Natural Threat 2

In Brief

Natural Threat 2 is another Hidden Object game and is the sequel to Ominous Shores which we were given two weeks ago. :)

Installation:

Natural Threat 2 downloads to a 631 MB zip file that unzips to three files, (a setup.gcd security wrapper, the set-up file and a read me). Those with multiple hard drives can save games on any drive they wish. The newly installed game is 789 MB in size. The game installs to the following path by default, but can be changed by the user if you prefer:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MyPlayCity.com\Natural Threat 2

Four shortcuts are installed to the desktop; three of which can be safely deleted (Play Online Games, MyPlayCity Games and shortcuts to a free online game which vary each week). Also, if you don't like icons installed to the quick launch task bar, make sure you uncheck the box when the additional tasks window appears (after the Select Start Menu Folder window)

The Game:

Calling Natural Threat 2 a sequel, the story in this game has nothing to do with the first game. The only reason we can see that this serves as a sequel is that both games have the same theme of mutated plants try to conquer the city, in fact, the story in this sequel is very similar to the first game. It is so similar that sometimes it feels like the developer just use the same story but sets in a new city with new characters.

With that being said, Natural Threat 2 is quite a hooking game. The story starts out very well with an intense cutscene and then it gets more exciting. You will stumble upon many notepads as well as posters and journal pages so there is a lot of reading to take; anyway, if you are not too keen of reading, you will not be disconnected from the story.

From the graphics point, Natural Threat 2 has an awesome, epic graphics. The artwork is brilliant, and the scenes are crystal clear; all the animations are done well, and many locations are very beautiful to look at. However, some might say that Natural Threat 2 is kind of a disturbing game which is true. Many visuals are not very pleasant to look at; like plants eating humans or little girl being wrapped around by plants, that’s really gro=ss. As for the audio, the music is Natural Threat 2 is okay, nothing to be praised about and the voice overs are great.

What the developer failed to deliver is a challenging game because Natural Threat 2 feels like a beginner Hidden Object game. There is no map in the game which is not a major deal since the game is very linear. Most of the items you pick up will be used almost immediately and it is very easy to figure out all the tasks and interactions. The Hidden Object scenes comes in only one type which is the standard list one unlike its predecessor which has a variety of HO scenes. The puzzles are nothing original and they are not very difficult either; many of them feel out of place and not really related to the theme of the game.

Problems getting the game to work:

If you're having problems installing or activating or getting today’s game to work please visit the FAQ's Thread HERE and read through the communities comments because sometimes fixes have already been posted, for example, a common issue seen since the Themida wrapper was introduced three years ago is that some community members installation of the game are blocked by their security because Themida code has been known to hide malware, (usually an error message is flagged for example 'The executable is corrupted' even though in reality it is not); so as a precaution some anti malware programs will block and even delete the suspect installation files even though the files (i.e. the setup, read me and setup.gcd files are actually totally free from malware. This issue can be solved either by rebooting your computer in safe mode with networking or a quicker method is to temporarily turn off your security software to allow the installation. You could also try whitelisting the setup.gcd file. In the almost 11 years this game giveaway site has been operating there has 'never' been a game given away that was infected with malware.
