Death - the grim reaper. The ultimate equaliser. A farewell to the flesh. The end of existence, or merely the next dark step on a journey of mystery? I haven't got a flipping clue, and I'm in no hurry to find out. You could say that Death comes to everyone,and on the Discworld, this is pretty much the case. Until that is, Death goes missing, and things start to go awry. With no-one to give the departed a hefty skeletal boot into the afterlife, they start hanging in a way that isn't particularly convenient to the living. After all, it's all very well having the spirit of a dear departed one floating around your house, but when you find five ghosts, three zombies and a ...  Read the complete review

Mortality Bites, or so the makers of Discworld 2 will tell you anyway in the second ‘real’ adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. If you were one of the unfortunates who had the first inflicted upon them then you'll be forgiven for steering well clear of this title, but you'd be wrong too because its much improved. It doesn't matter if you aren't a fan of the books either, you'll still enjoy a rather fun game, especially since this one seems far more Monty Python that Discworld inspired anyway! Rincewind returns again as the hapless wizard put in yet another hopeless situation. You see, Rincewind has messed up ...  Read the complete review

I found Discworld two much easier than DW1. Maybe after a while you get used to the zany way of puzzle solving, or maybe it is easier. Whatever, I completed it in just two weeks, which gives a great feeling of satisfaction, but also brings about a great sense of loss. Much like reading, and finishing, a really good book. If you like adventure puzzle solving games, you will love Discworld. It is easy to get involved with the characters, even if some of them drive you nuts. It is not necessary to play Discworld one first, but better if you do, since some of the characters are the same, and make jokey references to the first game that you won't get if you ...  Read the complete review

What happens when you mix up a flat disc-shaped world held up by four elephants on the back of a giant turtle, Eric Idle's voice and some gorgeous old school cartoon graphics and a terrifically fun script? A great computer game. Based on the world explored in Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld books this game starts when Death - the guy with the cloak, scythe, a grand-daughter named Susan and a rather adorable horse - goes missing and people who die, well, just carry on. Enter our Hero. Rincewind - not the brightest alum of the Unseen University and delightfully voiced by our former Python, Mr Idle. It is Rincewind's and so your ...  Read the complete review

I love the Discworld games, and through them have come to love the Discworld books. I had never read any Terry Pratchet before, but enjoyed the humour of the games so much, I thought I'd give them a go, and was very impressed. I would imagine if you read the books first, it must be even better, seeing all the little characters you already know, come to life. I found Discworld 2 to be much easier than discworld 1, although that may be because I was more aware of the way the puzzles would work. Either way, I completed the game, without any hints or cheats in 2 weeks, and as is always the case with me and these type of games, was momentarily delighted to have ...  Read the complete review
