Review of Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within by notanumber

I’m so glad I bought both Jack Keanes on sale through Steam, because after playing the miserable first installment, I would never have gotten the second, missing out on a fun little adventure that had me laughing most of the time. Yes, the controls are a little bit awkward, but once I found the method that worked the best for me, I quickly got used to them. The graphics are beautiful, if you like the cartoony look, and there are a variety of locations. The puzzles were pretty good, not too difficult, and fun to work out. Voice acting is okay - funny though, Lani Minella didn’t voice Amanda in my version, like the review here states, but that was okay by me, since Nancy Drew’s voice is kind of iconic and that really bothered me in the first game. Recommended!
