    Van Helsing II is a good looking game, it's certainly no slouch in terms of graphics, but there's something that feels a little lite in terms of the spell effects physical damage against opponents. There's not enough bang for your buck as some of my American friends would say.

There's not enough bang for your buck as some of my American friends would say. As previously mentioned when the special effects kick off for some of the bigger spells and abilities, things can slow down a bit, but compared to the first game it's negligible really.

    It's well animated, the voice work is on par with the first game, slightly over the top in places, but tolerable. The music is good, and the sound work is solid. I've not noticed any audio hitches or glitches at all.

    Overall it's a good game, not a great, or a fantastic one. There's a lot to see and do if you're fond of the Diablo-style gameplay of this genre of action-adventure. There's the extra layer of tactical resource management and a bunch of extra things to discover via the Lair, and the Lair Defence mini-game isn't as much of a chore in Van Helsing I.    … Expand

    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II offers mildly engaging but ultimately underwhelming entertainment. Hardcore fans of the genre who simply can’t get enough of hacking and slashing through fantasy worlds will probably get their money’s worth, but the rest should wait for the game to appear under Games for Gold program like the first part.

    Compared to Van Helsing’s first console adventure this is a step in the right direction. Nonetheless I still don’t understand why Neocore keeps on porting the entertaining, but faulty hack&slays one by one, while they have a Final Cut waiting in the wings.

    While I struggled with the controls a bit, and the change of difficulty was a bit frustrating, I was not left disappointed by my return to Borgovia. With a great story, a quirky cast of characters, tons of quests, and awesome Easter eggs, there is much fun to be had with high replay value.
