Not as good as the origional.
The first one was better. I dislike the game taking place mostly outside, and is parts where I can't tell what is where. I think the first game benefited from being inside, in that you could have things look different, as opposed to rocks, which all mostly look the same. You can also kind of see where you can walk. I found this game to sometimes not tell me where I can go. Can't walk on that. This game also suffers from the 'where am I supposed to go' that a machine for pigs suffered from. It is not scary, but frustrating to run around in circles with a limited resouce (batteries) and not have any idea where to go. A few of the puzzles just did not work for me. I get a hook! Good!.....now what? I am supposed to use it on something? What? And the school parts? That was super confusing, and jarring. All and all, I would say play the first one over there one. Not to say it is a horrible game. No. It is just....not as good. And I feel video games should get better with more of them (with in reason). This isn't movies where the plot needs to build upon. Video games have better technology, and don't need super good plots. The game play is important, and some plot is important. But anyways, it is not a bad game. Buy it when it is on sale, and you might enjoy it more than me.
