Product Description
MediEvil II, like its predecessor, is an action game with a liberal mix of puzzle solving, fighting, and humor. The first MediEvil was about Dan Fortesque, a skeleton in shining armor. He died as a soldier, fighting against the evil sorcerer Lord Zarok, but rose from the dead--along with everyone else in the graveyards--when Zarok cast the spell of Eternal Darkness. Though Dan was successful by the end of that game, in MediEvil II, he's been summoned again 500 years later--in 1888 A.D.--because evil magician Lord Palethorn has found pages from the original spell book. Now Victorian London is overrun by undead, and it's your job, as Dan Fortesque, to fight through several levels and stop Palethorn before he takes over the world.
You'll find a variety of weaponry available to you, including a steam-powered Gatling gun and an ever-trusty sword. Dan's detachable head and hands even provide different perspectives on some levels.
Features:
- Sequel to MediEvil set in Victorian England
- 3rd-person action-adventure with mixed-perspective play
- New puzzles to solve
- New weapons include a steam-powered Gatling gun
- Larger levels than previous version

Editorial Review
MediEvil took many players by surprise in 1998 with its zany British sense of humor and skeletal hero Sir Daniel Fortesque. Now, that bony knight returns in a sequel with a lot of fun gimmicks and the same solid play that made the first MediEvil such a hit.
This time around, Dan's been yanked from his eternal slumber once again, only to find himself inside a museum in Victorian England, where an occultist named Palethorn has wakened the dead. Dan must defeat these walking fossils, using his sword and other weapons, while also solving an array of puzzles. Dan's got some new moves to help him along the way, including the ability to stick his skull onto a walking hand so that he can search inside small cracks.
Compared to the series debut, MediEvil II offers better graphics, but isn't quite as funny. The original's 3-D camera problems haven't been fixed and in some cases are worse than before, but overall MediEvil II makes for a worthy follow-up. --Robb Guido
Pros:
Clean, gothic graphics
New moves and more playable characters than the first
Cons:
Hyper camera
Level design could have been better
