In a welcome surprise, many of these these enemies will turn and chase you down if you get too close – a needed improvement over their oblivious marches in the first game. (It’s a pity that they’re merely gargantuan versions of the foot soldiers instead of distinct monsters.) Even placed intelligently, the limit of 10 towers usually can’t handle the hordes alone, which keeps the pace fast and desperate. The varied cast of creatures come in relatively small numbers to counterbalance their increased hit points, and ever so often are accompanied by hulking bosses that smash through towers as though they were rotting Lincoln Logs. The waves of alien enemies are tougher, too. Each level feels markedly different, both in look and design, and in most cases they don’t overstay their welcome. Some of these maps do away with the research facilities almost entirely, and the battles unfold before refreshingly natural surroundings or rusty train yards. Sanctum 2’s colorful but sometimes confusing graphic novel-style story panels lead us through a lush, vibrant world spread across 15 maps. And, as an interesting piece of History, BOTH Paul McGrath AND Ted Osborne were each featured in at least one "Charlie Chan" Film with Sydney Toler.As before, your task is to erect a maze of walls and turrets to keep the enemies from the your power cores for as long as possible, but the most immediately noticeable improvement is that this is a far more beautiful and varied game.
PS: "Raymond" in these later years of "Inner Sanctum" is Paul McGrath.
Want the full effect of "Death Of A Doll", or just about ANY "Inner Sanctum" Show ? Listen to them at night, in a darkend room, concentrate on the story, the actors, the sound effects, the organ "stabs" (By Organist Rosa Rio).and of course "Raymond" and that there SQUEEKING DOOR ! You see "Inner Sanctum" was as much about atmosphere as it was about acting ! I first heard the show many years ago.and was haunted by its storyline so much that I tried to find an authentic reference to "Karanana" as used in the plot. One of my Personal Favorites is available here: "DEATH OF A DOLL" starring Mason Adams (One of the all-time best Radio/TV/Movie Performers), Ted Osborne, and, Santos Ortega (Another of OTR's most versitle Actor's).
The "Inner Sanctum" Series was one of Golden Age Radio's longest-running and ULTIMATE BEST Mystery Programs.
