Alone in the Dark II - STAY AWAY!

[Wes O'Neel]

I made the mistake of buying the piece of crap. From the intro on, I
was unimpressed with the graphics. They look horrendous. I hoped the
gameplay would make up for it, but I totally gave up in frustration
after 1 full hour of trying, exactlly as the manual described, to fight
the guy with the tommy gun.

I even tried the first game, and was equally frustrated trying to fight
the bird(?) that comes crashing in the window. I wonder if anyone out
there liked this game at all (I or II). And what justified them
making such a pathetic sequal?

I thought Alone in the Dark I was pretty good, but didn't care for number
2 in the series (Both won some major gaming awards, btw). AITD2 just
seemed to have been thrown together with little concern for plot
development.. just 'pick up manuscript describing next gangster', 'kill
next gangster', and so forth..

The best advice I received about AITD2 was not to kill the guys with the
tommy gun -- just push that pedestal at the end of the garden path towards
the house and run directly into the hedge maze.. so long as you stay at a
run, you'll be able to make it before they shoot you, and they won't
follow you into the maze.

About the original AITD, the trick is to keep swinging until the
bird-thing dies. Or not let it get into the room in the first place, by
pushing something big in front of the window. The same trick works for
the zombie that appears later.

I agree! I finished the first game awhile ago, that one was cool! ALONE
IN THE DARK 2 SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Interplay should be stripped of all game making privelages!
