  • Summary: [Downloadable Game] It's June 1977, and any day now the passage of the Keene Act will outlaw all masked vigilantes not sanctioned by the government. Rorschach has uncovered a mysterious missing person's case. Together with the help of Nite Owl, the pair has set out to find the young girl in Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2. Their search takes them deep into the depraved, sleazy corners of the city, and eventually face-to-face with the mysterious Twilight Lady. The seedy underbelly of New York beckons … will you take the call? The journey continues: Rorschach and Nite Owl once again prowl the back alleys of the city in their quest for justice. Play as either character throughout the game. Voice acting: Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earl Haley reprise their roles as Nite Owl and Rorschach from the film, supplying voiceovers for the characters. Game modes: Play in single player or split-screen co-op multiplayer mode and bring justice to the city. [Warner Bros.] Expand

  1. The fights are fun, but the same opponents and surroundings become boring very fast. There's no story to speak of, which is a shame regarding a license like Watchmen. The arguments between both heroes and the multi-player mode are fun, though.
  2. 42
    As a stand-alone download, it's a short rendition of the Watchmen brawler experience that features more low points than high points -- but with an admittedly awesome moment of Rorschach punching a fat pervert.
  3. It’s hard to see why they ask money for this one. If you want to swing a baseball bat as Rorschach, save yourself $15 and just buy Part I.
  4. Second-rate action game is boring for comic devotees and too easy for fighting game fans. Voice cast from the original movie actors can not change anything of this. [Oct 2009]

  1. This game is more like a long demo. The hand to hand fighting is fun and a good change from shooters. If the developer had made it 50% longer, and varied the characters and levels it would be a pretty good game. It's just too short and repetitive. It's a $4.99 game. Expand

    This is an decent game at first... then it gets extremely dull after 20 minutes. I purchased this in the Watchman Blu-ray bundle (movie, 1st and 2nd game). It can be fun playing as Rorshach, except after 5 minutes, the game throws nothing new at you... its the same 3 bad guys with generic environments, over and over until you beat the game. The only sort of 'puzzles' in both games and simply open garage door, roll under, pull lever. Probably best to advoid, you wont be missing anything. Expand
  3. A nice change from shooters. All the action is physical fighting. I enjoyed that part. It's more like a long DEMO than an actual GAME. I beat it in 45 minutes of game play. Very repetitive
    Weak Story
    Scenes repeat themselves over and over. Only 3 or 4 of the same characters that are seen through the entire game. I only paid about $2 dollars for it, so I wasn't too upset. I could have been a GREAT GAME, but they need more chapters that are different, stronger story line, more characters. Verity is the SPICE OF LIFE!

    Sincerely,
