Worthplaying has just posted their impressions on the soon to be released Syberia II, focusing on such aspects as puzzles and the musical soundtrack:

"Syberia 2's musical score is amazing to say the least. Dramatic and somber strings will tear at your soul as you explore the snowy world of Syberia 2. Character sound effects are also very well done, from footsteps to the sound of running water and the wind swirling around you. Unfortunately, the voice acting is not quite up to the level of the game's music and sound effects are. The actors aren't the problem per say, I feel it's the accents that seem somewhat forced. Maybe it's a lack of emotion at times too, but Kate seems to drone out some of her lines while one of the Ivan brothers sounds like he has a Cockney accent rather than a Russian one. Some grammar problems also rear their ugly heads but that's to be expected when a game is translated to English and is forgivable when such errors are few and far between."

Syberia II is Benoit Sokal's highly anticipated adventure sequel to Syberia and will be released this month.
