The sequel to the cult hit "Obscure" for the PS2, PC, and XBox, "Obscure: The Aftermath" does alot right, but also has a few flaws. All of the flaws are pretty small though.

The Story-Overall it is pretty good, although it loses it's suspense about halfway through. You eventually get to the point where you know when someone is going to die soon. It all adds to the dark mood of the game though, the further you get the more hopeless it seems for the characters. Will any of them survive?

The Gameplay-Probably Obscure: The Aftermath's best achievement. The gameplay is just great, and all the motion controls implemented are pulled off perfectly. Whether it's swinging a bat, firing a gun, lockpicking, or rowing a boat, it all works great. The game also features a wide range of weapons for you to use throughout your adventure.

Soundtrack-All of the music in the game is top-notch, and always fits perfectly with the mood.

Graphics-Could be better, but everything is still really detailed and nice looking. The game also gives off a very creepy atmosphere everywhere you go, you never know what will be in the next room or around the next corner.

Parnters-The partner A.I. of the game isn't the best, but it is good enough and it will help you whenever you are fighting, and being able to switch between characters helps tremendously in certain situations. The game is mainly meant to be played co-op with a friend though, so if you have no friends I'm sorry to say you are out of luck.

Puzzles-Most of them are very clever, though a couple are kinda frustrating.


All in all Obscure: The Aftermath is a good game, and at just $30 why not pick it up? If your a fan of horror games, and you have a friend or sibling to play with, you won't be disappointed.
