Two years ago, a group of young teenagers was trapped inside its school, haunted and hunted by creatures unleashed via biological experiments by their maniac headmaster, Herbert Friedman. Some of the youngsters survived that terrible ordeal, while others perished. In order to make it out alive, the teens gathered together to kill Friedman. Entirely justified in their act of revenge, the survivors have picked up their lives and are all in college. But not everything is right at Fallcreek University. Strange black flowers have suddenly appeared all over the campus, and they contain a substance that induces weird but vivid dreams. A handful of students discover that there is more to the flowers than anyone could have possibly expected. When the seeds finally germinate, a bad trip suddenly turns into a horrible reality. Obscure II enables you to choose a playable character and one AI-controlled sidekick. There are six playable characters in total, each with their own unique abilities. These can be switched at various points in the game. Obscure II also includes a co-operative option where a pair of friends can team up and attempt to survive the game together.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Overall, Obscure 2 is a highly entertaining and enjoyable game despite the lack of any real horror moments. For a game to be released so late into the PS2’s life it has effective dark graphics and a great feel to it. The multiplayer option really sets the game on fire despite its linear Gameplay style and simple puzzle system, but it all fits together nicely into a tight package. Beginners can find an element of enjoyment in this, whilst others can take pleasure in it addictive manner. I doubt another game would follow, but Obscure 2 is a fantastic starter whilst you wait for the main course to come.
