Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh

I played this game back in college. I remember being up late playing one night with headphones on, so I wouldn't wake up my roommate. There was one scary part near the end, where I got scared so quickly that I literally jumped up and threw my headphones off. :)

I just remember always liking the scarfhulu Episode about it. And I don't know I just love those old FMV Point and Click games. And if you ask me, they could come back. I think they work really good together. This one especially, well except for the piss poor video quality. Man I whish we could get the original footage and redo this game because this one is awesome. I am pretty hooked with the story, while it is pretty in your face you kinda know who Trevor is, he could just imagine allot of this, does he imagine allot of this, or is everything as real as he thinks? Good character choice. Also the music is so fitting nealry all the time as far as I played, well except with the music in the office the first day. I whished it was more chilled the first day not that ominous. Pretty much kills the first day sort of. I absolutly recommend this game to everyone who likes those kinds of games.

Let's get this out of the way right now: Phantasmagoria 2 isn't a good adventure game. It isn't even good by FMV game standards. The puzzles are stupid, the solutions are illogical, the gameplay is boring and aimless, the actors are lousy, the plot makes no sense. I'm not even sure who this was originally meant to appeal to, but I feel all the slimy and baffling qualities found within have something to offer to fans of the B-Movie and Exploitation Film genres. Forget judging this game by "good" or "bad," it's WEIRD, and not only does the game know it, it embraces it. It has a very specific story in mind that it wants to tell you, with a specific way of telling you in mind, one that could have only been born from the world of USA Network, mail order CD-ROM's, Roger Corman and the hallowed halls of the Unrated Direct-To-VHS section. It's an interactive time capsule into an outdated world of schlock filmmaking and game development that just won't exist again. From a game standpoint, it's not IMO worth your time. However, if you view this less of a game and more of a strange, uncomfortable experience to be had, I think it's amazing. It's one of the few games out there that I'd describe as actually being like a real life nightmare. It operates on total fever dream logic. One minute you could be standing there bored out of your mind, the next minute you're shown some bizarre scene that has nothing to do with anything, then you're back to being bored, and by the end of it all, it goes so, so gloriously off rails. The gross out factor might be tame by today's standards, but there's a certain naivety and organicness about what bad ideas it portrays. There'll never be another game like Phantasmagoria 2 again. Developers are too hip, too ironic, too risk adverse, too "in touch." It's impossible to replicate the time and place and people and circumstances that went into making this game, and I feel as such, it stands as something one of a kind. And one just kind of yucky.

gotta say watching Spoony play this thing made me wanna spend 5 bucks to relive this game in all its campy glory........Now can we please get ToonStruck on here!!!!! i swear id drop 50 to play that again lol

It´s not as good as the first part, but it´s still fun to play. Acting really isn´t that bad. The game is worth playing if you are a fan of fmvs like me.
