I bought this from Best Buy for $10. That was $10 more than it was worth. If you like an 'adventure game' that is nothing more than scan the pretty background with a blue cursor and click when it turns green then this is for you. Otherwise look elsewhere. The adventure games I played on my computer 20 years ago were miles above this piece of trash.
Disappointing.... July 25, 2004

I anxiously pre-ordered the game from the Adventure Company ($20) since I totally enjoyed the first Crystal Key (that game got me hooked on PC games).What a disappointment! I had technical difficulties to start with and the game play was awful. I will admit the graphics are good and the story line is so-so, but the jumping back-and-forth to locations and trying to figure out the next steps is extremely tedious. Eventually I finished the game, but only because I hate giving up on something (even if it is bad!). Not worth the money.

I waited for months and months for this game to be released. When I first started the game I wrote off the absolutely abysmal character voice overs as "something I could deal with" and anxiously looked forward to the puzzles. What a complete disappointment. The dialog was difficult to listen to, again and again. If you went back to see if something was new.. and it wasn't.. you got the whole original speil again. The puzzles were either way too easy.. or not intuitive at all.. a bunch of try everything until it works. They also had to be done somewhat in a particular order. If you guessed that you needed something early etc, you couldn't do it until the game was ready. I was all ready to finally get to a "new" place when I realized I had finished the game. Even if this game is in the "bargain basement" box for $2.. forget it, it isn't worth it.
This is a perfect example of everything *not* to do for a game of this type.. Oh.. there were a couple really neat graphics.. but look on any review site and you can see the couple that are worth bothering to see.. and you can't traverse them so what you see there is what your going to get in the game
A below-par generic adventure game April 20, 2004

Sturgeon's law states that 95% of everything is crap. I think he was optimistic - for every Hamlet, there are bezillions of sitcoms; For every Ring Cycle, there are several cubic yards of mindless MTV pap.And for every Myst, or Syberia, there are far too many games like Crystal Key 2. Crude and muddy graphics, pointless story line, endless exposition, and illogical puzzles based on the tried and trusted technique of 'search everywhere until you are frustrated; talk to everyone many times over; try everything in your inventory, in combination if necessary' No redeeming features, as far as I can see....
not worth the money April 5, 2004

Completely disjointed, bad graphics, stiff characters, obscure puzzles. And I paid $39.99 by pre-ordering from Amazon.ca and saw it on EB's shelf 2 days before I got my copy from Amazon, for $19.99!!!!! $20.00 cheaper!!!! Live and learn....
And it's not even worth the $19.99 IMO. Save your money.
