The story of Space Quest II provides for fewer moments of cynical commentary that is so often associated with Space Quest titles, and instead plays like a real "space adventure," though it still has moments of pure, silly, slapstick humor. Yet most important of all, the game itself was a rather good one. At the time of its release, '''Vohaul's Revenge''' proved Space Quest to be a serious franchise of Sierra On-Line, capable of many variations on the same science-fiction theme.
