Good puzzles, but FAR too gory

This series has a lot to offer, but the clever puzzles, interesting interface, and almost good enough writing aren't quite enough to make up for the really overdone and hideous (and not particularly logical) violence. P1 also bears the burden of aiming all the violence towards women, most of whom are mindlessly chirpy and submissive. P2 is more blatant and just celebrates gore as an end in itself. Unless you're a fan of the "blood & guts/woman in peril/shock me baby" genre, you're not likely to be enchanted by the series.

One of the best games ever!

This game has a wonderful story line. A little cheese now and then but other than that very good. Very suspenseful through out the whole game.

Short and Simple

This was my first experience in games of this genre, and I'm rather disappointed (I'm more of a fan of the likes of Ultima, Homeworld). In both P1 and P2 the story lines are exciting, but the overall puzzles presented are rather simple. The control panel in P2 was the most difficult, and it was more annoying rather than challenging. The interface also makes for a rather liniar, simplistic game. My greatest complaint, however, is the time it takes to complete the games. Each game took less than 10 hours to complete, and they have absolutely no replay value. Perhaps a newer game in this genre would be more satisfying (Blood of the Sacred..., et. al.)

I returned the game to Sierra, and got my money back.

i recommend phantasmagoria I, the first release of sierra's horrifying game. Sounds, Site of the place, the story of the game is like you can feel that you are there with the game. The second one is not! No good.

Honestly, I was disappointed by the game.
The 7 CD pack goes away in less than 3 hours and so vanish the money and all hopes for a week's creep show.
The game lacks the least amount of imagination which would fill in the first 4 CDs of an average perfomance. But the laziness of Roberta Williams was evidently packed up by plenty of running around the castle and 4 houses of the nearest village.
Despite the miss in scenario, I would suggest running through the game for 2 basic reasons: to enjoy one of the rare samples of a plain storytelling computer implementation, and... to have your friends freak with a ravenous story-ending.

uhhh, I don't know

When I recieved this game, it only included the 7 CDs from the original adventure. The game was supposed to come with all 12 CDs. What do I do to fix this?

Excellent!!!!!!*************

I played this game when it first came out and i LOVED IT. 8 years later, I am ordering it off ofamazon.com and anticipating my package in the mail. The game is out of print and i have been looking for it for ages, and buying it online is an amazing idea for dorks like me! Ive heard puzzle of flesh isnt as good but ill be the judge of that. AMAZING GAME OVERALL! (P1) Check it out! You will NOT be dissapointed.

The absolute best

This is the most enjoyable and thrilling game I have ever played on the PC. I didn't want to move away from my computer while playing because it was so gripping. I recommend this game for any PC gamer who wants a realistic adventure.

I LOVE this game

I haven't played this game in years but no other game I've played on PC lives up to it. I want another game like it .My friend and I played this together it was like being in a movie. Too bad my computer now is to fast or I'd definitly play it again.

Great game w/ good acting and cool graphics
