Hide & Secret 2: Cliffhanger Castle offers an onslaught of over-the-top dialogue and madcap situations that are so crazy they actually work - sometimes.
Merlin sends Will and Anna on a quest to find pieces of Arthur’s armor and return them to Camelot to reveal a secret regarding Arthur’s descendants. The far-reaching quest takes them to locations around the world as they must first track down various historic artifacts, like King Tut’s mask and General Tso’s jade dragon, that serve as keys to unlock special locations where the armor is being kept.
Gameplay consists primarily of hidden object and spot-the-difference challenges that will find you completing an eclectic medley of tasks based on a hodge-podge of different locations and historical references. You’ll be searching for hammer-shaped runes on an obelisk or comparing side-by-side images of rows of terracotta warriors one minute, and the next you’ll be clearing out a house of haunted items (including a haunted microscope, life vest and caterpillar!) so that the ghost fluttering on the screen will leave.
Hide & Secret 2 brings a unique twist to the hidden object format in that each set of levels is capped off with a scenario that combines a hidden object search with an action sequence. For example, while investigating King Tut’s tomb, Will and Anna trigger a trap that will fill the pyramid’s interior with water unless they can clear out all the modern items, which involves clicking on all the required items before the water slowly filling the screen reaches the top.Ridiculous scenarios like the ghosts and haunted items lend Hide & Secret 2 a weird sort of charm, but not everything about the game is as endearing. Will’s constant references to eating, his general cheesiness and groanworthy puns grate on the nerves.
