Rating: - Shivers
I love this game, I've been trying to find a copy for years. The puzzles are very challenging, theres a good element of "creepiness" and just an drive to figure out whats going on in this town.
Rating: - Not as 1
Usually sequels turn to be bad, and this is no exception. It is an acceptable adventure game, but don't except the gripping experience of Shivers 1.
Rating: - Not Bad, but Not Good Either
Shivers 2: Harvest of Souls is a great game. It's got a unique plot about rescuing your rock star friends, and has got a while-you're-at-it-save-the-barber-as-well attitude. I played this 2 years back, but what I can recall is I got off to a good start. I was a bit reluctant to turn at corners and step into a building for it supposedly comes under Horror, but it's only eerie, nothing out of the ordinary.
To help your friends escape who have been taken as hostages by some raving lunatic part of this sleepy village (or whatever), where the game begins, you need to solve puzzles which give you further clues to their whereabouts. I don't know about that part, I didn't believe it at first: One look at the jazzy cover, and the main objective to solve puzzles didn't sound right, but it was. I completely gave up on the game then. I did try though, but it was too time consuming and a bit frustrating, so a window of walkthroughs was usually open when I played the game. The first clues are the music videos on the television sets found in the rooms in this Cyclone motel where the band was staying in. It gets pretty complicated later on, moving back and forth, listening to telephone messages, reading scraps of paper with scribbles and doodles on them and ah yeah, solving puzzles. This game is basically point-and-click. There are no other ways to interact at all.
I wouldn't say much about the graphics, but I'll give it credit considering it's an old game. The sound effects are amazing, it really sets the mood, and the music videos are pretty realistic. This game has some sudden scenes and can take you aback, in which they succeeded in doing to me. I could mention examples, but I wouldn't want to ruin it.
This is probably a typical Sierra game, thinking along the lines of King's Quest and it's many sequels. I recommend Shivers 2, but it involves patience.
Rating: - Loved it!!!!!!!!
I loved this game. The music goes get a little old after a while, but personally, I hate having to go back and back and back just to ask people questions. This game lets you move in a much more personalized pace.
The puzzles were pretty hard, especially the barber shop. But after a lot of trial and error, you eventually get it!
GET THE 1st ONE TOO!!!!!!!!!
The first one was AWESOME! I think it was better then this one, but this one was really fun too! The ending could, as in most games, have been a little better but it was still a good game!
Rating: - Buy This Game!!!
This game is the best game i'v ever played! When the first one came out i bought it and i haven't beaten it until a day or two ago. Then i heard there was a "sequel" (even though this had nothing to do with the first one but who said it had to) and i knew i had to try it. I did and beat it. I loved it.
