Joe Danger 2, in my view, is how a sequel should be. It is more polished and feels bigger than the original, but when you look at it there are fewer tracks than the first game. Even with this, there is more variety from snowy mountain-sides where you are chased by an avalanche, to a desert with lava pits.
The campaign is split into scenes. For example, you will have parts inspired by James Bond movies with similar music and plotlines. It does seem to lose focus as you progress. Collaborating these genres together and creating scenes focused on one movie series would have worked to their advantage here.
A strong point to note is that each scene now has unique goals. Being primarily focused on action movies, there are a few chase sequences where Joe has to survive getting attacked by numerous characters or to catch Team Nasty. You still have to collect stars but adding these new goals makes it easier to distinguish between tracks. Added to this is, once you have finished a level, you are given a percentage of how you have done against other players. This feature can be very delightful and traumatising at the same time as you may get “you were faster than 88% of players” in one level and 32% in another. This also gives the game more longevity as you keep going back to the levels to improve your score and your rank.
Not only do the tracks have variety, but so do the vehicles that Joe has. In the first game, all you had was the motorcycle but now you have access to skis, mine carts and jetpacks to name a few. It may seem like common sense in a trials type game but it vastly broadens the appeal of the campaign as it alters the way you play. Especially the jetpack which adds dimension and makes the game even more fun to play.
The game also has a mode called “Deleted Scenes.” These are basically stand-alone tracks that are dramatically harder than the campaigns. Since there are less levels in the campaign compared to the previous game, this also lengthens the game and adds more of a challenge. The game also has a level editor so that you can create your own tracks, share them with the world, and get other players to try out your track. The creation mode is good as it allows you to go into a test mode so that you can perfect your track before uploading it.
Overall the game is really fun and will have you playing levels over and over to get each objective complete and obtain that perfect score. There are a few minor gripes with the game but nothing that will keep you from playing it. I definitely recommend this game to all platform and trials game fans. With having a cartoonish style, it’s playable for all ages and, with all the added features, it will keep you playing beyond the main campaign.
To run the game you will not need a high spec computer. Here are the recommended specifications:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 Processor: Intel Core i5 or equivalent RAM: 4GB Graphics: Nividia Geforce GTX 660 with 1GB/equivalent or higher Hard drive: 2GB storage
