Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The audio design is a again pretty decent, although that flash audio crunch is still here and present however this time around it's a bit more poorly masked.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
As I mentioned in my Paradise review, you have to go through a couple of steps to get the codes right, but it's not too difficult and it truly feels like you're doing some proper detective work for once.
