I actually played this first without playing part 1, after I beat the game (aka failed miserably) I went back to part 1 and bought it. I really wish there was more content but I can imagine for a game with so many choices and story lines to consider that it can get lengthy. I'm very excited for part 3. Part 1, seems like a better game since it's a bit heftier in content and choices but part 2 was just as enjoyable. I've played it about 5-6 times now and each time I've found something new and interesting (AND BIG DIFFERENT ENDINGS) Please keep working on the next one! :)

SPOILERS...This entire chapter is based around an army-management minigame, building up to a battle at the end.Now here’s the big spoiler.WINNING OR LOSING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.If you win, you will get cheated of your victory by your plot-armored nemesis. If you lose, you will survive due to your own plot armor. Whatever happens, your friends will be all right and your kingdom will be overrun by demons.In fact, losing may be BETTER. You get to screw up the minigame as badly as you like, and you’ll get a brainwashed friend back. In order to win, you have to kill them. If you lose, the only named NPC who dies is a gruff general who barely appears in The Lost Heir 3 anyway. The only real reason to win is bragging rights.I assume the author responded to feedback that failing TLH1’s boss battle had far too harsh drawbacks by lowering the consequences for losing, but having an arguably NEGATIVE outcome for winning is bewildering. END SPOILERSI recommend just focusing on building up your character for TLH3, because that’s where the stat checks become truly brutal. Again, I recommend physical classes because, if you focused on Magic alone, getting a good ending will be much harder there.

Amazing game. True the writing fell a bit short as compared to the last game. Still, the level of customization and depth as well as scope of the story was nothing less then amazing and earns this read at least 5 stars. Those who would say mother wise are being to picky or perhaps just want to motivate amazing writers like this one to do better and push harder on the edges of their creative abilities.

Compared to the first it felt a bit short.Though, I LOVE the fact Necromancy was added to this! Not enough Games, MMO's and TBs have it as an option; so I can't be harsh on it for that. Just wish it could do a little more than just the horse and companion (still really amazing). That is necromancy though, I hope it would have developed further such as creating an addition or replacing your allies army's with undead legions if they decide to give you a problem. Haha, or maybe a prestige class for necromancer to achieve Lichdom.A necromancer at heart can hope can't he?Though as a scripter of interactive fiction I can vouch as to the fact the more options added the harder and longer it takes to make the story/game.Haha, though I think this game has taken me away from that. I'd be willing to bet i'v put more hours than anyone else into it.
