 Good follow up to Syberia I., 2007-01-19
I bought this game because I really liked playing the first Syberia. I wasn't disappointed here either. Even though this game was by a different company than the first, the characters, look and feel of the game are the same. The only thing I really didn't like about this game was some parts of it require you to do a lot of walking back and forth to get things, combine things, etc. This made the game kind of boring in spots. Otherwise, it was a lot of fun.

 FANTASTIC!!!, 2006-11-04
Even if you use a walkthrough this game has enough story, charisma and visual beauty to keep you interested and wanting to move on to the next scene. The conclusion of SYBERIA is not disappointing. A Keeper!

 More of the same, 2006-06-28
The sequel to Syberia suffers from all of the same flaws that I pointed out in my review of the original game. The views are still picturesque, the rest of it is still a little sub-par. I think the quality of the writing went down a notch, actually. Quite a few details just didn't make sense.
For example, her boss hires an investigator to track her down and bring her home. Why? She's already talked to him and said that she's fine but she's staying where she is. What's he so obsessed with finding her for? Find a replacement and write her off the payroll! If her family wants her they can hire their own investigator.
So the numerous cut scenes where her boss is trying desperately to locate her left me scratching my head. There are a few other situations where people just don't act quite as you'd expect as well.
My biggest problem with the story was that the ending didn't really resolve anything. I had assumed that when Kate got to Syberia she'd find out what happened to the Yukols and maybe shed some light onto Hans' lifelong obsession. But nothing of the sort happened. It was kind of disappointing.
*MINOR SPOILERS AFTER THIS POINT*
More Gripes: When Hans is at Death's Door, he asks for Oscar to "open his heart" to him. Apparently that meant that Oscar dies and becomes... some sort of weird body armor for Hans. Apparently, that helped bring him back from death's grip so that he could continue on.
What?? Did Oscar have some sort of magical healing powers I wasn't aware of? Apparently Hans had planned all along for this to happen... how did that kind of planning come about?? You can puzzle over this for hours and not make sense of it.
Kate's very sad at the event, I've read other reviews that have called it a tearjerker. But for me the characters were so flat and uninspired that I really didn't feel that much for them. Although I will say that Oscar was one of the more interesting ones.
Then a guy gets pecked to death by penguins - the game does have it's humor!
In the end you get to Syberia and manage to figure out how to call the Mammoths. Hans climbs up one and rides off into the sunset. That's it, the big ending. He rides a Mammoth. Now he can die happy I guess. He could have had almost the exact same experience by travelling to India and riding an Elephant... but for some reason it had to be a Mammoth. We never find out why.
But he's happy now, I assume he'll find a quiet place to die. The island itself seems deserted - did the Youkols there die out, or are they just on another part of the island? What's Kate going to do now? Isn't she effectively stranded?
With so many loose ends, the conclusion just wasn't very satisfying.

A tad less inspired then part one, 2006-04-20
While still a great came, quite better then most adventures; this sequel feels a little too rushed out to offically be called part two to syberia..It does at times lack direction and the narrative arc that made part 1 so appealing to play the whole way through, but it more then makes up for this with spectacular frozen locales and the chance to actually see the land you were promised in part 1.An all too rare series that truly transports the player to a foreign, magical land..

What is your destiny?, 2006-02-12
Syberia II starts off where its predecessor left off, with Hans and Kate on a journey to find the long lost Syberia. Even more magical that the first, Syberia II takes you places you've only ever dreamed of, meeting some very mean characters along with very charming ones. You'll find this very enjoyable if you liked the first one.
