    Unlike the other installments in the franchise, Clock Tower 2 (or Ghost Head in Japan) takes a different approach. Rather than having various stalkers trying to hunt you down and the only way you can defend yourself is by hiding, you actually fight back in this game using things like guns, brooms, knifes etc and because of that, the game doesn't really feel like a Clock Tower game butUnlike the other installments in the franchise, Clock Tower 2 (or Ghost Head in Japan) takes a different approach. Rather than having various stalkers trying to hunt you down and the only way you can defend yourself is by hiding, you actually fight back in this game using things like guns, brooms, knifes etc and because of that, the game doesn't really feel like a Clock Tower game but rather as a Resident evil game. This game is somewhat scary but the stalkers never really feel threatening since they aren't programmed to find you. Something that does feel like Clock Tower however are the multiple endings and as always, the game doesn't tell you how you can obtain them. If you like the idea of Resident Evil and Clock Tower morphing together then I would recommend it. However, if you want a traditional Clock Tower game, i'd go with 3 or the first one (second one in Japan).… Expand

    Eerily successful at creating a creepy, spine tingling atmosphere. The music and sound effects perfectly match the suspenseful story.

    Little effort went into trying to elevate the premise of the game (a young woman struggling with the evil side of her personality trying to emerge and cause deadly mischief) into something more psychological and frightening than what we ended up with.

    It's slow as tar, and while there are plenty of frightening moments set in the dark, they aren't nearly as scary as the time my six-fingered uncle came over for dinner. Now that was scary!
