Great audiovisuals, shallow gameplay

(Review for Shadow of the Beast 2: Game rip by Mad-E-Fact)

Like with many Psygnosis games, the Beast series had great atmospheric graphics (multilayered parallax scrolling, beautifully drawn loading screens) and an equally great soundtrack (the e-guitar solo in the game-over screen), but espeically Beast 2 was lacking in the gameplay department. The game was insanely hard and very short, to make up for that you could get stuck in lots of places and had to restart.

8/10
