'''''Neighbours From Hell 2: On Vacation''''' ({{langx|de|Böse Nachbarn 2: Urlaub mit Hindernissen||Evil Neighbours 2: Vacation with Obstacles}}), known in the United States as '''''Neighbors from Hell: On Vacation''''', is a comedy [[Puzzle video game|puzzle]] [[strategy video game]] developed and published by [[JoWooD]] for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Android (operating system)|Android]] and [[iOS]]. It is the sequel to ''[[Neighbours from Hell]]''. It was released for Windows on February 20, 2004 in Europe and March 28, 2006 in the United States.

A remastered compilation of the first two games titled ''Neighbours Back from Hell'' was released on [[Nintendo Switch]], [[PlayStation 4]] and [[Xbox One]] in October 2020. It features increased framerate and HD visuals.

==Plot==
Mr. Rottweiler, tired of Woody's jokes, goes on holiday around the world with his mother. He didn't know however that he became a star of the next season of the self-titled reality show, which is another opportunity for Woody to make pranks. In the end, the ship they travel with collides with an iceberg and sinks, but Rottweiler rescues himself finding a lifeboat, sailing ashore with his mother and unknowingly with Woody.

==Gameplay==
In this sequel of the game ''Neighbours from Hell'', the player travels to various locations around the world, namely [[China]], [[India]], and [[Mexico]]. The game is slightly harder as a new character appeared, the Neighbour's Mom, who can also beat up Woody along with her son. The player character now has three lives instead of one, and if he is spotted by the Neighbour or his Mom, Woody will be kicked to another area and lose a life. There is also a character named Olga, the woman that the Neighbour is attracted to, and player can use various things to have Olga beat him up (such as breaking the chair Neighbour is standing to and being a Peeping Tom while Olga is having shower). Olga also has a child who is often picked on by the Neighbour and he is not harmful to the player. As the game progresses, the player unlocks various new locations.
