Discworld II casts players again in the role of Rincewind, from the first game.
Death, the grim reaper, who normally ushers the Discworld inhabitants into the afterlife, is on an extended vacation. This means that those whose "time is up" are faltering around in limbo. Now it's up to Rincewind to bring him back or suffer the fate of immortality.
Gameplay is divided into 4 Acts. There are many locations to explore and a multitude of obstacles in Rincewind's path to overcome. Conversations with characters and interaction with inventory objects is necessary to move ahead.
The game features unique humour similar to the previous game.
Manufacturer's description:
What happens when a public servant goes missing? Very little. What happens if this public servant just happens to be Death? Plenty. And you'll find out just how much in this, the stunning second instalment in the Terry Pratchett based Discworld series, developed by Perfect Entertainment. With the incompetent wizard Rincewind taking up Death's scythe, the streets of Ankh Morpork may never be the same again.
Unlike other sequels you may have seen, Discworld II has more than just a quick buck in its fiendishly clever mind. Like dozens of brand new bizarre characters, outlandish scenarios and gloriously funny gameplay. Like an outrageous storyline, stunning graphics and voice-over and song by Eric Idle. Like Death as a rock star!? Featuring over 30,000 original animation drawings and using the latest Toonz technology, Discworld II promises to be as visually striking as it is entertaining, while the full-screen gameplay of this animated extravaganza is certain to be a winner.
