Pandemonium 2
Enjoyable and exciting platformer
With a title like Pandemonium, you would expect a game of imagination and originality, and this really delivers the goods. Pandemonium 2 is a 2.5D-style platformer that is not only immense amounts of fun to play, it is also a rare example of a sequel that builds and improves upon its predecessor. The rather bizarre but good-humoured plot revolves around the Comet of Infinite Possibilities, a source of immense magical power, and which is craved by Sorceress Nikki, the evil Goon Queen Zorrscha and Fargus, a court jester with a peculiar obsession with fire. What all this translates into a fairly traditional platformer, with players leaping and bouncing their way through 19 levels of highly varied environments. Nikki and Fargus are both playable characters, each with their own unique abilities, like hurling fireballs or becoming invincible for a short time and with the story's ending changing according to the character selected. While nothing overly original, Pandemonium 2 is a great little platformer. Although the levels are linear, the are immensely challenging and are mostly a blast to play, with the addition of a controllable tank and robot mech adding to the appeal. The visuals are pretty impressive, with bold, vibrant graphics that just leap off the screen and with some superbly designed, and pretty innovative, levels. The characters are rather charmless and unlikeable, but this is a minor problem and for anyone who loves games like Earthworm Jim or Rayman Origins, Pandemonium 2 is a must play.
