    One major plus point in Obscure II is the inclusion once again of co-op play, still a feature that remains unique to this series and one of those things that has you wondering why developers such as Capcom haven't implemented team play into their own survival horror games.

    It's not perfect, but it does offer some solid entertainment value despite some flaws.

    If horror films where the screams are sufficiently high-pitched to get the neighbourhood dogs howling are your kind of thing, then ObsCure II is easy to get into, not too taxing on the brain and just about competent enough to keep you playing for its 15-hour duration.

    It’s not an action game, not with the scarce ammo and omnipresent puzzles, but it’s not Silent Hill either. Rather an adventure in a horror set created mostly with the use of flashlight, screams, whispers and lapping sounds – the monsters, when they finally appear, are somewhat disappointing. [Dec 2007]

    Obscure II doesn’t need reminding of its faults, because it wears them on its sleeve; it’s a guilty pleasure that, despite being technically unimpressive, still provides dollops of cheap entertainment. [Oct 2007, p.119]

    Obscure II is not gripping enough to be survival horror and not good enough at storytelling to be an adventure; it's just a series of quite relaxing puzzles interrupted when some pink things burst through the wall. [Dec 2007, p.89]

    Ugly, last-gen visuals further dampen the fear factor. Muddy textures and low poly counts cause scenery and monsters to blend together into a murky mess.

This part introduced new game mechanics and unfortunately, new bugs with those mechanics. Camera shaking and blurring almost gave me a headache. Anyway, I loved that it kept the co-op campaign feature. The co-op is not well designed but at least it's there since there aren't many choices for games like this if you have low end PC. It was a let down that the game has no replay value (unlockables) unlike the 1st game.… Expand

    On peut « faire » cette daubasse en coopération (lolilol) et on retrouve cette non-jouabilité, cette injouabilité typique des Resident Débiles avec ici toutefois un mélange de caméras fixes et légèrement mobiles qui en font quoi qu’il en soit un TPS navrant, pathétique et injouable avec la caméra (lorsqu’elle bouge) qui fait n’importe quoi.

    L’espèce de « scénario » (ou d’histoire ?) est la suite du premier qui était déjà une merde et on n’y comprend par conséquent que dalle, tout cela sous le prétexte très habituel du non-jeu soit-disant horrifique qui se signale surtout par son mauvais goût à tous les étages et ses « idées », rien que des clichés ambulants évidemment… en guise d’idées.

    Graphiquement pas trop vilain, ce pseudo-jeu reste cantonné aux résolutions en 4/3, ne fonctionne que sur XP et ne semble pas vouloir sauvegarder ni manuellement, ni automatiquement ou bien alors seulement le 36 du mois. Des effets de flou épouvantable donnent par ailleurs la migraine et les voix amerloques sont ridicules (c’est pourtant une daube boulottée chez nous !). En bref et en conclusion, une obscure daube très daubée !    … Expand
