Reviews for "P.I.C.O. 2"

Good, but nowhere near great

It's a decent game, with the makings of a very good game, but it's so unbalanced that it's not very challenging, and so not very fun. The computer alternates between dropping missiles on your team with pinpoint precision from across the map and firing them into a mountain point-blank. There's also not any real sense of purpose: the initial rank goals seem sort of pointless when you can set up a game to guarantee a 1P win, and you're all but guaranteed to end up playing yourself for the 2P win. For an alternative mission structure, look at "Territories", a similar submission.
In general, the weapons seem overpowered: there's little reason to not use a missile when you can walk a few steps away and then blow a quarter of the screen up. The grenades seem sort of redundant: either tone down the missiles to require a near-direct hit, or replace one of them with a gun-type weapon.
Again, you've got everything you need for a great game, you just need to put it together differently.

This is a good review, and I agree with all of your points, the weapon terrain destruction and damage could definitely use some tweaking and the AI, as I've mentioned before, is not the strong point.

As for the 2P win, a guy can HOPE that internet users has friends can't he?

Can't he?!

:P

Crappy worms rip-off

not only was the computer far more powerful with precise accuracy, but the only weapons that worked were the missles, grenades, and bombs! everything else just froze up and wasted my turns! Not only has that game been done many times before, but it was far better on the others. Giving you a 4 is generous.

BoMToons responds:

Many times? Name one other flash worms game with destroyable terrain much less randomly generated.

That's what I thought.

not bad

i has many bugs i spent 3 turns wasting rockits on a target 2 feet away

Not bad

It has some bugs. Sometimes the comp will spend 5 turns shooting the wrong way into a wall or will try to borrow through a mountain to get to its target. Its also very frustrating that the comp rockets can take away 50% of your life when yours, on a direct hit to the head will only do 25% damage

Good game, but i had some freezing issues.

it tended to freeze on me after certain actions from the enemies. you should look into it. other than that, it's an amazing game once you get used to the system :).

BoMToons responds:

Send me a PM with the details of what the "certain actions" are and I'd be happy to look into them.
