    A lot of people say that the 1st one is better in my opinion the 2nd one is. Sure, nothing really changed just some few minor changes but this game has great gameplay and great mechanics.

    Vaya juego, me ha sorprendido, tiene personalizacion, excelente historia, tiene multijugador, esta jugabilidad no esta en otros juegos, el jefe final ha sido un desafio pero pudo haber sido un mejor final, igual muy bueno

    It feels more like a chore than a game. Go do this, collect that, move over there...

    Blinx 2 is more of the same. Not much is changed, but there are new features which spices up the old gameplay from the first. Things are different this time, instead of Blinx you play as a created character of your touch. Much of the same mechanics is carried over from the first, but you now access this levels via hub world. Now the graphics aren't strong or even pretty with this title.Blinx 2 is more of the same.

Much of the same mechanics is carried over from the first, but you now access this levels via hub world. Now the graphics aren't strong or even pretty with this title. Textures are really low-res and some of the smoke effects are just plain ugly. That said, the core gameplay still provides challenges with the manipulation of time and space. I will also mention that you can play as the pigs as well with more conventional weapons instead of time sweepers. The story isn't much of a focus with its extremely campy dialogue with lack of humor. Points to the multiplayer though, as it can be fun to play with a pal as you kit out your own team and customize to your liking. The multiplayer is where I had most fun as it is where the game had most flexibility. In the end, the only reason to purchase Blinx 2 is to reinvigorate some of the fun from the first game, and that's not too bad of an idea. Expand

    Not as much of a masterpiece as the first game. The puzzles drag on a bit and the level design can be a bit weird at times. I also wish there was an option for the Operator (or Robbie/whoever that pig on the Tom Tom side is) to stop talking, as he interrupts gameplay every 10 seconds to tell you what to do next. Still a masterpiece despite the issues.

  1. But to add some of the game elements that Artoon did such as oh, almost a whole second game with the Tom Tom Gang, and weaving it into the story, not to mention the 2 player co-op mode, does add make for nice improvements over the original game.
  2. Blinx 2 is on par with the original, but the fact is that there are better alternatives out there that don't muddy the platform fun with complicated game mechanics and dull level design. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]

    I'm also surprised at how well the audio came out here. The music, in particular, does a fantastic job at getting across the overall vibe of the area you're in, and/or, the side you"re playing on.
