cute and easy
Lot easier than the first one and different. Had a plot but really easy to play. Still a fun game to play.

Finally a HO game that dosen't deal with ghost & the like.
I'm fairly new to ho games but really love this one. I don't like the evil spirt type & this is wholesome.

Buy this only if there is nothing else to do
Slightly better than the first instalment, but still just a straight-up HOG. Story line is thin, no animation to speak of and just dull compared to current games offered. For the price of 2.99 I guess it would be OK, but save your game credits for something better.

Not the best HOG
The storyline is ok not one of best, graphics are kind of childish, tasks that are given cannot be accomplish, this is overall a boring game.

Older game and not that good by today's standards
I got about half way through, but just wasn't interested enough to finish the game.
When this came out, it was probably the state of the art for HOG/Adventure games, but there are so many better games now. I don't recommend it.
It shows you how much things have changed. I played and loved Escape from the Museum 1, when it came out and this one is similar. In this installment, you play the husband, who wakes from a nap to discover that a major earthquake has hit the city and you need to get to the museum to find your wife and daughter.
You make your way through the city, solving problems (getting over a crevasse in the street, over roof tops, past downed power lines, etc.) to reach the museum. Each point has a HO scene that isn't interactive or particularly fun. Some of the actions required to get past the impediment are not intuitive. Along the way, you need to find pieces of machinery that you will need to get into the museum at the end. (Didn't pay to the end, so I am not sure why you need all those parts.)
There are also a number of side jobs (you find a lost puppy and then have to find the owner).
The non-interactive map is useful because it shows where you are and if you haven't completed everything at each locations, like find a part.
The graphics were ok at best. Hints are provided by an eccentric homeless guy, which was a pretty original way to handle that. (If you can't find something in the HOS, he will throw a bottle at the item.) The story is good and so are the sounds effects.
Keeping your heart rate down is part of the game. Not sure how that fits into the overall game play, although, before your wife left for the day, she reminded you to take your medication.
There are some original ideas here and the fact that you can play this game in short bursts is a plus, but overall I thought it was outdated and not much fun. If you are looking for an easy, linear HO/A game, this might be for you, though.

Escape the Museum 2
very frustrating didn't play it for long, 45 minutes. It was slow to react and didn't give much information I would not recomend it.

HO's are pathetic
They could have done something very good with these two games- renderings are interesting of cave man and so forth. But he HO's are impossible to see. I got thru Escape 2 but had to dump the original Escape game half way thru. It's not worth going blind.

Find and fix
Good storyline: David must find his family after an earthquake. He keeps running into problems getting to the museum.
Each problem is a separate scene in the game. You have to find how to solve the problem, such as getting into a mall.
Nice graphics and characters
You use most of the inventory items as you go. Some are left for the end
Cute how the old guy throws a bottle that crashes against the item you need in the HOS scenes
Lots of HOS, most pretty clear
Good hint system, again, the old guy
You can't leave a scene until it is done
No hand holding on this one. You have to find the right place to click to get a HOS.
Good length: 4.5 hours casual
