Cliff Diver 2: Purchased Sight Unseen

Author:Patrick Farley
Genre:Mystery
Released:1992
License:Shareware
Review:

In Cliff's second appearance, you actually have a certain amount of detective work to do. It's a case of art theft and fraud, with crucial evidence stashed in galleries around town. This time, the lengthy intro contains some useful information. Cliff continues to provide rambling commentary on anything that strikes his fancy. Unfortunately, this game is too symmetric for its own good: the whole game basically consists of two puzzles (one of which is repeated four times) and a lot of padding.

Rating: ***
