Lost Vikings 2
The forgotten sequelGenre: puzzle - platform
Publisher: Interplay
Year: 1997
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
This is a proper sequel. More of the same great gameplay with a few added abilities. Unfortunately, many of the new abilities are hard to use, like Erik's double jump and Balrog's grappling hook. The addition of three more playable characters who have different combinations of the abilities of the three main characters is fun.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Excellent level design, just like the original. Unfortunately, some of the moves require perfect execution which can be extremely difficult. If the controls were a bit better this would be near perfection. I prefer the simplicity of the original.
Theme Score: 5
Theme Notes:
Hilarious. The high-tech upgrades are a nice addition.
Art Style Score: 5
Art Style Notes:
Graphics are upgraded from the original but retain the low-key, minimal animation from the first game. Nice job.
Audio Score: 5
