Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp

Dragon's Lair 2 may not be the most challenging sequel I have ever played but it's still a very charming game if you like Don Bluth's animations & to me it's a very underrated game. Pros: 1. Don Bluth as usual has beautiful art 2. New areas to play on like Eden's Garden for example 3. Good voice acting 4. New bad guys to fight Cons: 1. Not as hard as the original Dragon's Lair 2. Pointless item collecting just to reach the last level 3. unlimited lives 4. The game forces you to restart the entire level again if you ♥♥♥♥ up (In the original if you ♥♥♥♥ up you lose 1 life & you restart at the checkpoint not the entire level but if you lose 2 more lives it's game over) Overall this sequel was only average but I enjoyed my time with it but if your really nit picky about the price then I suggest waiting for a sale if your curious about it. (If I missed anything please feel free to leave feedback)

Now this was one game i used to play down my local arcade all the time and i absolutely loved it,coin after coin would go into the machine and i would allways feel like i was playing the best game in all creation. Dragon's Lair 2: Timewarp Trailer - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSWgIvd6P2E Then i grew up,i still love this game (thats why i bought it and the original) but find that my love for it has dimminished somewhat.I think its because we have so many good and great games these days that we forget where games first came from and how simplistic they were,but i just dont feel the same playing this now as i did when i was that YOUNG man all them years ago.

So i would reccomend it but only in the sales (and if it was cheap) and yes i would in a bundle also,but i cant in all good merit really reccomend it at the price it is.

Показалась еще сложнее первой из-за того, что динамика как будто возросла, а чекпоинтов внутри сцен вообще нет, а сцены большие. В итоге при смерти надо с самого начала сцены играть. В первой комнаты были маленькими. В итоге, оказывается, еще, что для концовки надо собрать все коктебелсы. Тут я вообще офигел. Но я приноровился и прошел игру дважды, в оригинале и директор-кате. Без подсказок, как и первую, даже не буду пытаться. Первое время вообще смотришь только на них. А мультик можно и в меню целиком глянуть.

Unlike the first game, this game is made more frustrating by all the unnecessary hoops set up. You'll be asked repeatedly to retry 3min long button sequences and if you screw up, you have to start all over again from the beginning. This is not fun. Dragon's Lair and Space Ace are the better games to go for. Dragon's Lair 2 leaves you feeling cheated most of the time, which will frustrate you. One example, is when you progress through half or more of the entire game, only to be notified you missed one fo the bonus treasures. So now you have to start ALL THE WAY FROM THE BEGINNING of the game because you missed hidden button presses. That's complete bull**it. It's fun for the novelty, but if you want a fun experience, avoid this and stick to Dragon's Lair or Space Ace.

Dragons Lair 2: Time Warp plays much like the first game, except this time it is more difficult. This game should only be bought to complement the first Dragon's Lair with after you finished the first game. DL2 is honestly more frustrating thanks to needing to find all of the hidden treasures to access the last level and checkpoints being spaced out by entire levels. It is a harsh experience for those learning how to get through each part without hints on, and the repeated dialogue you hear may drive you insane. It doesn't really improve from it's predecessor in any particular way and is more or less the same way of playing except harder. Despite flashes that do give you a general hint on what you should do, there will still be a good handful of times where you are conflicted between two directions it could be, guess wrong, then have to replay the whole level again. It is in my opinion a little worse overall compared to the first game. Only get this if you must have part two of Dragon's Lair after completing the first game and don't mind an additional challenge.

The Don Bluth series of games is now complete with Dragon's Lair II. Not as well known as it's predecessor or Space Ace, yet is every bit as good. I remember the coin-op being significantly easier than the original Dragon's Lair, thanks to a lot of visual clues as to where and when to move or use your sword... and i mean much more obvious clue than there usually were in the first game, mostly flashing sections a-la Ye Boulderss, Ye Rapids. If you were a fan of the original Dragon's Lair then you simply MUST buy this, regardless of whether you played Dragon's Lair II as a coin-op or not...

The ambitious sequel to the innovative arcade game by Don Bluth and his team. The squeaky eye-candy princess Daphne has been kidnapped by the evil Mordroc, who apparently wants to marry her for some unknown reason. While the entire first game took place in the castle, in this one, you travel through 6 different timelines by using a unique flying time machine. Another change is this game plays more like an interactive movie; inputing the correct commands to progress through the level as it goes. I am not entirely sure what the difficulty was on the first game, but this one is pretty difficult, especially when you turn off the move guides which serve as the game's training wheels. Then you have to solely rely on the yellow flashes to figure out what direction to go or when to use your sword. To make matters worse, except in the first level, if you mess up, you will restart to the beginning of the level. So you'll need good memorization skills in order to succeed, especially when turning off the move guide to get two achievements. There are also treasures hidden in each level, which flash yellow when you're nearby. Input the correct direction to obtain the item. You have to collect all the treasures before reaching the final level or else the game will make you restart at the level(s) where you missed them. So overall, this game is a big step-up from the first one; the animation is improved in glorious Don Bluth style, the levels are distinctive to each other, and an increase in difficulty. If you played Dragon's Lair or any laser disc arcade game before, or you are a fan of Don Bluth movies (like me), or you just want a challange, I highly recommend this game.

How could you not love Don Bluth games from the golden age of gaming. No substiture for the original but enjoyable all the same. Get it when its on sale. Jacko Rating 7/10

Great sequel to the groundbreaking arcade classic with a great time travel plot and beautiful animation

Much like Space Ace, this port of Dragon's Lair 2 is the same as the port of the first game, but without any of the special features, making it not really worth the ten bucks. Dragon's Lair 2 is longer than its predeccessors, and yet much less coherent. Its just weird. The plot follows Dirk (still a silent doofus) trying to rescue Daphne (still an over-sexualized caricature) from an evil wizard, who wants to put a cursed wedding ring on her finger that will turn her into a monster. He does so by stealing a futuristic time machine (that speaks with the voice of a stuffy old English guy) from a Scottish snake and using it to pursue the wizard (who is the time machine's brother!?) to other lands such as the Garden of Eden (occupied by fat campy angels and an aggressive, obese Eve) and Alice's Wonderland (which manages to be weirder than you'd expect). Its downright trippy. The individual scenes are much longer here than in previous games, meaning if you screw up you better be prepared to play back through the whole five-minute sequence again. It does a better job of telegraphing what buttons to push and when than its predeccessors, though, making the little button prompts at the bottom of the screen obsolete, especially as they can lead you astray if you're following them blindly. This is because the game has a whole "treasure" mechanic, where there are several treasures hidden in each scene that you must collect to be able to access the game's ending. If you reach the last scene without all the treasures, it makes you start all over again. They're a nightmare to find without help and the button prompts never prompt you to grab them. I ended up just doing the "watch the game" option so I could see how it ended without having to replay the whole thing over twelve times. Not a great mechanic.
