The Struggle Within, delivers more of what made the first Clock Tower such a big seller, and it delivers it big. Horror/adventure gamers looking for a big dose of horror, blood, and suspense, will find Clock Tower II is up to the challenge. This installment of the series features a main character with a split personality, Alyssa. Each of Alyssa's personalities has a different set of skills and gamers will have to learn how to use each personality effectively if they want to survive the game. Add to this twist a great story, 13 different endings, 3 spooky locations, and more than 20 hours of terrifying gameplay and you've got the game that Clock Tower fans have been screaming for!

Eerily successful at creating a creepy, spine tingling atmosphere. The music and sound effects perfectly match the suspenseful story.

PSX Nation
Little effort went into trying to elevate the premise of the game (a young woman struggling with the evil side of her personality trying to emerge and cause deadly mischief) into something more psychological and frightening than what we ended up with.

There's little in the way of excitement; you're given a goal and to accomplish it, you must find the right items, use them with the right things and click in the right areas. Only when you've got to outsmart or destroy a presented enemy does the game become even somewhat interesting.

It's slow as tar, and while there are plenty of frightening moments set in the dark, they aren't nearly as scary as the time my six-fingered uncle came over for dinner. Now that was scary!

It's neither smart, nor frightening, nor fun. Readers are better advised to look at either the most recent "Oddworld" or "Resident Evil" titles, and leave this one for the antique collectors.
