Product Description

Rincewind and the citizens of Discworld are back for another adventure in DISCWORLD II: Mortality Bytes! The Grim Reaper has suddenly taken a vacation; with Death out of the way, the inhabitants of Discworld cannot die in peace. In fact they can't die at all. Since he saved the world from a dragon, everyone looks to Rincewind to save Discworld again. This time he must find the Reaper and return everything to normal. Take control of Rincewind, who is now a librarian, and use a point-and-click interface to search for death. The 25,000 cells of hand-drawn animation will help bring the adventure to life. When dealing with the Reaper, you never know what's going to happen. Play DISCWORLD II: Mortality Bytes! and discover why Death takes a holiday.

4.0 out of 5 stars Discworld Humor on your PSX, June 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Discworld 2: Mortality Bites (Video Game)

When I first saw Discworld I in stores, I knew I had to have it. It was hilarious, and you got to see all your fav characters walking and talking. However, the problem was the game was too difficult, and the solutions didn't make a whole lot of sense (which meant a lot of clicking everything together until something works). This game, the sequel, has improved over the first immensly. Instead of a blank "That doesn't work", the game gives you little hints to go on. The animation is better, the humor more frequent, and everyone's fav character, Death, who TALKS LIKE THIS, drops in several times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Discworld fans., February 2, 2009

This review is from: Discworld 2: Mortality Bites (Video Game)

Here's the deal: If you are a Terry Pratchett fan and love Discworld, this game is a MUST HAVE.
If not, READ THE BOOKS, then play this game. *wink* Otherwise, much of the humor, inside jokes and character references will be lost to you (such as the "I AIN'T DEAD" sign on Granny Weatherwax, and exactly why it is that Windle Poons is wasting his time trying to drown in the Ank river). You will also find some clues will not make sense and waste lots of time randomly clicking everything.
Even though this has Eric Idle as Rincewind, this is NOT a MONTY PYTHON game. Don't expect it.
I had this game on the PC a long time ago and I loved it. Now, I feel very nostalgic and I plan to get the PC version again soon.
By the way, to the person who didn't understand how to "catch a smell", you really don't understand the character of Foul Ol' Ron and his distinctive "smell" that is so strong it has its own personality. Of COURSE you have to catch it in a bottle and of course you have to have the right bait for a foul smell...STINKY BOOTS. Now...how to sober up a drunken chicken to make it crow for the vampire...

This is a great game for fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Like the first animated Discworld game you assume the role of Rincewind, forced against his will to yet again save the Disc, this time from a lack of Death. This is much better than the first game because the various puzzles make a bit more sense and you are given clues as to what items might be used for. This game has many apperances by various Discworld characters. Its a great adventure type of game. I have played the PC version but I'm sure the Playstation version is just as good.
