The Glass studio Loooking nevertheless piles up again for a second part comes out in 2000, The Age of Metal. A brilliant result, control, virtuoso ... magical!
An exemplary sequence in the sense that it transcends and improves everything that made the charm of its predecessor without betraying the heritage, who knows a sequel to appropriate the quintessence of the original work to draw all the nectar.
Without engaging in spectacular, outbidding or surplus of action, Dark Project 2 comes from a genuine artistic and passionate approach, obviously sincere. The gamble paid off, as this sequel is truly the culmination of the saga, the episode the most successful to date.
Result, The Age of Metal close to perfection and has an immersion flawless. The architecture levels is more successful than ever, leaving a leeway absolutely delightful. The range of opportunities for understanding each mission and goal is simply astounding. This will define its own way of playing and his own path, even if we stay whatever happens in infiltration, with a rigor so stealth. Needless to say this provides under an amazing replay value and a pleasure to play constantly renewed.
The app provides too rare intoxication. The dark and mysterious atmosphere, the anti-heroic protagonist (Garrett, whose voice has a classy original version), scenario (though less successful than in the first), the variety and interest of the missions, the soundscape that plays an integral role in the gameplay, art direction (lighting much warmer than before) ... this is so successful that the player is literally caught in the strange and terribly seductive universe app. So every action, like cracking of the wood of his bow in silence to clear a water arrow intended to extinguish a torch and cover his thefts, steal a key or a scholarship to the belt of a sentinel does not suspect nothing, hide the unconscious body of a guard we just knock or tracking one of the many secret passages for tracking down hidden treasure, delivers an incredible fascination, even 12 years after its release.
Very captivating, addictive and terribly unique in its style, Dark Project 2 is a videogame vintage.
We expect a fourth installment forward, which will be called THI4F ... theoretically gestating at Eidos Montreal, Deus Ex Human Revolution development team.
