Scary In More Ways Than One...(Warning: There are Spoilers)

...which is not necessarily a good thing in this case. I'm referring to what in my opinion is the biggest flaw of the game: backtracking. In the previous Clock Tower, getting around levels and finding items was not difficult. But here...it is absolutely horrifying. You have to run back and forth to make events happen and collect items (made worse due to the fact that certain times require either Bates or Alyssa)...which becomes annoying to the point you feel like taking that giant blade and stabbing the TV with it. Don't even get me started on how awfully irritating stage three was...Then there are the enemies and the plot. "Zombies" and a "virus" created by a pharmaceutical company...can anyone say "cheap, Resident Evil cash-in?" Sure there are some slight differences between this and the RE game, but making it similar in storyline was just a bad idea.

So what is good about this game? The music definitely adds a creepy feel to the game, and the click-and-point controls aren't shabby (though adding the gun-shooting parts was not a wise decision). The graphics, for some odd reason, make the game more scary, even though they aren't spectacular for a game of its time. If you are a Clock Tower fan and want to give this a try, go ahead. But just be forewarned, that you'll probably be disappointed.

Awesome-O game, you have to play it to like it!

I really loved this game. I bought clock tower, the first one, when it first came out ages ago, i still own it and play it randomly. The point and click was very annoying at first, because you didnt have great control over the character, however when you were being "attacked" it was great, because it made me feel frightened due to the fact that i lacked control plus the game went into a panic mode. This second game followed in its footsteps and i enjoyed just as much.

Very creepy! A must have for survival horror fans!

This game is up there with Resident Evil as far as creep factor! Yes, the graphics and play control leave a little to be desired, but the story more than makes up for it!

This game is quite the stupid type. But, soon it get's scarrier and more dark. I found it very scary, being a little kid and all. Though, I wouldn't reccomend buying it. It's really a bad storyline and the graphics are horrible (except for the beginning appearence.) This game is really a bad game!

garbage

Sure, Clock Tower one was great, and kinda creepy, so I got Clock Tower two. Aside from the slow moving actions with the point and click system, I found the game perplexing. It was fun unlocking the secrets behind the yellow blood, and the knife wielding psycho child, with the echoing giggle. The highlight of the game however is the alternate personatlity, Bates. The voice acting was about as bad as you could get, but for some reason Bates stood out. The 13 endings are difficult to uncover, there are so many things you could do wrong, or right, and you'll find yourself a little disturbed with all 30 zombies you have to destroy, at once. At least rent Clock Tower two, you may be surprised.

Major disappointment...

As a horror-action Playstation fanatic, this was possibly one of the worst video game purchases I have ever made. The polygon-like graphics were primative, the voice-acting was terrible, and the "point-and-click" action made the game mundane and boring. I would've given this game 'zero' stars, but Amazon didn't give me this option.

For those Playstation fans interested in action-filled, horror-themes, I'd suggest the Resident Evil series, and Silent Hill.

Boring and slow

I thought the Clock Tower games looked interesting, but I was sorely disappointed. The controls (point-and-click) are out-of-date and sometimes do not make sense, the voice acting is AWFUL, the movements are SLOW, the graphics are mediocre, the storyline (as much as I could handle) was corny... There are many endings to the game, but who can sit through it?

VERDICT: Don't even rent this one, unless you are a HUGE (and curious) fan of the first game.
