  1. Still Life 2, despite its many faults, draws you in, puts you through the ringer and then spits you out like a wad of used gum at the end. I can't say it's a great game -- too flawed and at times annoying for that -- but it does deliver the goods.
  2. It takes two or three hours until the game really takes off, but then the thrilling story with lots of objectives unfolds with nightmarish drama. The inventory system is one of the dumbest every created, but if you like thrilling adventures you should give it a go.
  3. The first Still Life was a breath of fresh air in the old adventure genre, but the second game is a mess. The story has no tension, puzzles are confusing, the menus are disorienting and the game suffers from bad animation and terrible voice acting.

    Really goes to show how biased pratically 90% of the so called pro reviewers are. Of course we know green has to be flashed infront of IGN and Gamespot and your review will shine but with this game I think I see more of the same crap. If you at all rate this with an unbaised look and judge it against other adventure games in the genre, Still Life 2 does nothing but outshine part 1 (or part 2 if you consider Post Portem). Seriously what the h**l is going on with the score of this game? A true adventure gaming site obviously see what I'm talking about. This game rocks my hang down. Expand

    Game is fine. But Saving, Game Loading, etc is excruitiatingly SLOW and cumbersome. Given how many times you need to save, because you WILL die...it drove me crazy how long it took to save and return to the game. Expand

    A genuine piece of art marred by poor delivery and execution. Still Life 2 remains unpolished over its predecessor continuing its lack of high resolution support. The story is involved and engaging, yet takes twists to the extreme and often ends up being more comedic than dramatic. There is significantly more user interaction than the original Still Life sometimes to the point of being overwhelming. The inventory system definitely takes a step backwards and the timed events remove the typical casual point-and-click play style. Overall, I found it to be painfully meticulous resulting in puzzle fatigue and ultimately causing me to resort to a walkthrough rather than actually wanting to legitimately solve the puzzles. Even after finishing it, I don't feel a sense of accomplishment, but I am glad it's over. Expand
