The most interesting thing about Coffin Rock is how it shifts from Lazarus's search for the girl to the recent past where he's in the same area seeking out a party of Confederate raiders. You'll frequently black out after fighting ghosts in the woods and find yourself wearing the blue uniform and leading Union troops into the same woods. It's an eerie effect that works, yet becomes too predictable to ever become truly scary. But it is evocative of Ambrose Bierce's eerie Civil War Short Stories.
Where Coffin Rock falls apart a bit is in its interface. The view shifts as you wander around the beautiful maps, you can't control the camera, and sometimes it stops on an awkward view. This can be terminal when a ghost or wild dog appears and starts tearing at you. It also makes moving around the game a slow affair (even with the "always run" option on). Despite this, the game is extremely short and consists of far more exposition than actual play. Overall, the challenge is only slight and the ending is remarkably disappointing.
Horror games, particularly story-driven thoughtful horror games, are about as rare as can be on the PC. Coffin Rock is a triumph in that regard. It's also probably a must-have for any Blair Witch fanatic. It expands on the myth and tells the Coffin Rock story in a most interesting way. It may not scare you, and it may ultimately disappoint you, but it will get under your skin and entertain you until then. --Bob Andrews

Customer Reviews of Blair Witch Episode 2: Coffin Rock 1886
Not So Good Like the movie, not nearly as good as the first one. If you're in to puzzle solving more than killing and monsters, this is not the game for you. Volume II is easy, way to short (took me about a day to finish), not very scarry, and pretty predictable. I think there are more cinemagraphic sequences than actual playing! I played Volume I and absolutely loved it. After playing Volume II, I'm debating on whether or not to spend the money on Volume III. If you're really into the whole Blair Witch thing, it might be worth it. If you're looking for a good puzzle game, try something else.
It is a great game,but EXTREMELY SHORT!!!!
I think this is a really great game but i REALLY wish it was LONGER.when i first played it I could not stop playing.but the next day i beat it.i like that u can turn off the violence.& its pretty cool that u play 2 somewhat different roles.& also u dont even bring robin back 2 her grandmother.& the ending really stinks.But like i said before,a great game,great storyline,but its just 2 short.
A GAME THAT MISSES ON THE STORIES POTENTIAL
I have played all 3 volumes of blairwitch and find this game the most dissapointing of the three.the game is very short and easy and has no replay value.though it has its scary moments,its just another horror game on the block.the story had too much potential to even make it an all time hit but it seems the game was made in a real hurry and the result is for all of us to see.i would still suggest u buy it if u have already bought the other two episodes.just enjoy the game and dont expect too much out of it.
