Mirror Mysteries 2

If you liked the first one then you'll like this one. All of the hidden object portions of this game are find the pieces to build the item then use it in the scene to reveal more pieces to the other items you need to build & use until the final item is built, which is the item you are after. Instead of a printed list of objects you are given boxes which contain pictures of the pieces you have to find. Each box represents an item you are building as you find the parts. I find this a nice alternative to the list of items we usually have in these games. That said, it would be nice if we could have both kinds in the same game. Loved this one as much as the first, and I'm sure I'll replay it as often too. If you are a hidden object fan, then you need this game in your life.

Leider gibt es hier keine Möglichkeit für eine mittelmäßige Bewertung... denn weder ja noch nein ist der Fall bzw. fände ich Nein doch etwas harsch. MM2 ist an sich ein ganz angenehmes Spiel, verglichen zu seinem Vorgänger jedoch nichts besonderes. Der Anfang scheint ganz vielversprechend zu sein, aber der Rest des Spiels bleibt dann größtenteils doch hinter den Erwartungen zurück für mich. Auch hat das Spielprinzip etwas von seinem Charme eingebüßt, weil es nicht so viel Spaß gemacht hat wie der erste Teil. Allerdings bin ich auch froh, das man einige alte Funktionsweisen wiederverwendet hat, um einfacher in das Spiel zu finden. Und die Suchorte, oder die neuen Hintergründe insgesamt, waren sehr schön und reich gestaltet. Ein paar der Rätsel haben bei mir irgendwie keinen Sinn gemacht, ich musste sie überspringen um weiterzukommen. Auch besaß dieser Teil nicht unbedingt einen roten Faden - der Vorgänger schon eher. Zusätzlich fürchte ich, das MM2 nicht wirklich einen Mehrspiel-Wert hat, sobald man erst einmal das Ende erreicht hat. Beim ersten Spiel freue ich mich immer wieder, es von vorne zu beginnen. Bei diesem hier weiß ich gar nicht, ob ich es überhaupt in Erinnerung behalte.

Nicely done game, original hidden object scenes, interesting puzzles. Unfortunatelly too short.

The Mirror Mysteries: Forgotten Kingdoms is an improvement over the original. The game is a bit longer in length and the worlds are more fleshed out. The game still isn’t as involving as it could be and I question the need to change the mirror’s personality. People who enjoy the original weirdly may take issues with changes that improve the game while others who didn’t enjoy the original may see slight improvement but not enough to justify spending enough time with the sequel.

[b]Pros[/b] +60FPS +Nice art style, improved graphics +HO scenes fun +Good HO scene difficulty +Puzzle variety is good [b]Cons[/b] +Short (barely 2 hours) +No story +Bad voice acting +No click penalty +Full screen aspect ratio only I played the first Mirror Mysteries over 2 years ago. With that said, this sequel isn’t very good but does have some positives. The art style and graphics are nice and seem to be improved. The first world with the Fallout like info terminals is great. The 2 main areas of the game are of course the HO scenes and the puzzles. The HO scenes were good and follow the first game where you are given an object to find rather than the word. Some objects were hidden very well and hard to find, which makes for a good challenge! Puzzles this time are described at the bottom of the screen. There were some unique ones that I haven’t come across, which is always nice to see. They were all easy and shouldn’t cause much trouble. The game is very short. Barely 2 hours and only had a couple different worlds to travel to. [b]Conclusion[/b] I’m giving this a thumbs down due to the short length and feeling like a step down compared to the original. With the decent puzzles and HO scenes, it will get the same score as the first game. If it’s on sale for less than $1, then go ahead and pick it up if you’re into the genre. Otherwise, you can pass this one up [b]4/10[/b] Below Average
