    Playing like a slightly more action orientated version of the PSone Resident Evil titles I tried on a number of occasions to play through Parasite Eve II and, while I enjoyed it on occasions, I never did muster the enthusiasm to see it all the way to the end.

    Essentially Resident Evil with RPG elements bolted on, it has a certain "what happens next" appeal but some of the puzzles are counter-intuitive and the combat a little weak. On the whole a decent adventure but it never captures the imagination in the same way as its zombie-related inspiration.

    A weird combination of action, puzzle solving, and strategy that is freakishly fun.

    If you enjoyed "Parasite Eve," be prepared for something different -- better in gameplay, but maybe not as classy in story.

    A cracking title, that's so finely tuned and crafted as well as addictive and compelling.
