Reviews for Arrival In Hell 2

[MST3KMAN]

IMPROVEMENT

Well comparing to the last one this is a huge improvement. Better animations, better scenery, better voice acting....but it's not a 10...or 9....

There were some issues with this...mainly logical issues and story issues and continuity issues. I really don't want to get into the logica issues cuz it seems that games like these don't have a whole lot of logic with their items. This was better than most I've seen or played but still some strange things made. The story.... while still ambiguous about the monsters, suffers with the confusion that is Mag. I can go along with the fact about the monsters being mysterious...and the magic man cell didn't really tell anything except that he some how has a connection with them. I could say he summoned them but that wouldn't be consistent with the first one...where everyone knew about them save your guy. Now Mag....WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING THERE?! Is she a doctor? cuz this didn't really show to be a mental institution even though there's a crazy in the same cells as the not so crazy. Who the hell is the guy she loves, there's not explaining except for a picture with man of my life and stuff.

The story really just got more confusing with extra things thrown in with not as much info. If you're going to make a third one, focus on explanations and story. The animation is not perfect but it's acceptable now so I don't think you should worry about that. This one was more of something to do when I'm bored thing mainly because of the story.

Over all I'd give this a 5/10, for the improvement.

You are wrong, if you keep attention to the story you will notice that, Kalengo and Magda are having an affair, they were planning to escape together but everything went wrong and then she had to escape alone by cheating the pilot. Then you appear and she uses you to get her "Insulin" back... If you want to understand the story better, you should Unlock the Timeline of events by collecting the 4 secret items (which also help you understand more the story) or by getting the 3 different endings in a row. Anyways i think you are being a lil bit Radical for voting 5 out of 10, just cause you couldnt understand some points of the story.

WTF?....

I played the first one again just yesterday and played it when the original came out and that one was great and all but this didn't reach its greatness. I found it odd that the fence at the end of the first became a wall and your in the prison yard, i was expecting something bigger i guess. Anyway the story didn't develop really besides a little hint of where these beasts came from and i found the ideas were copied from stuff in movies and TV (breaking bad thermite thing, its the exact concept from it) and other ideas were just way out there or too thought out and some of the animation was laughable. All in all the game left me saying "WTF?" and not wanting to go on to see the other endings. I don't really care to see any more of hell if its gonna be the same.

This game is one massive disappointment from the first one. It did make SOME improvements to the graphics and the voice acting, but what it all boils down to a mediocre-at-best horror point and click game that is not really scary. Nothing jumps out at you or give you any sense of helplessness. Sorry for being blunt, but the voice acting was still god awful and it felt like no characters are ever giving out ANY emotions. There are still some spelling errors that need to be looked at and the fire effects were painful to see. (seriously, can't you animate that?)

All in all, I HIGHLY suggest you put more effort into this series and take great care for it. The story DOES have potential, but it is GREATLY marred by everything else I just mentioned.

Egads...

Usually making sequels means a follwing of the same style than the first, probably with some more smooth details and a tad better quality, this... well this is downright the opposite. The graphic quality was WAY better in the first, though it was a bit edgy at times. In this sequel, graphics are poor, sounds are repeated one or more times to make the sound more fitting and the voice acting, don't even get me started on that.
Sorry, but this is not good enough.
