    The game-play is ok but the camera in the game sometimes sucks .

    Best game series EVER. Instead of surviving the horrors of zombies and monsters as typical police or war veterans, you play as un experienced students who need to survive the horrors of Fallcreak. Great story, great graphics and great fun factor. Highly recommend it.

    A surprisingly not-terrible sequel to a terrible game. Features some decent scares (but not enough), improved gameplay mechanics, voice-over work that is still weak but no longer laughably bad and a story that is better written and more believable than the original.

    Очень Атмосферная игра.Местами сложная и запутанная но неплохо для такой студии.Помню на psp в эту игру.

    Une sorte de… quoi déjà ? une espèce de Resident Debil chez les étudiants mongolos qui ont (encore) consommé trop de produits stupéfiants et qui ont encore la tête dans le fion : voilà-t’y pas qu’ils voient des monstres et des zombis maintenant ! ah les **** cons !

    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

    На мой взгляд, хуже чем первая часть. Ламповость и атмосфера ушли, но зато стало чуть более удобней играть, но в целом, играть можно, но ужастиком тут и не пахнет.

    I don't know why the video game "press" mistreat this game a lot, until a few days ago I had the opportunity to play this game and its sequel and they seemed to me to be very good games in general.

    in short, if you are not called silent hill you are destined to fail, very unfortunate what you see from the "specialized" media

    Before I start, I will say that this game had a very strong influence on me as a child. This is my first horror and it still remains my favorite horror. I have passed ObsCure II three times. Once on PS2, on PSP, and recently on PC. Over time, my opinion has changed about this game. Like, before I would have put 10/10, but now I'm not sure.

I have passed ObsCure II three times. Once on PS2, on PSP, and recently on PC. Over time, my opinion has changed about this game. Like, before I would have put 10/10, but now I'm not sure. The plot is banal at times and even stupid, I would say. But still, I was able to get into the characters, feel something, and that's the main thing. The graphics at the time of release for PC, and this is 2008, looks average, but still gives a creepy atmosphere. The design of the locations is simply on top. The gameplay is clear. It is convenient and interesting to play, but sometimes there were problems with the camera. Throughout the game, interest did not disappear. And the finale struck me with its drama and musical accompaniment, that is, epic. After a while, I still think to try it with someone, either with a friend or with a girl. My verdict: 8/10 PC version.… Expand

    I loved that the game followed it's predecessor story and went deeper with it. 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 ifI loved that the game followed it's predecessor story and went deeper with it.

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

    Unfortunately, Obscure II's solidity of game design tends to fall by the wayside to some glaring technical glitches and generally low production values, making it look like a game from 2005 rather than 2007 at times.

    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.

    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.
