Reviews for "Berzerk Ball 2"
Remeber everyone: we don't violence, and no Geeks were hurt in the making of this game, except Lachhh, but He's a programmer, he knows the rules.
+Sweet Graphics
+Sweet special effects animations
+ smooth running game
+ nice soundtrack \m/
+ simple controls
- simple controls
- too much luck involved
I played similar games like this one before (i.e. Toss the Turtle and Burrito Bison) and all of them got a certain amount of luck in it. Compared to "Toss the Turtle", there is no way to control the flying nerd (lean back or forth), except the bully, who hits the flying nerd with two different moves, depending on the height of the target.
But in this game you have to choose the right upgrades to succeed, where other games simply need max. stats and max. tools to beat the game (at a certain point those games don't demand much effort anymore).
Overall the game is a quite entertaining time killer.
Personally, I'd like to see shorter levels, but more of them.
I like travelling through different landscapes. :3
If some people are still frustrated and blame the game;
here is a suggestion to beat the game (reach 500k distance)
>All team mates are on maximum level.
Character:
>Bed (max. level = +5 Iron Man)
Equip:
>Stout Metalhead Axe Warning (233 Weapon Power/+7 Creep Magnet/+3 Crazy Collector)
...or something similar like that.
>Fine 8-Ball Warning (+6 Hairy Knuckles/+8 Creep Magnet/+3 Party Animal)
>Stout Poo Stamp Warning (+7 Rebound Master/+6 Creep Magnet/+4 Greasy Stuntman)
...or something similar like that.
Skills: (30) points to spend
>Hairy Knuckles (5) +6
>Creep Magnet (5) +15
>Bruiser (3) +2
>Iron Man (5) >> green 10
>Party Animal (2) +3
>Like a Boss (0)
>Rebound Master (5) +7
>Crazy Collector (0) +3
>Greasy Stuntman (5) +4
Try to get as much "challenges" as possible and finish them with gold to unlock team mates for the battle field.
This way there should be many creeps, due to Creep Magnet. Your nerd doesn't lose speed so fast and gains much speed/jumps high by hitting creeps. The bully recovers faster and has decent strength. A decent amount of team mate vehicles/gadgets will show up.
The rest of the story is right timing and technique + luck (patience & time).
Good game, but there are some annoyances.
I didn't know that the team-mates needed to be unlocked in the mini-game, and then once I did, I only ave my memory to know which are actually unlocked.
Also, the slow-down is way too drastic, even with greasy stuntman way up. If you hit a bug, you go up, say, 20 in speed, but if you hit the ground you can go down 300 if you're going fast enough.
I would even be happy with a height-gauge in the main game, so that I can know when to do the hell-raiser.
And lastly, sometimes the gauges and ground disappear after I fail on the bomb team-mate assist.
Every time a Berzerker Game starts with the furious barbarian howling I feel like breaking something. :)
I'm a huge fan of their games and B.Ball II is not exception. Loads of fun, amazing visual and killer soundtrack. Every piece of design is badass and I'll still build myself a house shaped like an anvil. :)
Keep up, everyone!
