Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Part 2

As a Watchmen fan, it was impossible for me to not enjoy this game. For anyone else, however, there just isn’t enough substance to warrant the ridiculously overpriced cost.

Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2 (and Part 1) could only be enjoyed by fans of either the book or movie. I don’t see how someone who isn’t remotely knowledgeable of Watchmen could enjoy these games, especially Part 2.

Just like the first entry, this one doesn't try to escape from the simple button mashing, combo street brawler.

Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2 isn't as exciting as the first episode, and that one wasn't exactly a smash hit to begin with. The story feels less fleshed out and the combat is as uninspired as ever.

The game's combos are limited, but they occasionally look great. [Nov 2009, p.104]

We hoped that with this second episode Warner could bring more variety to the game, but we found a bad product on many fronts, except the very good visuals. A questionable plot, short longevity and a very repetitive gameplay make this game suitable only to the Watchmen über-fans, just to have some more Rorschach and Nite Owl action after the movie.

No difference between part 2 and part 1: boring, dull and short.

Over in just two to three hours. [Nov 2009, p.78]

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.

The final slice of downloadable content is just as shallow in its gameplay and ambition as before.

Episode one was weak; episode two clearly didn't notice. Who botches the Watchmen? [Nov 2009, p.105]

Despite the game being only three chapters long with off-line co-op, the whole package is quite simply awful, boring and dull.
