You're operating in a more coherent world, and one that maintains Ragdoll Blaster's immediacy as well as its one-more-go-ability. Now, I hasten to point out that this doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable. All iPhone games are more polished, but even taking that into account, Ragdoll Blaster 2 doesn't have that freshness. First impressionsĮqually, the whole App Store has moved on in the past ten months.
However, as much as I enjoy it I'm not sure it has the immediacy of the original. The game also feels much more solid, particularly in terms of the user interface, options, and integration with the Plus+ social gaming network, which is used for awards and leaderboards. The ragdolls even talk and moan as you fire them into boxes, bombs, springs, and wheels. There's more complexity in the gravity effects, teleporters, switches, and other various mechanical contraptions you have to deal with. It's better: at least in terms of general presentation, graphics and audio. The first thing to emphasise is Ragdoll Blaster 2 delivers everything you'd expect from a sequel. So can the cannon hit the target for a second time? Plenty of gunpowder Indeed, it could be said to have lit the fuse on an explosion of ragdoll games. To that extent, Ragdoll Blaster was the right game at the right time. And it all worked brilliantly, with over a hundred levels released and many millions of games downloaded. Your prescribed goal was to use as few ragdolls as possible to hit each target, but really your goal was to have some fairly mindless fun. In May 2009, the original Ragdoll Blaster came out - a great, sketchy, hand drawn game in which you controlled the movement of a cannon to fire ragdoll figures at a target, within increasingly complex physically-modelled worlds.

Overall, this is looking to be a winner, so keep your eyes out for our full review when it comes out, hopefully in early March.but for now, check out all the screenshots at the end of the article.It's amazing how long ten months has been in the maturing iPhone games market. Is there much more you can ask for from this sequel? Well, maybe - if we could dress up the super cute new ragdolls like we can in Little Big Planet, that would be coll - but that is about it (that also might be asking for a huge lawsuit, so let's not get our hopes up :) ) And, wait a minute, is that level really a claw machine you have to extract the target from before you can even shoot a ragdoll at it? Yep, it appears that is exactly what it is.īackflip has also added in Plus+ functionality for online leaderboards and achievements. Is the puzzle design of RB2 as good as the original Ragdoll Blaster? Oh, yeah!įrom simple accuracy based puzzles to complex multi-ragdoll based monstrosities, Backflip created a wide variety of new levels, including an homage to one of their other top selling games, Paper Toss. Once you get past the tutorial levels, you move into the appropriately named Awesome Room. Did I mention the teleporters? Now you're playing with Portals! Gravity wells, ice floors, bombs - these are just a few of the new things you'll have to contend with.
Though it has nearly the same gameplay as the original, Ragdoll Blaster 2 feels like an entirely new game thanks to a complete rehaul of the visual style, an original audio score, and tons of new elements to fling your ragdoll, over, under, around and through. In the next few weeks, Backflip Studios is set to release the follow-up to its extremely popular game, Ragdoll Blaster.
