Mm-hmm. That's what we amy barnett buchanan have here with Crystal Key 2. Confession Time Though it pains me to admit it, I sort of liked the original Crystal Key. It'll never rank among my favorites, but had I been the reviewer I would've probably given it the thumb up, amy barnett buchanan same as Orb. It was a B game that was fun to play. It was also, and continues to be, wildly (and unaccountably) successful in terms of sales. Hoping to birth and capitalize on a shiny new franchise, Dreamcatcher commissioned a followup. I don't know wherefrom the developer Kheops arose; most of the personnel in the closing credits are still listed under "Earthlight," developers of the original; I have a sneaking suspicion that Kheops is the landing place of some of now-defunct Cryo's ex-employees. The original Crystal Key held together a lot better—all of its parts were in the right place, there was sufficient clueage for the puzzles, and the graphics were nice, for their time, anyway.
