The World of Magic II is the standard Point and Click Adventure type of game, Similar in style to Monkey Island. Click on an area of the screen to walk there, Click on Look from the Menu then on a screen object to Examine it, Pick up, Operate etc. This follows the Easy and Popular Gameplay for most standard Adventure games, And works very well in TWOM II presenting the Player with easy control over the Character and Actions. The one point to remember is "Left click on an Action Button ie. Talk to, and Right click to carry out the Action its self"
You start the game with your character "Ghelae" locked in his Fathers Castle,To start your Mission You must devise a way to Disable the Guard and unlock the Massive Castle doors.
There are, Of course several rooms to be explored, Items to find and Interactive Characters to talk to, That can Help/Hinder you in your Quest. As standard in all Adventure Games, Talk to everyone, Examine every object and try to pick-up all you can (You may require certain Items later in the Game)
In the duration of the game, You will find lots of
Objects to Use/Read, Masses of Areas to explore
and Countless Characters to talk or interact with!
Boredom is certainly not a problem with TWOM II.
Your Main Character "Ghelae" Starts out as a Rather "Wimpish" young Man, Who seems to have some very strange Habits! Just wait and see what he does to the "Crowbar" Or when you try to use the Cooks Apron. On several occasions in the Game You will burst into a fit of Laughter, and may even, Reload the game just to have a second look!
Brilliant Fun all round
While the Graphics in TWOM II, Cannot be compared to "Classics" Like Monkey Island etc. The high Quality of the Artwork are there for all to see, In fact the Screens in the Game are much better than, Several Commercial Games that have been released on the Amiga Public.
The Rooms, Landscape and Characters are well drawn, Clear and the movement of the Animation smooth and a delight to see. Once outside of the Castle, Some of the game screens are rather Dark, However this Enhances the Mystery of the Area rather than detract from the Enjoyment of the Gameplay.
Perhaps the only drawback in the Game is the Difficulty in finding the correct spot on the screen to allow you to leave that area, However this is more a Problem with The GRAC Program than with the makers of the Game, Just remember if you want to go through a door, Click at the Bottom! Rather than the Middle!
All In All! There can be no complaints with the Graphic display of TWOM II, and it is Obvious that a lot of time and care went into the making of the game!
Nice Jolly music playing in the background, and changing smoothly when you change for one screen to another. The Music and Sound effects are just about perfect for an Adventure type game, and you can happily listen to them in the background with out finding them annoying or detracting you from the Gameplay!
F1 Software, the supplier of the Game, Are well
known in the Amiga circle for supplying Top Quality Games at reasonable
prices! Perhaps some of their "Flagship Titles" would be the excellent
"Relics on Deldroneye" Series and the Brilliant
Valhalla clone "Dark Citadel" So how does their new title
match up to these Shareware Classics?
The World Of Magic II is right up there with the best of them, As far as Adventure games go you will be hard pushed to find a better Shareware Release anywhere.
The Game is easy to play, Fun to play and well worth getting for your games collection. It will provide you with Days on interesting Play and some of the puzzles will have you back tracking and pulling you hair out in handfuls
