    Great game, not so good as part 1

    A very freaky game, with beautiful graphics, I can not understand that the actor who played curtis, haven't played in more movies or tv-series. I think this is one of the best computer game stories i have ever seen in my live. The only thing I disliked was that there are so much locations. I had hoped that there was one great house so as in part one. Sorry my english isn't very good.

    Better than the first, still not great

    Full Motion Video games were a new wrinkle when the first Phantasmagoria came out, and were rapidly going the way of the passenger pigeon by the time this one was released. Sort of ironic.

    This one featured smoother game play. I was glad they used more actual sets than filming entirely on bluescreen with minimal real objects (as they did in the first). Still, a lot of the locations (particularly the office and the science facility) seemed rather contrived.

    The acting was far and away better than the first, though it was still not great by any means. The plot was not particularly good. Main character was fairly well developed, but the whole 'alien' aspect and all that wasn't adequately explained.

    5.5 on a scale of 10.

    Great story, some unfair puzzles.

    This game is still one of my favorites, even today. The great story, the nice graphics (comparing to other games from that period of time) and the perfect acting makes the winning combination that is Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh. See, even the title is cool!? The downside - if any at all - is the puzzles that are sometimes impossible to solve without a walkthrough. But I guess it's not unusual that a game like this has some hard puzzles. Having said that, I'll have to repeat my praise and add that you'll get some great scares. I almost had a heart attack... :) If you played the first Phantasmagoria - that in my opinion was much weaker - don't let it scare you away from this title, it's great!

    Excellent!

    I enjoyed the first part of the series, and this one was no different. The acting was superb, the direction was great, and the plot was extremely interesting. If this were a movie, it would certainly beat some of the other 'horror' movies out on the market. Apart from the horror aspect, there is also an interesting psychological thriller feel to it. Kudos to the cast and crew for making such a great game!

    One of the best horror games!

    This game might have been way different than the first, but in a good way.

    First of the game is much longer! (that is a plus in the book for me as games that only last me a few hours seems a waste of money)

    Second it keeps the "chase" feeling later in the game, where curtis has to kill mutations of his friends, boss and enemy.

    Third it has you entangled in the story and you feel actually sorry for Curtis in some parts.

    Fourth it was more violent than the first.

    And there is alot more that makes this game better than the first...

      Curtis Craig: Hey, bud. How was your second date with the mysterious "Jay," huh?

      Trevor Barnes: A dud. Big time! I mean, once I got past the sexy eyes, the gorgeous cheekbones, I saw the squid beneath the skin!

      Curtis Craig: Oh, what a drag!

      Trevor Barnes: You're telling me! He spent half the evening picking apart Bela Lugosi's acting, and the other half staring at his own bad self in the bathroom mirror!

      Curtis Craig: He doesn't like Bela?

      Trevor Barnes: Mmm, mmm.

      Curtis Craig: Well piss on him, then!
