1.                                Introduction

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

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.

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.

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.
