Review # 15331 In Purgatory EpisodeII The Pit daveparnham  / 23.06.2012 (24 Reviews) And the Lepore saga continues… The soundtrack to the title was interesting as the level builder has actually gone to the effort of singing purely for our entertainment, which one can only admire, not for long though… Anyway, you begin the nightmare staring at a dead body, in Lara’s hedge maze. I notice how very dark it is, but flares will take care of that. Soundtrack is actually pretty scary with screams, howls, thunderclaps, and Ms Lepore commenting on it, the tension is great, almost like a horror movie. There appears to be a trail of blood for you to follow. Oh my god, now do we get out! It appears the door is locked. A little further on and a corpse appears to move of it’s own accord, next to a devil’s head on the wall - looks awesome. And when some monsters start chasing her in the water, the screams will haunt you for years to come! A switch opens a nearby door, but it’s difficult to spot as there’s so much shaking, and with the monsters, it’s difficult to escape alive. More scares and screams in a storage room with pushable blocks revealing a switch for a door, and another beast. There’s a couple of bugs in the game, one is the camera angle at some points which means you can't see Lara, and when you leave the game it keeps wanting to reload but never quite gets there! Back to the game, and you finally get out of that maze, then into the garden, push a couple of blocks to some tiles, but no idea what happened if anything. Then a gate to open. There’s a few corpses lying around, I particularly like the one wrapped around the horse. Once you collect a crowbar and use it to open a door, you end up in the sewer. The crowbar receptacle is very difficult to locate as it’s in a dark corner. The sewer is also very dark, and I jumped out of my skin when she screamed and the game ended, the flare just ran out so I wondered what happened, just turned out it was Amanda being squashed by a rolling ball! You need to light a flame and use it to open a door, leading to a key. Texturing overall is good, but quite a number of misshaped ones here and there, it‘s hard to judge since some of the manor has already been done. The atmosphere is incredibly tense as mentioned above. Next task is to open a door, then be shocked/amazed by floating corpses rising up into the air! A horror soundtrack accompanies this. Would love to know how they got the corpses to fly like that. Not much further to go, and you drop down into a deep hole, it’s quite symbolic, like dropping into the depths of hell, and here you meet the devil. Game finished, but is this the end, I doubt it. Is this Ms Lepore on a bad day, yes I think so! You’ll either love it or hate it, I love it! Be prepared to terminate the application each time you die. Net gameplay 1 hour. Level played on a PC. comments about installation, bugs or any other hints for this level. Yes, if you die, it refuses to reload, resulting in you needing to terminate the .exe and restart.

Review # 15348 In Purgatory EpisodeII The Pit Schwarzmama  / 27.06.2012 (980 Reviews) elk.alf@web.de Wer sich gleich zu Beginn wundert, dass Lara endlos viele Lichter aufheben kann, der versteht es, wenn er durch das Labyrinth läuft. Hier ist es nämlich sehr dunkel. Gut auch, denn in diesem einfachen Labyrinth treten eine Menge Texturfehler auf. In vielen Bereichen ist es weiterhin sehr dunkel. Die Texturen sind auch in anderen Bereichen gestreckt und gestaucht. Türen mit unsichtbaren Blöcken davor müssen nicht sein. Der Level ist mit Blutspuren und Leichen dekoriert. Eine Leiche ist auf einem Baum aufgespießt. Sehr makaber und keinesfalls für KINDER geeignet. Durch das Labyrinth kommt man relativ einfach. Eine Stelle gibt es, dort sollte man nicht runterspringen, sondern sich runterhangeln. Bei mir blieb Lara ansonsten einfach im Boden versunken. Im Wasserlabyrinth gibt es ein störendes Erdbeben. Es gibt eine einzige gute Aufgabe. Das ist das Verwenden einer zu entzündenden Fackel. Ansonsten ist alles sehr einfach zu lösen. Die Gegner sind einfach zu erledigen. Ausnahme sind die Gegner in der Wasserhöhle im Einstiegsbereich. Dort aus der Höhle zu kommen, ist eine schwere Aufgabe. Es gab für mich zu der Zeit keine einzige Waffe. Da war es eine Glücksache, aus der Höhle zu kommen. Hier gibt es wieder das obligatorische und nervige Dauergeschrei bei gewissen Aktionen. Gewitter im Außenbereich ist OK, aber in Innenbereichen sollte es wenigstens leiser zu hören sein.
