Grindy Repetitive Goodness. Beat it on day 36, but I must say, the game was quite boring. It's a time passer for sure, didn't have to think about what I was doing, there aren't any repercussions if I mess up, and that's a problem. I didn't enjoy playing it, I just tolerated it.
Reviews for "Earn To Die 2012: Part 2"
There really isn't anything too new or interesting with this so-called sequel to a genuinely enjoyable time-waster. That is, there isn't anything too new that's good. although, i can understand some of the developer's reasoning behind the "improvements." I'm a man of narrow focus that only likes to progress in a game when i feel good and ready to, so restricting the newer vehicles within the game to being unlocked solely through level completion works out in my favor. I also like to never be reminded of my past time investments, so making it impossible to switch back to my previous vehicles really helps me to focus on my current wasted time. The repetitive background also helps to keep me focused on what i'm doing in the foreground, as a unique design scheme would make me utterly unable to concentrate. However, as i have an absurd affinity for largely indestructible boxes, my favorite feature of this game lies in the extraordinary surplus of crates littered throughout the levels.
Well made, clean graphics, perfected upgrade system- the down side is that I don't think ability has anything to do with the game.
For instance, you literally just pass level after level that requires no skill, upgrade in which ever order as you please, as it makes no difference to the outcome and you will need them all (almost) to win the level in any case.
Bit of a 'grind' with no way to make it your own.
I thought it was good. Everything was very clean and well done. The music got a bit repetitive, maybe adding new songs to each level and a completely different song for the title screen would help. Sound effects were ok. The reason I am giving this game two stars is because there was no challenge, or skill involved with this game. You can pretty much just use the up key and the back key and win the whole game. This game requires grind and skill means nothing. Sure, it's cool to watch a semi crash into things and jump around, but that only goes so far.
