1. My Review

=====================================================================

Graphics - 8/10

At first looks, the graphics haven't improved much over Kings Quest I. 
They look the same as the original, however they have been improved 
greatly. For a start, there seems to be more detail put into still 
objects, such as trees and objects to pick up. There is actually 
animation in things other than just the characters. At the start of the 
game, you are standing near a beach, and you can see a wave break 
against the rocks. Naturally, after playing on the PlayStation for a 
bit, the graphics do lose their appeal, but try and remember what it 
must have been like when this game was first released. People were 
stunned by the graphics, which are in 3D. People were even more stunned 
when they saw that you could actually walk about the locations, and even 
walk behind and in front of objects.

Sound - 6/10

Unfortunately, the sound hasn't improved at all from Kings Quest I. It's 
still the same annoying beep boopity beep boop, repetitive annoying tone 
coming somewhere from within the depths of the PC. If you find the sound 
too annoying, you can simply turn the sound off by pressing F2. 
Actually, once you know about this function key, you might even leave 
the sound on so you can hear what people actually had to put up with.

Gameplay - 9/10

Ah, the gameplay has been much improved over the original! For a start, 
there are more points to get. 185 of them in all, which definitely 
improves over the 158 points of the original. In order to get these 
points, you have to complete a series of puzzles. The puzzles can be as 
simple as picking up a shell, or as difficult as trying to find a magic 
carpet to fly above the clouds. The annoying speed factor has been much 
improved. In the original, the only speeds selectable were slow, normal 
and fast. Slow was unbearably slow, normal was far too slow, and fast 
was... well, just too fast. In Kings Quest II, things have been much 
improved. You have the choices of walking slow, medium, fast or fastest, 
and it definitely improves the gameplay having all these different 
choices of speed to choose from. The puzzles are set at about just the 
right level, and are far easier than the devious puzzles of the 
original. The game still uses the old typing interface, seeing as there 
was no mouse invented at the time this game was released. The old typing 
interface was far more annoying to use than most of the point-and-click 
adventure games, and usually would involve you typing in simple 
sentences such as "climb tree" or "get shell". As you make your way 
through the strange lands, you will see all manner of objects and 
characters with which you can interact. The game is non-linear, meaning 
that you don't have to follow a strict and certain path. And another 
aspect of what makes the game so good is trying to find all the points 
(185 is the most you can get). When you complete the game for the first 
time, it's unlikely that you will find all the points, as there are many 
ways to complete this game. This game has great gameplay as there is 
just so much to do!

Lastability - 8/10

Kings Quest II is much more simple than the original, but it is also a 
bigger game, with much more to do. Whenever you accomplish a certain 
important task in the game, you will get points added to your overall 
score. There are 185 points to find in total, and finding every single 
point is very difficult. For this reason, it's likely that your score 
isn't going to be 185/185 straight away, so you'll probably want to go 
back and try and find things that will get you more points. By the 2nd 
game, you might have maximum points. By the 3rd game, you'll have 
probably found out that there's still a lot more to do in the game 
besides getting maximum points. By the 4th game, you might have found 
just about everything. And from then on, you'll probably just play the 
game for the fun of it!

Overall - 8/10

The graphics have been much improved over the original, and there is now 
animation on things, such as the waves breaking against the rocks. The 
sounds unfortunately haven't improved, and there are still the same 
annoying speaker sounds which ruin the atmosphere of the game. The 
gameplay is good, as there is so much to do. The typing interface has 
been improved, and now understands many more words that you type. And 
the lastability has also been improved. Although slightly easier than 
the original, Kings Quest II is definitely the larger game. Overall, a 
good game which slightly improves on the original.
