This game is not what I expected, an I mean this in a good way.I really enjoyed this game.The storyline is superb. The graphics are great! I found myself playing late at night. I couldn't put the game down! The Movies in the game are what surprised me most of all some were heart melting, Scary, Sad, and funny, but all were Awesome. The ending was worth the 4-disc wait! To all Resident Evil fans (like me) I would buy/rent this game. At least take a try at it. If you buy it its worth the money. The only thing that I would con about is that when you return to a spot were you had just killed a monster, they come back, no matter where you are or, how many times you return! Overall I think this is the prefect Dreamcast game!

A warning to all: avoid this game!

I really enjoy RPGs, and when I first saw this game, I was excited when I saw it was a 4 CD game! Then I played it. First of all, the monster encounters were terrible. Personally I enjoy games where you at least can see the monster coming (Tomb Raider), or at least it's a surprise when they show up (Resident Evil). With D2, as soon as I heard my Dreamcast console warm up, I knew I was about to meet up with a monster. Then, it thrusts you into first person mode and you can't run away! All you can do is aim and shoot. Second, the puzzles were easier than first grade math. Third, I forced myself to play to the end (which was fairly easy to get to) and it was extremely anti-climactic. Storywise I felt forced from situation to situation. The only positive I can say is that the graphics were nice eyecandy (although I've been more scared of the mosters in either Resident Evil or even Quake). I enjoyed riding the snowmobile around. That's it. I've heard that the graphics were a lot more hard-core in the Japanese version. If only they hadn't tampered with it, maybe it would have made D2 worth owning.

Contains nudity

As the editor mentions, it is very tedious and repitious. You will find a monster in the exact same spot where you had previously killed another one. And you can not bypass any of the monsters, you have to fight all of them.

One good thing, you'll get to fight a topless woman who has alien tenticles protrouding from her stomach. I guess that's a good enough reason to buy a video game, right ?!

A GREAT GAME

The game controls in this game are odd.You play a third person view like tomb raider, but when a battle comes up it shifts to first person.Only 3 aliens come at you at the most and the minimum is 1.The aliens pop out of the snow about every 10 steps so it's sort of alarming at first but after a while it gets on your nerves.The game has a lot of backtracking where you have to find a cabin with someone in it to talk to.You walk the entire game except for a part where you drive a snowmobile.The game is finding out what happened to the rest of the passengers on your crashed flight and what became of the hijackers after the meteor struck the plane's wing.You find at the beginning of the game that one hijacker bleeds green blood and it appears somehow they became aliens, but you don't know what happened to the rest of the passengers, did they share the same fate?The graphics are wonderful and the game itself isn't that bad except it can get boring or annoying and it is a long game(spanning 4 disks)This game is worth the money.

Great game but not for everyone...

A game which involves a mute waif battling space flowers interspersed with Oregon Trail-like hunting interludes may not be for everyone. The best feature is the creepy and tense atmosphere this game oozes, due mainly to it's slick graphics. I also enjoyed the strange, Sam Raimi inspired boss encounters that pepper the game experience. My favorite so far was the flight attendant spewing airline cliches and vomit while flinging Laura (the protagonist) through the air. Unfortunate qualities include extremely bad dubbing (with many instances of gums flapping without any speech at all) and lots of embaressing "tentacle" monsters (wonder what they symbolize?). I would suggest keeping your girl friends away unless you want them to think you are a pervert. Overall though, it has kept me playing late into the night for the last few days, which says alot (I get bored really easily). If you like Pete Jackson or Sam Raimi movies(Bad Taste, Dead Alive, Evil Dead) you'll probably enjoy the quirkiness and plentiful gore. Also, this is the first game for a console I can think of that features nudity (a completly random topless scene on the second disc). On the other hand, if you're expecting serious horror (like Resident Evil) you are bound to be dissapointed.

a decent game but...

Well, let me tell you this first. Those ppl @ WARP are great. They know how to tell a great story. And their games are almost always unique and new. Now having said that I would like to add some comments on this one.

First of all, why the hell did they pull out that tentacle sex scene from the original Japanese D2? With a heroine like Laura(who's also been the heroine of WARP's other game like D and Enemy Zero), it's a shame that they've taken that out. Besides, isn't this rated mature already? Who would get offended by such small scene? At least they left the shower scene intact in Enemy Zero.

Now the second thing I didn't like about this one is that the voice and the cinema is not really synched very good. I don't think it's due to the traslation from Japanese to English but it was a merely some oversight of programmers. Wish they could patch this so that the voice and the movie go together.

One more thing about the movie is that Laura is muted in the cinematics... Except a brief grunts and uh?s and ummm...s she remains silent throughout the game. So basically, your heroine doesn't say much... or none as a matter of fact.

And the actual gameplay part is somewhat weaker than the other two games from WARP. All you do is stand still, aim, and shoot. Enemies are not too strong and since you can easily replenish your health by eating meat or applying first aid spray, it's very unlikely that you are going to die. Speaking of meat, you'd get meat by shooting some animals, a la Deerhunter style. But after shooting down some hundreds(you don't need to but I did that only for fun of it) or so, it gets boring quickly.

Now some very good part of this game.

Well, it's got very good graphics and very well choreographed cut scenes. Voice acting isn't too bad and the story it unfolds is truly a masterpiece. Also eerie music is simply top notch except the fact that some of piano pieces brought me all those painful memories from Enemy Zero... After playing Enemy Zero, the piano isn't my favorite musical instrument any more.

In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but to dedicated WARP fans or any one who has finished RECV and waiting anxiously for Devil May Cry or Silent Hill 2. Or anyone with time and patience who likes to sit back and watch movies( a long one) and playes games occasionally. Thanks to Amazon.com you can get this one for very good price and even if you are not one of those ppl mentioned above, with that price you should give this 4 GDs a spin or two.

More of a movie then an actual game

D2 has it's moments but for the most part this game is just plain boring. The graphics are stellar, the cinematics were well done and the controls are pretty easy to learn, but when it comes to actual gameplay, there is a lack there of. The game consists of four discs of little more then repetive cgi movies. You control a women who never speeks on camera but supposidly does off. You are forced to trek back and forth to the same spots over and over again killing the same monsters in the same spots the same way each time. 90% of the time you will have no control of what is going on and just sit back and watch. And for every little thing your character does, open doors, pick up an item and so on, you are forced to watch a quick cut scene, Everytime. It gets very old very fast. For those who actualy like to play games rather then look over your friends shoulder and watch, look elsewhere. Don't even bother with this coaster.

Are you brave enough for D2?

OK. I bought this game yesterday and it is FREAKY. I had to shut the dreamcast off sometimes because i was so damn freaked out. The game itself is awsome and the story is really immense. But i have to tell you, you have to have a lot of guts to be able to play this game without getting some sort of addreniline rush. The game is also extrememy gory; sometimes you cant see what you are shooting at because blood is covering the entire screen. So overall if you like to get freaked out or enjoy scary video games, this is the best one yet.

The game to see before online mayhem breaks loose.

As strange as it may sound, this game is actually very scary, even to a veteran horror flick fan like myself. And to add to the depth of how gory this game is, the graphics are some of the best I've seen on a console(even better than 99% of PC games). I was wowed at how many times people in the game got sliced and diced(not going to include any names). If you liked Resident Evil:CV, you WONT like this game. It is alot better, and the story is really intense. If your looking for a game before the explosion of online madness, this should be your number one choice.

D 2,not a game: an interactive experance!

First I must say if your considering buying this game, drop all expectations. It's unlike anything I've ever played. This is definately an adult game. The graphics are excellant, the storyline is supurb, and unless you have 72 straight hours to devote to this game, you'll find it very difficult to put down. This is a four disc game. Alot of the disc space is devoted to mini movies which tell the story as you progress through the game. The voice overs are on a par with cinema, and the gripping realism kept me enveloped throughout the game. The graphics consist of cg, and real video images, which really bind the whole story together. The game is played through first and third person perspective. Ultimately this game has a truley inspiring theme, and an ending worth playing four discs to reach. This game could have been a motion picture!!!
