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
The second in the Gabriel Knight series, this one switched to full-motion video, which was all the rage at the time, but it is one of the few games I've seen that pulls off the transition really well. The story (which, as you might expect, involves werewolves) sees Grace and Gabriel travelling to Germany to uncover the truth behind a series of brutal murders.
I played through this game with a friend of mine back when it came out. I found it to be quite enjoyable. It does use full motion video, but at the time it didn't really bother me, which is a bit surprising. I think for the most part it was done quite well, but there were definitely some times when we had some laughs making fun of a few of the actors. The game definitely does not sacrifice any interactivity though; even though there's a lot of video, there's just as much full-on puzzle solving, and I appreciated the fact that almost all the puzzles actually made logical sense and avoided the adventure game trap of being overly obtuse. I can't remember if we ever got really badly stuck... I think for the most part we were able to figure out the puzzles but we might have consulted a walkthrough a couple of times.
Definitely worth checking out for fans of adventure games.
Back in the day, I played this game and it was awesome. It was really fun to go back and relive all the classic scenes from the game. If you like supernatural mysteries, this game is for you. It's not that hard, and there are lots of funny things throughout the game. If you haven't played the first one, go back and see where it all started.
An other game that just won't work on my system (Top of the line coreI7 processor, graphic and sound cards). I tried to run it on Win7 but it just freeze as soon as I try to get into the car. I tried all the tricks available on GOG but to no avail. Mind you I got the complete series on GOG at a weekend discount price so I am not complaining about money but just the shear fact that I really wanted to play the whole thing rather than just the last one.
Major bummer!!!
I was intrigued by the idea of this game, after reading the gushing review at adventuregamers and playing the amazing Gabriel Knight 1 for the first time a month ago. I should've read a few of the reviews before wasting money, and more importantly time on this suckfest. I really do not understand any of the positive feedback on this one. After the masterpiece of an adventure game that Sins of the Fathers was, there is nothing good about
this game. Here are a few of the more important flaws.
Acting
Not only is the voice acting pretty bad, especially compared to the MASTERFUL voice acting of GK1, but the full FMV style also forces the second-rate actors to fully act, which greatly compounds the problem. When (whatever's-his-actor's-name) Gabriel Knight version 2 opened the door to his castle, my heart sunk watching his annoyingly smug face. But it got worse from there. This game completely gutted the character that I loved dearly from GK1. This game made him from an intelligent, sly, charming, funny, and laughably pervy Southern guy who gets into trouble and then out again, sometimes by accident, into a bland, bland, bland, bland, bland American guy who acts like your average American tourist in a foreign country and has absolutely no redeeming qualities. If I were these Germans suffering from the ravages of the supernatural, he would be the last person I would turn to. What makes GK2's Gabriel's horrifically ugly butchery of the German language that much more stupid is GK1 Gabriel's almost perfect pronunciation of German despite not having lived there!!! What, am I supposed to believe that constant exposure to the language made him WORSE? The actress who plays Grace is almost as bad, and right there you have the two main characters. FMV's worst problem isn't its goofy style that makes it feel more like a game/movie Frankenstein, it's that the pool of voice actors is extremely limited by the fact these people also had to look and act the part. None of the insanely talented voice actors from GK1 looked the part, but they also literally blew me away. So they got replaced in this one. If it ain't broke, why oh why did they have to fix it?? On the other hand, the actress that played Gabriel's housekeeper is extremely attractive. But if that is the sole reason they had for making the entire game FMV, because they wanted to show off a hot blonde, there is something seriously wrong with the developers of this (but we knew that).
Interface
GK1's interface was really, really, really bad. Somehow they found a way to make it a lot worse. I think the sheer magnitude of that achievement is what earns this game a star. Oh wait, no, that was the lowest I could rate it. Oh, and no captions in this game despite almost everyone in the game speaking in a heavy German accent with early 90s-era video game sound quality? Ugh. My late night adventure game sessions of blasting the audio of poorly-written German-accented lines confused my roommates, no doubt.
Story
Most predictable story ever, in any medium.
Puzzles
You know what. . .
Everything
Don't buy this. Don't go anywhere near it. Play GK1 if you haven't already. I hope GK3 sucks, because after this, not even the return of Tim Curry would be enough to make me go anywhere near another game like this.
