Reviews for Arrival In Hell 2

[Dereliction]

Hmm...

Let me start by saying that this is better than the first one. However it still has several flaws.

First of all, looking at the items and the means to get them, I find it difficult to believe that a little more than a handful of people finished this without the walkthrough. I believe a good point and click should contain items that can be easily made using one's general knowledge. If not, there should at least be a clue in-game on how certain complex items are made. Seriously, most people would not know how to make a thermite bomb.

Second, the voice acting. The voice acting is unconvincing and does not have enough emotion. I could not feel that the guy I'm playing as really understands the situation he is in. The way he deals with the events is just as though he did those things everyday. And in the few cut scenes where he is actually in danger... His scream is just disappointing. And the saddest part is, he seems to have the best voice among all the characters in the game.

The graphics are just fine though. It suits the atmosphere. The secrets are also pretty good as several of them reveal an interesting backstory, which is fully explained in the timeline of events.

Overall, not the best, but one of the better point and clicks that appear here these days.

wow, this is much better!

heh, one of the first strange things i noticed was in the watch tower, the head officer's portrait BLINKS if you watch it... thats kinda creepy. XD

very nice job with the endings, the romantic one was probably the best, i think... it just seems much more fitting, although the friendship one was kinda nice, too... but it has me wondering about what happened to magda in that one, you should've included her in that, as well...

i hope you make another one, but maybe it could be something different... what if we saw these events threw the eyes of magda or her lover?

it might be harder doing things from that perspective, but it'd be interesting, seeing how they went about getting everything ready, and what exactly happened to kalengo.

if kalengo's fate was revealed, i probably didnt see it, kinda tired after getting all the endings and secret items.

anyway, nice job with this one. :D

Great game

Much better than the first. I hope we get an AIH3.

Keep up the good work!

Still pretty good

I'd agree that going with a clear theme would be good in the future. You're kind of torn between horror/suspense and a cute but violent puzzler here, and they really don't mix and actually kind of detract from each other.

If you make a third, stick with the style you did the first in, it really did look better. Looks like there's more to explore and click at here, though, which is good.

Otherwise, still good as far as NG point-and-click goes. I always appreciate puzzles that make sense regardless of difficulty.
