Master Gamer

"A Tomb Raider clone with a greater focus on combat could have been fun...if your idea of fun includes playing Superman 64, Frogger 3D, and South Park Rally. It takes a lot more than creepy monsters to make up a great action game. A great action game also needs to have strong AI, control, combat, camera positioning, and sound. Nightmare Creatures 2 has none of these things, which makes it just as bad as the Tomb Raider games that clearly inspired it." Written by Jimmy Payne with screen shots.

Review by Andrew "Zarf" Plotkin

"The biggest flaw of Silent Hill 2 is that it's on a par with Silent Hill -- better in some ways, weaker in others. SH set its standard by being a great leap beyond other horror games of its era; SH2 repeats the standard, but doesn't repeat the great leap. Ah well. "On a par with Silent Hill" is still a fine reason to play a game."
