First of all, I can remember being up all night playing the first Deja Vu on the Nintendo with my younger brother. I thought that the first one was really cool. I was pleased to see that they had made a sequel. I was very anxious to play this game. I really enjoy the text based adventure games as a whole, such as Deja Vu and the Shadowgate series.
The Deja Vu 2 game is one where the player wakes up in a strange room, with strange notes and objects, and finds out that a crime has been committed.
It looks like your character has committed the crime, yet the character has no memory of what has happened to him. It is your job to find all of clues and evidence to find out what has happened. The game leads the player all over an imaginary city looking for those clues. Also, to end the game, the player must turn themselves over to the police. The evidence that you have on you at the end of the game will decide if you are innocent or guilty of committing a crime or possibly the victim of a foul plot.
Overall, the game is a great classic. There was a lot of thought put into the game. It is not a senseless shooter.
Here the game is all about solving the puzzle. The point and click navigation was by far one of the easiest ways to get through the game. The game is challenging and actually hard to finish. The many clues and hints one needs to gather to solve the mystery is quite challenging, and if not done exactly correctly the game will end with unfavourable results. The hardest part of the game actually is finding all of the evidence and making sure that it will piece together in an appropriate manner to clear your name.
Also in the end, what evidence one chooses to keep and turn in vs. the evidence that you need to get rid of to keep yourself safe is a tricky thing to figure out. This game was definitely a step ahead of its time. These days there are a ton of CSI and police style shows on TV, and Deja Vu 2 certainly puts you in one of those investigations. Like I said, I was very happy to find out there was a sequel to a classic game. If you are really in to police dramas and crime scene investigations you should definitely check out this game. There are so few older games that are this much fun.
