The Good:
Beautiful graphics, a great story, unconventional puzzles that are challenging and fun, the GREATEST sidekick in any game I've ever played, a fabulous sci-fi adventure which is also educational!
The Bad:
It eventually ends.
The Ugly:
Some really horrid acting by the guy who plays the main character. I was very happy when they replaced him in JP3. Still, he's only in a few short scenes, and Arthur (the sidekick I mentioned) more than makes up for him. Just grit your teeth and get through those tough bits.
I'm going to play through this game again as soon as my Cheesegirl gets here.
While a bit clunkier than Pegasus Prime (which had the benefit of being a streamlined remastering), this game is still fun, engaging and challenging. The world still feels very well put together and immersive, and the plot is a great continuation of the first, with Earth now part of a coalition of various species as a direct result of your victory in the first game. Naturally, after the attempted time terrorism in the previous game, the issue of whether time travel is too dangerous to be allowed to exist is a topic of hot debate, and drives the plot as you're falsely accused of using your position as a temporal researcher for personal gain and recruited by your future self to clear your name behind the scenes while future-you goes to prison to cover for you. That sentence might sound a little more confusing than it is- the game manages to keep all the time-travel shenanigans easy to follow, while still lightly touching on the issue of paradoxes and the like.
Of course, the most notable change is the addition of a sentient AI partner who keeps you company through your adventure and has humorous or helpful quips to offer at various points. This keeps the game from having the stark loneliness of Myst, while also serving as a built-in hint system. The puzzles are mostly logical and easy to piece together if you're paying close attention, but I confess to having to use a couple hints (mostly for a sequence where going through a door means instant death without any good explanation of why, and the solution involves revisiting a button with hard-to-read text that has to be used in a very specific way).
A few of the deaths are unfair this time- opening one door leads to you being killed with no warning of the danger behind it- but if you save often it's not a big deal, and I don't think you can get stuck except for perhaps one puzzle at the very end. Still, all in all this is a fun sequel and well worth playing if you enjoyed the first game.
Played this adventure game when it came out, back then the graphics+audio were mindblowing: Rendered backgrounds like in the Myst series coupled with motion video. Also the music was good if I recall correctly.
Some puzzles were a bit odd, still lots of fund. A few years ago I revisited the entire trilogy and it was still fun to play!
bought the new double cd from a older friend who stole it somewhere in a shop or supermarket in the late 90's...the leftover-pc from my bigger brother was fast enough for this game & fifa 98 & ea nba live...i tried it & really wanted to play it but i was too young and the levels somehow too difficult, i guess it was the english version back then too (is there any other language version?) & i'm german.....
after buying it here i started the game & now it's playable :)....but i hadn't the desire yet to really play it, just checked the room & travelled 2-3 times....back then i needed the understanding, today the desire :)...
it's a nice add-on for my 2 lil i4770/i4790 4gb gpu 8/16gb ram win10 pc's; on them i play older pc (90's - early2010's)/dos/amiga-emu games...still looking out for older cheap games on sale...
