About this product

Product Information

A murderous lunatic known only as Scissorman is out on a killing rampage, with 10 victims currently under his belt. The Scissorman is a deformed man (or is it a woman?) whose face is completely wrapped up in gauze, has a nasty limp, and wields a pair of three foot long scissors. Assuming the role of either a psychiatrist, or the only person to ever escape Scissorman's menacing wrath, you must set out and solve the evil mystery surrounding the Clock Tower murders. Unmasking Scissorman is also a top priority next to staying alive.

  • A worthy sequel to a more worthy game.

    Great use of sound and music (and silence) to enhance the tension throughout. The graphics are fine for the time, but the fully rendered polygonal 3d wasn't quite ready for prime time when this game was made. I recall the first Clock Tower was made when 16 bit graphics had reached full potential, and was much more effective at creating a creepy atmosphere out of seemingly ordinary places. The gameplay is about as fluid as the first game. The only drawback is how often your assailant, 'Scissorman', wanders in at random. It's great the first couple of times, but I found myself just rolling my eyes at having to go back to a hide/trap point to be rid of him so I can get back to where I was in the game. The first game did not have this issue, as Scissorboy tended to pop up only in scripted bits in certain rooms. The story, I haven't finished yet, so I won't comment on that, except to say it appears to be a decent continuation of where the first game left off, though the cast is a bit crowded here, and the urban sprawl aspect makes it less menacing. Keep it simple. The value, I gave it a 'no' on 'good value' simply because this game is downright EXPENSIVE now. I understand why, since it's kind of rare and the vintage game market is crazy right now. People are scavenging for physical copies, now realizing how fragile their games are in the hands of people who hate them. Overall, the game is worth playing, and if you have the liquid cash, snag it while you can, but don't risk utility bill money for it.
