Schlag den Raab: Das 2. Spiel brings the spirit of the popular German TV game show to the PC, challenging players to beat Stefan Raab in a wide variety of contests.

Schlag den Raab: Das 2. Spiel brings the spirit of the popular German TV game show to the PC, challenging players to beat Stefan Raab in a wide variety of contests. Developed by Sproing Interactive Media and published in 2011 by bitComposer Games and ak tronic Software & Services, this Windows simulation title significantly expands upon its predecessor, offering more questions, more challenges, and a structure that even more closely mirrors the actual TV program.
The main objective is to defeat Raab across a series of rounds that alternate between tests of general knowledge, mental agility, precision, and physical skill. Matches can span up to 15 rounds, with a progressive scoring system: the first round awards one point, the second two, and so on. This progression means that every mistake carries more weight as the match unfolds, allowing for potential comebacks in the final stages. The competition can also end before the final round if the opponent no longer has a mathematical chance of catching up to the current score.
The game features around 25 mini-games and over 5,000 questions, offering plenty of variety for a title based on short, quick-fire rounds. The challenges aren't limited to the studio set; some take place outdoors and involve physical or visual tasks, while others focus on answering correctly under pressure, performing calculations, recalling information, or estimating quantities. The result is a varied—if somewhat uneven—collection designed to capture the mix of tension, humor, and constantly shifting pacing found on the TV show.
The Show mode offers the most complete experience, pitting the player directly against Stefan Raab in a progressive competition. For those who prefer to practice or replay specific challenges, there is a dedicated practice mode that helps players familiarize themselves with the rules of each game. The major new feature in this installment is the team mode, which allows up to eight participants to play, divided into two groups. Representatives from both teams take part in each challenge, making the experience an ideal choice for festive gatherings and game nights. The presentation features hundreds of comments from Stefan Raab, along with the voices of Steven Gätjen and Elton. Combining trivia, skill-based mini-games, and cooperative competition, Schlag den Raab: Das 2. Spiel serves as a straightforward, accessible TV-style adaptation designed for both solo play against the AI and lively multiplayer sessions on PC.
