  • Summary: A sequel to Renegade Kid's Dementium: The Ward, the next chapter in this horrific story promises to take players even closer to the precipice of madness than its predecessor. Continuing the storyline from the original, Dementium II promises to deliver better visuals, more haunting audio, and sharper scares than its predecessor. [SouthPeak Games] Expand

  1. While the first game offered a frustrating gaming experience that frankly defeated many gamers, DII has solved all of the previous reasons for criticism, providing a true horror gaming experience unmarred by mechanical flubs.
  2. The game is still a first-rate effort, despite its middling problems. Anyone who enjoyed Southpeak's previous effort, Moon, will also dig this game. Just follow those PROTIPS that I've scattered throughout the review, and your first playthrough will be as enjoyable as my second one.
  3. It's pretty good for a quick handheld FPS fix, but to ask anything else of it would be insane.
  4. Dementium II desperately wants to be one of the big boys of horror, but it's hard to be scared of a modern game that barely looks and plays up to the standards of the original Quake.

  1. Awesome. Renegade Kid has done one of the most interesting game of the Nintendo DS library. Scary, emotional, and a lot of stuff. A great story, great locations, great atmosphere. Seriously, this is better than Silent Hill 3, but not than the first and the second. This is phychological horror, and this is scary... not Resident Evil 5 ... Expand

    The game is dumb scary fun for starters it has some of the best graphics on DS and is amazingly beautiful for a game from the new developers Renegade KID and the game also will scare most people.

    The main fun element are the boss fights and the main scary element is the plot which has to be one of the best plots on DS so far.

    The interactivity is great and the voice acting is brilliant and compared to the fisrt one this is a god of ture horror gaming. The only main flaw is the game has not enough reward and difficulty levels are not quite balenced enough however replayability is also great and makes this game the most fun,scary,pretty,and intensly large games on DS and will be so forever.

  3. For a Nintendo DS game Dementium 2 is really amazing. The graphics are way over the average and the controls are running smooth with 60 frame per second. The short - stunning - experience is only clouded by the short amount of the time until the credits roll up the screen as well as the open ending. Expand
