Acting: better than I expected
Coming off of the first game I expected something similar. Many of the reviews say phantasmagoria 2 is cheesy with bad acting. I found the acting quite believable and not too over the top in most cases. These are obviously not A-list actors, but compared to other sierra FMV games such as GK2 and the first Phantasmagoria, I was seriously impressed with the quality of the acting and direction in this game. Interesting camera shots are used, and I think the use actual sets work better than the computer generated areas of the first game. The quality of the storyline and the production values match or surpass some b-movies from the same time period. The style is similar to the Hellraiser movies, and as a movie it's probably better than most of the later sequels in that series. Well done there! As a game, be prepared to cycle through a very limited location list looking for the one hotspot you missed that progresses the story. Using the computers is kind of fun for a bit, and if you pay attention most of the few puzzles that exist wont be too annoying. But yeah, don't expect too much game here. The "weird sci-fi twist" at the end some reviewers complain about didn't bother me, it was pretty clear to me halfway through the game that it was heading in that direction. Learn to suspend your disbelief, you'll have more fun with this one if you can :)
