Plus since this was made in ’92, there’s no horrible pre-rendered artwork to assault your eyes, it’s all good ol’ hand drawn artwork the way grandpappy used to do it.
#BEHOLDER 2 REVIEW FULL#
The sprites are large, the environments are varied and nicely detailed, and it even has some full screen cut-scenes to flesh out the story a little (these are short and to the point with no pompous bullshit, the way cut-scenes should be). Granted Eye II uses the old "step-based" grid movement that all first person games used before Wolfenstein 3D, but it still looks great. The first-person perspective is PERFECT for a genre as immersive as RPGs I don't know why everybody doesn't use it. It’s up to you to uncover the plot, never once is it force fed to you in asinine cinematics pretending to ponder philosophical questions. Go kill him by whatever means necessary.", then throws you into the game.

He's gonna try and stop you, trick you, the works. Eye II basically says, "Hey, here's this huge tower with some evil guy at the top.

It's just going to suck and be fucking retarded anyway, so why not choose NOT to insult my intelligence and keep the Choose-your-own-adventure level bullshit out. I don't care if it's an RPG or an action game keep the story to a minimum. But it's all worth it when I solve that wicked puzzle, find some rare new weapon, or finally get my character up a level.Įye of the Beholder II basically takes everything that is so damn awesome about D&D, everything I would NEVER admit to a girl that I like, and crams it into one awesome package. The amount of bullshit stupid jokes I've had to listen to from friends, roommates, etc, is staggering. D&D has always been synonymous with everything nerdly and anti-social, which is why it's such a testament to the brand's awesomeness that normally non-nerdly people like myself are willing to brave the insults of their peers just to get some sweet armor for their level 8 human warrior. "Nerd!" they'll yell, laughing at your back as you're hunched over your keyboard or controller, totally entranced. If you've ever been caught playing a D&D game by a friend or relative, you know the drill. "If you've ever been caught playing a D&D game by a friend or relative, you know the drill.
