    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.

    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 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.
