Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space
SCORE: 67
Every so often I get an email asking why we spend time reviewing older games. Some people think only the newest games need coverage. There are plenty of retro gamers out there. There are plenty of families who can not afford all of the newest, latest, and most expensive games and systems. Family Friendly Gaming Nation is a big tent with over three million under it. There are members of Family Friendly Gaming Nation who appreciate reviews of older games.
With that in mind I recently purchased Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space. The concept of time manipulation in a game always interested me. I have been aware of this franchise for some years now. It is a treat for me to play and review this home console title. The time concepts are one of the things that make Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space so unique.
Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space starts really good. We can design our cat characters - we get a team of them by the way. We then go through a tutorial explaining how to play the game. Then we get into the first level. It is at this point I realize time manipulation was just a gimmick. A gimmick to take an average platformer and hide the flaws.
Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space brags about providing multiple ways of doing things. That is true in some situations. But in others there is only way one the player can progress. Which sets on course to go one way. Traps the players in one path.
There is multiplayer in Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space. For those who team up or battle one another. The whole concept of battling others in Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space makes little to no sense to me. It feels like a tacked on mode to try and reach a different audience.
Enemies can
respawn in Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space. Which implies the level of
violence, and diminishes the level of exploration. There are some cool
and interesting secrets in this Xbox game. The whole cat people and pig
people is really strange.
