If you liked the first game and you are okay with reading Visual Novels or books, this game is just as good as the first one, with a godlike ending as well in my opinion. Unfortunately, in my personal opinion, the sequel to the game does not do the first two games justice. I still would wholeheartedly recommend the game to anyone looking to add more to their CP knowledge and just can't get enough of the CP series!

Unlike the original Corpse Party, BoS plays more like a visual novel, with some occasional point-and-click first-person exploration. Of course, this means there is much more reading than in the first game, and frankly, some parts do tend to drag on for a while, but overall, the writing is still superb and the scary, gross moments are still present. Overall, I recommend it only if you were a big fan of the first game, as it is not a direct sequel, and more of alternate scenarios playing out before, during and after the events of the first game. So, unless you are very familiar with the original game, you will be very confused. The only reason I am giving it a 9 and not a 10, is because the visual novel aspect was a bit less interesting than the exploration aspect in the first game. Still, great game.

Was there any mistake when it came to marketing? This is not Corpse Party 2. This entry is for the Hardcore Corpse Party fans playing through the first game over and over again. It's a Visual Novel with point and click parts, many hard decisions to make and various endings. So, if you're not familiar with the story of Corpse Party, even some parts are a retelling of the original story, you will be hopefully lost in Book of Shadows like it's protagonists.
The writing is well written (what's wrong IGN?) and the voice acting is awesome. Of course, Book of Shadows features, like the first game, only japanese voice acting.
There isn't much to say. If you're fascinated by Corpse Party, dive deeper into the world of hell. A great soundtrack combined with really strange images will make you shiver more than one time. Experience the 7 short stories taking place in an alternate Universe or conclude arcs from the first game.
So, grab you PSP or Vita (you can even import your save game from the first game and receive a few goodies) and enjoy one of 2013 probably most underrated games. But remember: This is a Visual Novel. So don't blame the game if you was not informed good enough. Oh, and again, you have to play the first part to understand Book of Shadows.

I loved corpse party: Blood covered , but book of shadows is.......weak.
Seal ,and Demise are decent chapters.
Encounter and Purgatory are a totally waste of time.
Shangri-La, Mire and Tooth , are just ok.
Blood Drive is the only chapter i could recommend if you really wanna see what happens after the first game.
The game is scary but blood covered was better in every aspect.

The game was way too boring and i know what your gonna say but i don't mean the cut scene's those are cool the game play was too poor i really liked the other game's but this was just unforgivable it ruined the game play i love but i think the story is great at least so if your looking for a true corpse party Experience than don't watch this movie unless you're a die hard fan that want's to know what happens next but really just go read the manga
