King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones

The Good
KQ2 has great, hand-drawn graphics, is filled with animations, and has a great musical score worthy of a true Sierra release. The dialogue is intelligent, witty at times, and often immersive, which is surprising for a fan-creation. The designers (who decided to remain anonymous so the focus would be on the game itself) use the Adventure Gaming System (AGS) to its limits with this release, and the results are quite professional.

The Bad
Perhaps KQ2 is shorter than most gamers are used to, and some people have gripes about the whole "point and click" interface of AGS.

The Bottom Line
If you've been pining for a classic Sierra game for years, this offering will more than satisfy.
