Game Description
Zool 2 is a adventure game where you (either Zool or Zooz) have to go through several levels of play and in each board you must collect 99% of the candy. You are fighting in the Nth Dimension where you must restore equilibrium and exile Mental Block and his cronies before they wipe imagination out of existence. Don't be fooled by the games description as this is a very challenging game for everyone involved! Zool 2 is a one or two player game.
Graphics
The graphics in the foreground are extremely impressive. Many of the objects are realistic looking and everything is colorful and impressive. The backround on the other hand is 1D and not too detailed, they could of used some work. All in all though, the great foregrounds outweight the lackluster backrounds giving this game good graphics.
Sound
The tunes are very upbeat and of good quality. I enjoyed the upbeat tunes immensely and it helped me to really enjoy this game! The effects are also of good quality as the sounds are very interesting (as is everything in this game)! This game certainly excels in this category.
Gameplay
Zool 2 plays quickly and pretty well. I found myself using the jump button quite often as it is quite sucessful as far as getting you through this game. No complaints as far as the gameplay except for theres a bit of slowdown. It is not bad and understandable considering the massive amount of objects that often occur on the screen at the same time. In all Zool 2 does fine in gameplay.
Overall
I really enjoyed this game. It consists of upbeat music, good graphics and good play control which obviously creates a good game. While some have said this game is too hard I found it too not be very difficult if you use the jump button often. If you enjoy adventure games I would look into this one, the overall package creates one of the better adventure game that are out!
