After finishing part one yesterday, I knew I had to pick up part two after reading some reviews. I was a bit sad that part two was not as long as part one. There's a decent amount of areas, but there are fewer cast members, and the job subplot is worthless. It was still worth at least 10 hours of game play.
Even though there's more pixels, I did experience some interesting glitches. None of the character mouths moved correctly. They always moved way too quickly. During Act 3 after getting a mask, all characters walked two times as fast. Kind of a benefit going between scenes. I also noticed that dialog would get cut off for most characters after the half way point.
The puzzles are still fairly simple, and the items you need aren't hidden too much. Except in Act 3. It's like someone decided, let's stop putting things in plain site. Then they decided not to give any clues, or maybe I didn't find them, for the end game puzzle. Took me almost 30 minutes to hunt and peck my way through it. Aaaah adventure games. Good times!
So, I give this a two for keeping the play style the same, good creative direction and over all look. The wrapping up of the subplots is God awful. I know we're using the phone as a device, but really, cell phones working in the tundra of Siberia? Come on. This was also one of my challenges with part one. The subplots are just crammed down your throat whether you like it or not. Though, in the first game, one of the other characters is used in a puzzle. So, there is that. I don't know. I just really hate the cell phone.
