Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp

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

I really love this game! The animation is really great, and no wonder, Don Bluth drew all this masterpiece! And the game is so fun to play. Actually, Its don't really feel like a game, it feels more like you just get inside the cartoon and do all the action there. I like this part more than first cuz all scenes more "connected" to each other. And I died alot of times there just because i saw some beautiful moment and wanted to take a screenshot. lol It's a shame that this game not so popular, as it should be.
