Like the original film to the sequel, the second episode in the planned trilogy has arrived and the first thing it has in common with the original is the snailpace loading. Thankfully there were no crying children this episode, but it still requires 850Mb Hard Drive Space.Part II is developed by HumanHead games, makers of Rune, and they have stolen a march on the original by having part of the original movie describing the legend of Coffin Rock as their opening cutscene. This is an immediate improvement on the original. The Nocturne engine returns with its default-subtitled Widescreen cutscenes. They are better executed in Rune, but then that game didn't have any kind of template to adhere to. You play Lazurus, a man who starts off with a head wound and shaky memory. Following the little girl as instructed leads to the revelation of your mission, and then you get off into the woods proper to set about your search.The default controls are more intuitive and the flick screen action avoids hitting you with crazy camera angles at the start, and overall feels more controllable than Rustin Parr--when the view changes the assumption of reversed keys is correct on most occasions. The atmosphere setting continues in the forest with high-quality sound effects permeating the background as you run, search and occasionally shoot your way through to completing your task.Resident Evil fans who enjoyed Rustin Parr should have no problems getting into this one. It is almost as if the original was studied closely and checked for interface, engine and control improvements for this game. --Kenneth Henry

Some enjoyed making up their own monster in the original film that spawned this game The Blair Witch Project Vol 1: Rustin Parr, others felt cheated. Just in time for the first sequel this Halloween, the game is intended to be part of a trilogy. The loading screen starts to set up the atmosphere with weird random freakish noises like children crying, but since the game requires 850Mb HDD space and isn't the fastest loader around, this soon becomes irritating.You control Doc Holiday--a female doctor rather than the male gunslinger--in her quest to unravel the mystery of the Blair Witch. The story setup and the training mission are combined into one. It is certainly the best time to get accustomed to the extreme third-person angles of the game, though Resident Evil fans won't have much trouble adjusting. You still have to readjust your control method because different camera angles cause different character directions onscreen although the controls remain the same, which is no real problem forTomb Raider fans, but it's the second time one of the features of Blair Witch Vol.1 has been better executed elsewhere and your technique needs to be totally relearned. One nice feature however, is the first-person night vision, which is deliberately blurred to recreate the film's night video view feel.Since at least two more episodes are due for release by Gathering of Developers, don't kid yourself that it's all over when you get to the end. The game is average and open-minded gamers will give it a try, and persevere if they are fans of the other action/adventure series mentioned. If not, this game is a like-or-hate affair, just like the film, and shouldn't be bought without trying a demo first. --Kenneth Henry
