I'm in the minority with this one & on the same "sourpuss ship" as traveler. SF2 started out ok I guess but once I switched to Max on the island it was downhill from there. I don't know if it's just me but I found the inventory combinations completly ridiculous & from that point on the wind was out of my sails:-(

Maybe the last 5 games I played....Dark Fall/Lost Souls...RHEM4...BM2 & BM3 & LHOD4 were all SO GOOD, that i was expecting SF2 to measure up at the same level but for me it just didn't. Now my fingers are crossed that ASYLUM or The Last Crown get released in the fall in time for Halloween!!

I am getting a bit dismayed with this game - I am not a fan of dialog strings. Line after line of unnecessary chatter.

I am not that far into it yet - partly because it's still summer and I tend to be outdoors a lot and partly because the game has not held my interest to the point where I just can't stop playing yet.

But, like I mentioned before, for a game that was $50.00 and you can now download for $9.99, I have to stick it out - maybe it will pick up, maybe not, but the price was sure right! ( Hi SQF and Starcom )

Ah, I actually love long dialogues. Oh, well, hope it picks up for you, sureshot.

SCOTTY, I don't think you can expect SF2 to be among the best of the best, though for some people, it may be. For me, I just enjoy the Secret Files games for what they are and don't expect more out of them. You may try Lost Horizon, if you haven't already. I think it is a much stronger game.

Yes Venus I guess you're right. I threw in the towel rather quick but I didn't uninstall it & I'm sure I'll attempt it again in the future. I dug out my Dark Fall/The Journal game & figured I'd replay it since I recently finished Dark Fall/Lost Souls. WOW...I'm glad I did. It's been all but 10 years since I've played it & I completly forgot most of my first experience in the Dowerton Station & the goings on there. I've already jumped out of my seat a few times & I don't remember any of the puzzel solutions either. It's like playing it for the first time!! ALSO...Another cool thing is seeing the station again in it's pre Lost Souls state.

So I guess SF@ will have to wait till I'm in a more light hearted frame of mind but for now the voices in the station are calling me.

Thank you Venus!

I probably will finish this game. I don't even turn off a very bad movie once I start watching it - gotta see it through.

I just finished this one, and although it was somewhat entertaining, it was also somewhat disappointing, from the unrealistic inventory combinations to the long, long dialogs. They took a good story and made it tedious. I had to use a walkthrough all the way.

I'm not sorry I played it, it helped pass time, but that's about all I can say for it.

I replayed this one quite recently, and enjoyed it *much* more the second time around. I prefer the first game overall, very definitely. I didn't like the voice actor for Max in the second game. Too dopey.

I just started playing it last night, finished island, got back to ship. I enjoyed it so much I stayed up to 2:30 AM, shouldn't have. I was surprised at how many characters you play (4 so far), though not surprised at what happened to the first one, during the prologue.

I got it from Steam a long time ago. Finally got around to finishing Ankh 2, didn't like it as much as first. I'm going to play all the games I've downloaded (which seams to be most) then once they're done I'll start on boxed ones. Which means they'll probably be a Carol Reed number 10 by the time I get to number 7. I'll probably be last to know how the Black Mirror saga ends as well.

I am trying my best to finish this game. I have already stopped playing it twice to play other games. It seems a bit tedious and monotonous to me. I think its some of the dialogue and the use of items that is turning me off. Games are supposed to be fun, maybe it is just me though.....

I am sorry you aren't enjoying it CountZero. I liked the game but we all have different tastes. I hope your next choice will be more fun for you.

Maybe I was just getting bored with adventure games. I downloaded a new rpg and Im off to raid some orc camps. I hope I remember all my magic spells

I enjoy the different genres also. It's good to have a change of pace.

I just finished the game today. I liked it a lot, but the voices were a bit corny......especially Nick....he sounded like Keanu Reeve's character in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! Excellent!! haha
