The Fancy Pants Adventure: World 2 Review
January 27, 2008
The Fancy Pants Adventure: World 2 is the sequel to the incredibly popular Fancy Pants Adventure (go figure). It features the fast paced action of classical games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros., complete with all the running, jumping, climbing and sliding you could ask for. The game starts out with a simple story that involves a golf trophy stolen by an evil rabbit, which the creator himself states is simply there so there’s a point to the game. Don’t let the paltry story fool you though, FPA2 features the best 2D Platforming experience since the glory days of the SNES and Genesis. The controls are simple: arrows to move, S to jump, space to pause. The levels consist of having to use different types of jumps with the environment in order to reach the next area, and progress towards the end. The environment has various elements that change game play and let you reach new areas, such as spring jumps, bumblebees and ropes. The game has a smooth pace, and it always seems as if there’s some new challenge every time you play a level: like when you realize that what you thought was a dead end can be used as a wall jump to reach different secrets. The game has a polished finish, but sometimes it can be tricky to navigate the levels, resulting in a bit of frustrating, albeit rewarding, backtracking. If you enjoy platforming games, then The Fancy Pants Adventure: World 2 is highly recommended.
