Deja Vu 2: Lost in Las Vegas

<i>Déjà Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas</i> is the sequel to Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True. This time you wake up in Las Vegas with great headache and realize that you are Ace Harding, who has to find $112,000 of recently murdered Chicago's racketeer Joey Siegel for his boss and Las Vegas' mobster Tony Malone. You have a choice to find money in one week or classical "or else". Just for formality you are watched by Malone's thug Stogie Martin.<p></p><p>During the investigation in Noir style you can collect and use items, talk to characters and make some decisions. The game has a multiple windows interface, which size and position you can change.

<p>This game is a direct sequel to the first game, but instead of losing our memory, we are set about to complete an impossible task "or else." The game gives you very little direction on how to proceed and lot of the game is trial and error. There are many, many dead ends in the game as well, so it important to be aware that you might not be able to complete the game at any given point if you don't have the correct inventory item. Speaking of inventory, the game uses a window system which seem nice, but turns into a mess when you start getting inventory items. The screen resolution doesn't work well with the amount of inventory in the game. I had to get several hints throughout the game because the objectives are very unclear. To me, the ending is a bit non-nonsensical as well, but I managed to get there with a little push from a few hints. There is also a time limit in the game that can leave you dead ended as well if you don't have enough time to complete all of your objectives. Luckily, if you know what to do, the game can be completed fairly quickly.</p>
