If it wasn't for the story that saves the intrest to play the game, I may have never finished this sequel.
User Rating: 6 | Alone in the Dark 2 (3.5" Disk) PC
Although Alone in the Dark 2 does not evolve as you play the game like the first game, the thoroughly well explained cast of characters provide enough plot to keep the game interesting. The graphics are a disaster at times, but that's not what makes this game. It's the story. The tale begins with a dude named Striker, who heads to the seaside mansion of Hell's Kitchen to investigate rumors of a little girl kidnapped by a gang who's leader is Jack. No, I didn't say Jack Sparrow, One-eyed Jack. Sounds like a pirate name, innit? When he enters the mansion, Striker finds the girl, but as you yourself would have guessed. he didn't count on Jack showing up in the form of a clown wielding a knife. But luckily Striker sent a wire to our old hero Edward Carnaby, who has gained quite a name from defeating the Cthulian sorcerer from the first game. He arrives at the mansion with a six pack (of dynamite) just as soon as you click Start a New Game.
When Carnaby arrives, he finds out about a deadly voodoo curse upon some ancient pirates, and the real reason why the poor little girl was kidnapped. Help Carnaby and our lady in distress, Grace Saunders, escape the vile depths of One-eyed Jack's Hell's Kitchen.
Being the game from 1994 I remember how I was a little put down but the fact that I liked the older installment better from 1992. Again, if you are a die hard fan of the horror genre and like a historic tour of this genre, then play this series.
