The sequel to Strahd's Possession, Stone Prophet is pretty much the same, though it adds a few more elements.

The Good
The graphics are a lot better. Particularly the character portraits; the NPC character portraits, for instance, gives you a feeling of the personality of the NPC. The NPCs are more interesting: for instance there is a were-jakal who can polymorph as a special ability, and a desert troll that heals slowly. Also, the game has added the ability to fly and levitate! There are also new magic items, one of the best being the Helm of True Seeing. Other than that, it's pretty much the same as Strahd's Possession.

The Bad
There were a few problems with it: the game, despite installation, runs off of the CD, inevitably resulting in loading time when entering new areas. Also, although neat, the necessity of water to survive is fairly annoying: you have to waste inventory space carrying water around, risking the encumbrence of your character. (There -is- a create water spell, but I would rather memorize a defensive/offensive spell for fighting.)

The Bottom Line
A sold first-person-perspective-3D RPG. It's actually great fun, and you get to transfer your characters from the first part, along with their weapons.
