from Malone to Ventini. As in Deja Vu I, the gameplay has a final part where evidence collected during the game has to be planted in the right places. This part is among the trickiest in the game, since the significance of each tidbit can be hard to assess. The player must leave sufficient evidence of Daniel Ventini's treachery in Tony Malone's office and leave proper evidence of Tony Malone's "awareness" in Daniel Ventini's secret office, then he must leave Las Vegas to avoid being caught in the ensuing gang war. Reception Computer Gaming World, reviewing the Macintosh version, gave the game a negative review, saying, "Linear text games with "Guess The Commands" are right down on the bottom of my list of boring ways to waste time." An example pointed out in the review is that the command "operate - flashlight" wields the flashlight as a weapon, while "Flashlight - operate - flashlight" is needed to turn it on. Compute! was more positive, stating that Deja Vu had "a quality plot and a clever interface". Macworld reviewed the Macintosh version of Deja Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas, praising its standalone story to its predecessor, and state that Deja Vu II is not the perfect interactive game, but it is a superior effort. By keeping your wits about you, and not consulting the hint book too often, you should enjoy hours of solid fun and adventure". Macworld expresses that in some instances puzzles defy "ordinary logic, making the purchase of the $5 hint book virtually mandatory", and also criticizes the presence of copy protection.
