Закупуване на Mirror Mysteries 2

The second Mirror Mysteries are slighty different than the first one. The graphics are a bit better and the locations more interesting (for example the first world which I liked the most is nicely inspired by art deco and maybe even by the Bioshock). The story again revolves around the same bad character as the previous game but this time it's much better (but still nothing deep). The voice acting sounds more professional and the cheesiness from the first game is gone (that's a shame I liked it :D). There are also more and much better puzzles (but they're skippable if you don't want to solve them). Also the gameplay is slightly different this time. Besides the standard hidden object finding there are also some point'n'click adventure elements blended in. So all in all if you like hidden objects finding you are on a good address.

Pros:
-More interesting puzzles
-Better story
-Less cheaply hidden objects
-Longer than the first game

Cons:
-Sometimes it's hard to find where to put a completed object
-Still a little bit short
-Puzzles are too easy to solve

Very nice and EASY point and click adventure. Cool story and some decent little puzzles. Lots of nice visuals and very trippy. Took me around 3 hours to complete.

Like the first game in the series, this is more of a hidden object adventure than a point and click game. However, the puzzles are slightly harder. The game is a little buggy; I often had to click multiple times on inventory objects to pick them up, and it was sometimes difficult placing them in just the right spot. It only took two hours to play, the hidden object scenes were very short, and isn't very replayable, so I would recommend picking this one up when its on sale.

The story line doesn't follow the first game very well; suddenly the mirror is evil rather than just annoyed at vandal children.

...as expected, not much revealed about the identity or the origin of the said Mirror in this sequel. Sadly, there aren't as many worlds in this game compared to the first one either. The game play is flashier, yet pretty much straight forward. Kinda liked the first game better, actually. Adding some animations doesn't establish a keen atmosphere really. All in all, it is not a must, but it has been fun in the sense of basic genre.

The only difficulty in the puzzles is all the incessant clicking that is required. Short and not very interesting. Some pretty backgrounds, but cheesy voice-acting.

very easy

Too short. Less than 2 hours for a HoG. Very simple. On the whole a very average game.

Much more entertainting then part 1, awesome looking, better 'story', aaand... finally, the puzzles aren't dumb and random. Just... damn too short. 7/10

Edited Review:

Initial Review Negative:
Bugs, Crashes, Game stopping

A relatively easy point and click hidden object game that suffers from low resolution and game ending bugs. The first encountered was in the first hidden object scene. It could not be played around and the game stopped due to the bug. Even on sale, it's not worth buying this until the bugs are fixed.

Revised Review:
The scenes are lovely and detailed. It is a pleasure to have a hidden object game that is not solely about horror. Although the game does not support wide screen resolution or larger resolutions well, it can be played in the windows 7 operating system with modified settings. (It still crashes at unexpected times. I missed a mirror shard quite deep into the game. As I followed the hints back to it, the game crashed predictably before I could get back to the shard. This made the game unplayable.) Please see other forum posts for details of Windows 7 bug fixes.

Having Started a new profile in order to play through from the beginning, and perhaps not miss the mirror shard that caused the last game-ending crash, I find the angel-wing bug back. The game crashes again, despite the fixes.

It looks like it would be fun to play if not for the bugs.

Mirror Mysteries 2 offers roughly the same short fragmented object hunt its predecessor did, but somewhere along the way lost the charm that made the first instalment a fun game to play.

Mirror Mysteries 2: The Forgotten Kingdom is like a direct-to-video sequel of a moderately successful movie: feels similar, yet doesn’t work that well.
The plot introduces the adult daughter of the first game’s protagonist who has to rescue his brother from the clutches of the same mirror that trapped them years ago. Only this time the mirror is a very cheesy cartoon villain, and not even the charm of the more detailed worlds can save us from his ridiculous monologues.

Game mechanics were left mostly untouched: you still construct items from small parts and use them within the scenes to progress. The magnifying glass is gone, so the scenes require more patience or the use of the hint button. There are a few conventional puzzles, but they hardly worth any notice. Essentially, like most lower-rated sequels, it’s recommended for those who liked the first game and don’t mind the lower overall quality.

Enjoyed this one more than the first game but that's because it had adventure style gameplay this time. Took me a couple of hours to complete it but it was engaging enough that I don't mind finishing it in one sitting. The storyline is only loosely connected to the first but you wouldn't miss much if you skipped the first. I like the hidden object scene style in this series where it shows you a picture of a broken up object and you find the pieces, this game also didn't have any parts where I was stuck looking for something tiny. Definitely worth a look if you are a HOA fan, but get it on sale coz of the short story and limited replay value.

This will keep you occupied for a few hours, but is below average standard for a Hidden Object game. Quickly played through, quickly forgotten.

This isn't a bad hidden object/puzzle game - perhaps the puzzles are overly simple, but the HO bits are some of the best I've seen - but it's extremely short, has virtually no story, and is really too easily completed even on Advanced difficulty.
That said, if you can get for an extremely low price, consider this a Thumbs Up instead.

Loved it! One of the best puzzle game sequal, I've played and it is as good as the first one.
Good story, fun puzzles, some more chalenging then others. Very fun, I recommand both.

Pros :
- Good soundtrack and graphics
- very easy to play, and possibility to skip the puzzle
- there is a story and you interact with people to help them for a stuff.

Cons :
- some bugs, I needed to quit the game as I was stuck (missing items)
- when you have to look for items (see pictures 7 & 8)... personally I click everywhere, as the hidden items are VERY WELL hidden
- sometimes there are non-intuitive actions to do.

Game was slow to react when putting things in place and now it won't run at all. definite waste of money.
