Reviewed by: CNET Staff
In the sequel to the popular adventure game Syberia, Kate Walker returns in another mysterious quest. Photo-realistic graphics and easy-to-learn controls can't make up for a demo that's simply far too short. Though the sequel looks fantastic, there's not enough action to see any advances to the puzzle-based gameplay.The demo is basic. Kate must traverse a snowy landscape, cross a river, enter a fishing hut, outwit a bear who has trapped her in the hut, and recross the river. Despite lacking the drama or suspense that a full game with a complete story line would give us, the demo offers an introduction to the gameplay.
Users can control Kate via a point-and-click or key-control interface, although key control still involves a fair amount of cursor control and selecting. Kate usually can either look or perform an action in various settings. She can carry objects she finds in her inventory, then use them at later times. The sequential form of puzzle-solving--learn one fact to determine the object to get, then use this object to get another object--is well-developed and rational. You won't need to search online for a walk-through or hints. The full game might provide an immersive adventure, but the Syberia II demo doesn't give much indication of it.
