Back From the Dead...again

Sir Daniel Fortesque is back, after 500 years of peaceful slumber. The game plays much like the first one, with some cool new moves such as the dan-hand where you take your skull off and place it in you hand and use it to see around corners, down holes and over ledges. The puzzles seem harder this time around, but not too hard where you get frustrated, and the overall feel of the game is very in tune to the more contemporary setting. If you played the first one and enjoyed it, or are a die hard Sir Dan Fan, this game does not disappoint. Long Live Sir Dan!

Awesome Game

Medievil was a really cool game. Even my mom liked it! This game is so cool. If you have the money for this game, you should get it.

An excellent sequel

My wife and I really enjoyed the first game and Medievil II is a great sequel. Unlike Croc II, which changed even the basic movements of the character, MII gives you enough familiar touchstones to feel like you can jump into the game feet first. The ambitious settings continue to integrate well with the atmospheric music on each level (how many people found the eerie desolation of the Naval Observatory as creepy as I did?). The best feature of these games is how fully absorbing each level is because they are all (well, most)so fully rendered; to the extent a videogame can do it, you feel like you are really "there". There are too many nice touches to list: one in particular is how the rain and wind sound increase as you progress up Cathedral Spires and how if you look up when on the roof, you see the direction of the falling rain actually shifts as if windblown. Hats off to the creative team. Criticisms are limited: although I too was frustrated at first by the inability to return and get fountains, you get used to it; as with the first game, you sort of stumble into the last level, without realizing you are near the end of the game; Palethorn, while droll, was a bit of a let down at the end; the game could use a beginner and expert level to vary things when you want to re-play it; the ending of MI was actually very touching and gave a great sense of satisfaction whereas I didn't get that from either ending for MII; the choice of Victorian London was bravely done, but I miss old Gallowmere; the bosses and monsters were nice but it might be good to try some new powers for them as some were more variations on each other than new creatures. Other nice touches while there's space: the Danhead, which finally made you feel like all those severed hands were around for a reason; the Spiv (my boy!); the way the background tunes stick in your mind like peanut butter so that you hum them the rest of the day; the humor that was still there on many levels. Guys: keep makin' em and we'll keep buyin'. For fun, playability and creativeness, M and MII are the best Playstation games I've seen yet.

Great game!

I just got this game, and have already beaten the first MediEvil and loved it. This one is tougher and a bit harder to beat, and way more challenging but still a lot of fun. Sir Dan has some great new moves including the Dan Hand, and some cool additional weapons in his arsenal.

I will only say this; it is bizarre for a mom to stay in her son's room for 4 hours watching a video game. This game is great. I will watch my son play this game for the graphics, the baroque implications, and because it is the funniest thing to see a hand with a head on it get thrown out the window by a terribly evil little girl, all in fun, laugh sounds included.
For anyone who loves bathroom humor, one scene uses an old man who farts every 10 seconds, and no one gets hurt.
It is tongue in cheek with the challenge to make a player think as to how do I get out of this?
Great game.
I love when my child uses his brain on a rainy day and everyone watching is entertained. Great plus, when the head has to run around the game, he lifts his pinky and thumb every other step so high that I ask myself,"who did this with his own hand to make it so real and so funny?"
This game is wonderfully entertaining for any age, because one must really think to get out of certain predicaments, and because the graphics are like the best of any comic book. Someone must have really been in a good mood when they made this one.

Great game overall

For once, I feel that I am the only correct person to review this game. I can't understand how anyone could think that this game isn't as good as the first. It's got better graphics, sound, storyline, characters, weapons, levels, puzzles, and humour than the first. You people just bring up flaws that either don't exist, or ones nobody will even care about or won't notice. The only flaw I ever noticed in the game was the controls because they did cause a noticable hindrace to my enjoyment of the game, Everything else was fine! Other stuff like fall damage was added for a small dose of reality. If you fell 20 off a balcony, you would get severly injured too! In my opinion; sequels should be considered worse if they do a bad job at what the first one did good at. Medievil 2 takes all the strengths of the first game and improves upon them significantly. It even has plenty of improvements like the Dan-hand ability and the Dan-kenstein mode. Also, unlike the first game, the atmosphere varies. The atmosphere of the first game was the same throughout, making the levels seem the same. Medievil 2 has a differen't atmosphere for each level. Sometimes a nice action atmosphere, other times a dark, gothic atmosphere. The atmosphere is helped by the incredibly great music! Seriously! I could not tell whether it was composed or synthesized. Overall, if you were expecting more from Medievil, then get Medievil 2. And for God's sakes! Think carefully and have some integrity when you judge it at the end!

ROCKS!

In Medievil you get a lot of weapons. In Medievil 2 you get a ton of weapons. My favorite gun is the Gatiling Gun (high-power machine gun), my favorite sword is the Magic Sword. You can also get bombs. It's also a lot tougher to beat Medievil 2 than Medievil. They are both great games.
