Disappointing

I expected more from the master Roberta Williams. Phantasmagoria was a disappointing exercise, a boring game limited rather than helped by its FMV graphics. The game actually began pretty well, but the introduction of two useless and annoying characters in the middle of the story, and a lack of interesting game play twists killed all interest I had. Only one chapter through the sequel, Puzzle of Flesh, and I was bored out of my mind. The characters were not believable, and the plot dull and lifeless.

Excelente mistery game

I found these games highly impressive and exciting. They were well written and created. I will never tire of playing these games they ultimately captivated me. If you are a person, who likes adventures and mysteries and If you like to snoop for things, then this is the game for you! Well worth the price!

I thought that both games were wonderfully done. The Master Williams struck a winning cord with me. The talent that she has shown through the ages was revealed again.

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it! I HATED TO SEE IT END! Of course I got myself killed in the end..... but I'll be ready next time. And we'll see what happens then. I hope I can find another game that I enjoy as much as this one. My son was right, BUY IT....

This game took me only a few hours to go through. I found it disappointingly simple. I could easily figure out what was going on and what I needed to do. I found Myst more challenging. Save your money.

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.

First of all, I don't understand why some people dislike Phantasmagoria 1, I mean it must be the best computer game i've ever played! I didn't like nr 2 as much as nr. 1, because the story behind nr. 1 is just... fanastic. I love the characters, the house, the story... everything! Roberta Williams did a really good job on Phantasmagoria, she should be proud.... Buy it, rent it, or borrow it today, you'll not regret it!

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.
