Rating: Summary: Puzzles Are Fun but not Integrated Review: A much better game than the original Schizm (at least on CD-ROM, I've heard the DVD version was great). Puzzles are challenging, but aren't very well integrated into the game. The storyline is pathetic considering it was written by a "real" science fiction author! Graphics are good, but for some reason aren't as engaging as others in the genre. Good user-interface. As far as the voice acting, let's just say that a certain female in the end destroys anything positive I have to say about the voice acting in this game. She was absolutely the worst voice actress I have EVER heard!!!
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: After Schizm 1 I had high hopes for this game. Too bad. In my opinion, it just isn't as good. I am very disappointed.Why? The puzzles. The story. The graphics. I could go on, but I'd just be ranting and this isn't the place for it. I just didn't like it.
Rating: Summary: What were they thinking? Review: I am a huge adventure game fan, I did Schizm and enjoyed it. I have played all the versions of MYST, and others with a simmilar game play style, as they are my forte, and most enjoyable to me. I usually can finish a game with little or no help, and maybe at times, a hint, to get out of a bind, but this game seemed to have little or no logic, and having had to refer to a walkthrough for MOST of it, I found it frustrating, tedious and annoying. Some of the bizzare sounds in it literally made me nauseous and I had to mute the game to get through those parts! I found that even with the walkthrough, I asked myself repeatedly, how was I supposed to figure THAT out!? The graphics are indeed awesome, or I would not have even bothered to take the time to see it through to the end. It made me tense and was really not worth my time. I frankly would only recommend this game to someone who is a dedicated gamer, and who wants a challenge that could cause you to want to pull out your hair!! The puzzles are too frequent and too random, a trial and error solution for the most part, if this is your idea of fun then you might like it, but for me. . .thumbs down all the way.
Rating: Summary: WASTE OF MONEY W/ NO SUPPORT FROM MANUFACTURER Review: I had so much fun with this game in the first "chapter" but when I reached the second "chapter", on the island, the game came to almost a complete stop. I have a fast computer with tons of memory and have never had any problems with any kind of game before this. I contacted the e-mail address that the website referred me to and I received NO response back. So here I just spent a lot of money for a new game and it won't work and they won't help. Too bad. It had promise. AVOID THIS GAME.

Rating: Summary: Mysterious Dud! Review: I have never written a review before but this game is so bad that I wanted to warn people! I am a college graduate and have played a great many adventure games. If you are not a math and game playing geek, I suggest you read the cheat sheets at Gameboomers. Com to see what you will be getting yourself into before you invest anything in Mysterious Journey 2. The puzzles are continuous and so convoluted that you will spend hours and hours doing nothing but trial and error. There is nothing clever or original about any puzzle in this game. The good graphics are wasted. The characters are at best stupid and the story line is mediocre. By the way, if you do not understand base numbers, you probably will not understand even the cheat sheet. If you loved Syberia, than you will be very disapointed with this dud.
Rating: Summary: Just A Warning before you buy!!!!! Review: I have not been able to play this game yet. It would have been nice to know that you need a video card that supports TnL before I bought it. Costing I found around 100.00 bucks. So now I have to wait till I can afford it. The company should have written somewhere that you need this, because I read the box, and the requirements before hand, and it said nothing about needing this video card. Now I am stuck with a game I can't play right away.....thanks alot!!
