Mirror Mysteries 2

Not a good as the first one. Decent hidden object point and click. But.. they changed the mirror's voice. The humor is gone. The game has become more creepy. And the music now sucks. It also shorter than the all really short first one. Get it cheep. Use a sale or a coupon cause it's only worth a buck.

The second Mirror Mysteries are slighty different than the first one. The graphics are a bit better and the locations more interesting (for example the first world which I liked the most is nicely inspired by art deco and maybe even by the Bioshock). The story again revolves around the same bad character as the previous game but this time it's much better (but still nothing deep). The voice acting sounds more professional and the cheesiness from the first game is gone (that's a shame I liked it :D). There are also more and much better puzzles (but they're skippable if you don't want to solve them). Also the gameplay is slightly different this time. Besides the standard hidden object finding there are also some point'n'click adventure elements blended in. So all in all if you like hidden objects finding you are on a good address. Pros: -More interesting puzzles -Better story -Less cheaply hidden objects -Longer than the first game Cons: -Sometimes it's hard to find where to put a com...

...as expected, not much revealed about the identity or the origin of the said Mirror in this sequel. Sadly, there aren't as many worlds in this game compared to the first one either. The game play is flashier, yet pretty much straight forward. Kinda liked the first game better, actually. Adding some animations doesn't establish a keen atmosphere really. All in all, it is not a must, but it has been fun in the sense of basic genre.

I played the first one last weekend, so I figured I might as well wrap up the second while I'm here. Apart from general bad temper, I'm not sure I get the vocal-minority hatred here for Mirror Mysteries 2: Forgotten Kingdoms. It's true that it commits the scarlet sin of not being exactly the same as the first game in the series, although it's actually pretty close. It's a short, easy, slightly silly excursion into a few realms in the lands the malevolent Magic Mirror, which once again has no sense of humor and intends to take over the world and destroy everyone muahaha. If that sounds a little like the original, well, yeah. The first had an easier forward-pressing pace, which this one trades for vaguer goals set in more fantastical worlds. The core mechanic of assembling sets of hidden-object items to move from one location to the next is pretty much the same, as is the enraged mirror that taunts you through the settings. This time, instead of playing Tommy and Charlotte's hero mom, ...

Like the first game in the series, this is more of a hidden object adventure than a point and click game. However, the puzzles are slightly harder. The game is a little buggy; I often had to click multiple times on inventory objects to pick them up, and it was sometimes difficult placing them in just the right spot. It only took two hours to play, the hidden object scenes were very short, and isn't very replayable, so I would recommend picking this one up when its on sale. The story line doesn't follow the first game very well; suddenly the mirror is evil rather than just annoyed at vandal children.

Much more entertainting then part 1, awesome looking, better 'story', aaand... finally, the puzzles aren't dumb and random. Just... damn too short. 7/10

Pros : - Good soundtrack and graphics - very easy to play, and possibility to skip the puzzle - there is a story and you interact with people to help them for a stuff. Cons : - some bugs, I needed to quit the game as I was stuck (missing items) - when you have to look for items (see pictures 7 & 8)... personally I click everywhere, as the hidden items are VERY WELL hidden - sometimes there are non-intuitive actions to do.

Too short. Less than 2 hours for a HoG. Very simple. On the whole a very average game.

Very nice and EASY point and click adventure. Cool story and some decent little puzzles. Lots of nice visuals and very trippy. Took me around 3 hours to complete.

This isn't a bad hidden object/puzzle game - perhaps the puzzles are overly simple, but the HO bits are some of the best I've seen - but it's extremely short, has virtually no story, and is really too easily completed even on Advanced difficulty. That said, if you can get for an extremely low price, consider this a Thumbs Up instead.
