Lemmings 2: The Tribes
More is moreGenre: puzzle - platform
Publisher: Psygnosis
Year: 1994
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Zero tutorial. You're thrown right into tough levels with a host of Lemming skills, most of which are new and seemingly useless. Diver? Archer? Kayaker? The helpful streamlined features from the SNES version are gone. No Select button to fast forward or quick switching between jobs using R and L. Instead you have to use the cursing for everything. Other changes include the pausing of the game when scrolling the screen. Jobs differ from level to level so it's hard to tell which one is which. Overall much less enjoyable than the previous game despite the controls be similar with even some improvements. The problem is the jobs which aren't as useful as those in the original game. Maybe it's just me but I got overwhelmed.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
These levels feel like DLC for hardcore fans of the original. I can't get past level 3. Uggh
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Cute Lemmings There's some fun levels with pop culture references like a level obviously patterned after Aliens.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Same art style as the original. Feels a bit more Amiga-like, with busy backgrounds. Very simple. Also far more grainy and less attractive than the SNES version.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Same silly stuff. Music isn't as memorable and the voices are positively obnoxious. You better enjoy hearing a high pitched "Yippee" 100 times per level.
Overall Score: 42
