderful experience

An amazing game. Well researched by Jensen, with great attention to detail (I've travelled in Bavaria and have seen Neuschwanstein: but Schloss Ritter is a myth). Good acting: far better than some A grade movies (eg, Eyes Wide Shut). I struggled with Gabriel's mumblings and strong accent, me being a downunder bloke, so missed some critical dialogue. The story line was gripping, and had my adrenaline going at times, especially in the forest scene where Gabriel is chasing Zell, and at the very end in the furnace room. Trapping von Glower in the furnace room tested my logic ability to the limit (and I'd thought the tile maze in Broken Sword: Hidden Dragon was difficult). My romantic side hoped that Grace would declare her (obvious) love for Gabriel at the final scene, but she never did (and I now know there's a GK3. Well done GOG.

Pinnacle of FMV Adventure Game

This is my favorite adventure game of all time. Won Computer Gaming World's game of the year when it was released. Full Motion Video Capture was in it's pinnacle with this game. Great production and awesome story line. Don't want to get into it too much, but I highly recommend experiencing this game.

Old one, good one.

The game is good, but not great. I add 1 star beacause it is realy old one (and GK series). For sure game was awesome in past. But actors were realy bad a especially Gabriel and Grace. After third chapter I accustomed to them. Almost everything was predictable and clear. But after some time I used to game and now I say.. OK :)

The best thing about Gabriel Knght 2

The best thing about Gabriel Knght 2 is that it takes place in Munich (and other Bavarian locations). Back in 95 it totally freaked me out to see my hometown in a computer game.
