Party Hard 2 Reviews
There are undeniably some issues that need to be ironed out, most entertainingly highlighted by NPCs gleefully ignoring murders in one stage so long as they’re performed with a forklift, but the underlying promise here really shines through when everything is working as expected. The biggest issue is that things don’t always work as expected; during one stage that begins by forcing you to kill four bikers with your “ultimate” attack, a randomly-wandering NPC was placed close enough that the police were chasing me seconds in through no fault of my own. You can forget about evading police in Party Hard 2, as well, with the pairs of officers that show up having a preternatural talent for knowing where you are and boxing you in.
If you've ever wanted to murder your neighbours when they exceed a comfortable decibel limit, then this is the perfect game for you. You'll find satisfaction in the game's many clever puzzles that deliver pure murderous fun and the almost contemplative nature as you avoid getting caught. Coupled with a great art style, this is a fun little romp that your secretly psychotic heart can indulge in.
Party Hard 2 does what all sequels should. It keeps what worked, cuts or changes what didn't, and adds some new stuff to keep things interesting.
Party Hard 2 does just about everything right. It’s a game of skill, strategy, and patience. It can also be frustrating with its increased difficulty, and can be off-putting, especially when you’ve completed most of the objectives and an ill-timed move spells disaster. Party Hard, a game I absolutely adored, is simply outdone with Party Hard 2. Every aspect and mechanic is improved over the original for the better, making Party Hard 2 a must-play.
Party Hard 2, is an excellent game. There is a large variety of ways to kill people while still providing a challenge by forcing players to do it quietly… or at least as close to quietly as you can get when throwing a grenade. Its only real downfall would be the boss fights which don't quite work with how the game normally plays, with the final boss, in particular, being seemingly bugged towards the end of the fight.
Party Hard 2 is a worthy continuation, take the good things from the first game and give it a twist. Some problems in its playability and rhythm can make us lose our cool sometime. The OST is wonderful and we will enjoy its electronic themes very much. If we are having a bad day and want to discharge adrenaline, this game is the best option.

Party Hard 2 isn't a bad game, but it's not for everyone.
I’ve got a laundry list of other minor complaints, like how dumb the “boss fights” are, but the randomness is my biggest issue. It turns what could be an interesting, thoughtful sort of puzzle game into a series of pulls on a slot machine. That’s not necessarily entirely bad, and you can get some fun out of it regardless, but it’s a mixed bag.
An evident leap forward from the already notable first chapter. Not every new feature works out well, and the boss fights are here to prove it, but Pinokl's game stands as an interesting and funny little stealth game.

Party Hard 2 builds on the formula of its predecessor to offer a brutal, sadistic, and very creative mass murder simulator. It may not feel all that new, but it’s got enough tricks up its sleeve to justify another couple 3 AM murder sprees
It won't be imprinted on your memories, but has the potential to entertain you for a few hours. You can definitely see the progress since the first game and be hopeful for future.

In conclusion, Party Hard 2 presents us with a very simple game in mechanics and very, very fun, that yes, it may come to frustrate us on more than one occasion, since it is very, very easy to die (the slightest mistake and goodbye ) and lose tooooodo what we have done having to start again from the beginning, but that is nothing that the first one didn't already have, right? ;) Lastly, the game has a local cooperative mode for two players, but I have not been able to test it since I have no real physical friends to play.

While it has its flaws, Party Hard 2 is ultimately an enjoyably challenging stealth game. It provides open environments that lets you solve problems your own way, and its over the top violence and dark humor easily crosses the line into ridiculousness.
There is a lot of brutality in the world and we do not like it. But game with party killer is entertaining... at first.

This strategy based game focused around diabolical murder in order to get some much needed sleep is absolutely wonderful. Different characters, levels, and so much in each level to explore! Definitely worth a look, especially if you need to relieve some stress from frustrating neighbours who maybe party too much.
If you’re a patient fan of puzzles and stealth, Party Hard 2 is an enjoyable experience with well-designed levels for you to master.
When the original Party Hard hit it was a shock to the system, an odd mix of puzzle game, crowd simulator, and virtual serial killer experience...
With simple and intuitive controls, Party Hard 2 proves to be a competent, honest sequence and, despite the gratuitous violence, a fun game for those who enjoy experiences that require a touch of strategy and creativity from the player.

Party Hard 2 is an engaging and great looking game. The transition from 2D to 2.5D has worked really well for this title and now there are a lot more environmental elements that play important roles in making this game better than its predecessor. Though, there are some issues that make the gamer enjoy it a little less, but the overall result deserves a try.
