King's Quest II was the sequel to the original King's Quest game designed by Roberta Williams. Several people were discontented with this sequel, believing the puzzles were illogical, and the storyline was too sparse.
The King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones remake includes additional storyline, puzzles, enhanced artwork, digital music, lip-synced character speech portraits, fully narrated audio track (over 3,800 lines), atmosphere, depth, and more -- basically, the whole nine yards!
Sierra's KQ2 was rather lacking, but this remake brings it up to date with new graphics, an original soundtrack, and a rewritten plot and puzzles that make for a very enjoyable gaming experience.
We'd love to hear what you think about the game!

Solid game. Seamless transition between puzzles made it nearly impossible to stop playing. It was always clear what needed to get done - no aimless wandering about. There was a bit too much about women being obsessed with youth and looking beautiful for my taste.
It's one of the best adventure games I've played. It puts Kings Quest II right there up with Kings Quest VI for me. I loved it.
loooooove it, everything about it was enjoyable
This game is absolutely amazing, innovative, charming, all of the above and more. I don't think I've ever had as much fun and been more immersed in the plot of a game than I have when I played this game. It's worthy of all 6 AGS awards it was given and quite possibly more. I enjoyed every one of the 5-6+ hours I spent playing it.
Now I'm afraid to go play the original because I know it's going to be worse!
This was one of the most charming adventure games that I have come across, with many clever improvements over the original. This is one of those games which ends well; it brings closure to all the loose ends. However, the beginning and middle are also gripping and entertaining. This is an excellent game to share. My younger sister and I played through Tierra's KQ1 prior to this game, and this one was so rich in its complexity and yet, so well designed, that she put the pieces together on many puzzles faster than I (she wasn't even 12). Truly a classic tale extolling many virtues and illuminating the consequences of many vices. The Greek Poets would be pleased...if they weren't dead.
