    With too much suggestion to solve the enigma and a narration not so evocative, Black Mirror 2 tells a story without rhythm and rubs out the challenge.

    Pile of corpses, dismay, madness and one family curse returns in style. You can find Black Mirror 2 a little tedious at the beginning but overall you'll enjoy its gripping story. The original still stands undefeated though. [Feb 2010]

    It's a funhouse mirror, providing a totally new perspective on a familiar place, but gaze into it once and you won't want to look away.

    If you are looking for a good story, Black Mirror 2 is the game for you; if you are looking for a good adventure game, you will have to face poor puzzles but even a shiny and well characterized world. DTP fails to reach its previous success, but the result is a good game anyway.

    A cliffhanger ending for a sequel to a seven-year-old game that most people haven't heard of just isn't acceptable. Plonk, it lands safely on [60].

    It's hard to be fully enthusiastic about Black Mirror 2, with its easy puzzles and lousy atmosphere.

    And we got a winner for... most annoying player character of all times so far.

He even beats Secret Files Tunguska's logorrhea as he talks even more any time you click anything, of course through his nose (the talking, not the clicking.) And no, not in a humorous way: all he does is whine and whine and whine. I had to give up one hour in.

    Apart from that, the game is a dull version of things done so many times before, with a weaker than average interface (hot spots you can barely see, unnecessary clicks, a button overlapping the game world...,) bad voice acting, and so on.

    Frankly, if you can bear the protagonist, you might get your dull fix out of it, but I'd rather replay Shadow of the Comet or such from the early 90s.    … Full Review »

    The Black Mirror 2 is a good horror point and click adventure game. This game nails horror, and by horror I don't mean jump scares. I meanThe Black Mirror 2 is a good horror point and click adventure game. This game nails horror, and by horror I don't mean jump scares. I mean creepy and unsettling environments and events that are occurring throughout this game.
    This game starts out slow for the first 15 to 20 minutes than quickly starts to ramp up. You start in Maine USA as a different character than you played in the first Black Mirror game. While in certain areas this game feels like a step up from the original, it feels like this game is almost setting up the scene for the 3rd in the series in terms of story, characters, and setting. Graphically there is a big different between this game and the original. There is also the option to hold the space bar and see all the hot spots or areas you can click on the screen to interact with. You can toggle this on and off any time during the game in the options menu which can help you out instead of being forced to look up a walk through online which is a nice touch compared to the first game.
    Make sure to play the first Black Mirror game or you will be lost when the game starts referring back to the events and characters that take place in the first game. This is a good game but I feel like it doesn't have quite the same type of dark and gloomy environments that I loved in the first game. The Black Mirror series is worth your time.    … Full Review »

    На уровне 1 части, только графика лучше и геймплей чуть упрощён.
