Come on - you may have thought I was an idiot with those previous examples, but that's gold dust. A favourite? You fight a walrus who can make Lex bleed with his, "Goo-goo-cut-you" attack. The sheer volume of these puns is mind-boggling. But each is given two or three of these with punning names. These boil down to the same thing - harm Lex, make him burn, lock tiles, etc. Not only do they all have their own gags, and comedy descriptions, but each has his own unique collection of attacks. Book 2 is perhaps a little too sensible in places, themed around Chinese literature and mythology, but Book 3's all-out insanity is a real pleasure. I really am amazing.Īnd it only gets sillier. The moon, in the early fairytale section, is described like this: Back up to my familiar 12. Meet the White Bone Spirit - a really quite menacing flying dragon skellington - and he greets you with, "Hello, I'll be your White Bone Spirit for this evening." An evil robot named Bezerkoid declares, "Biology is disgusting!" Encountering the moon (seriously, I bloody love this game), he sings, "When the Moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's AMORE!" Meanwhile, every character has their own description. Every new enemy (I estimate there are around 150 of them) has unique paper-doll animations, its own unique death animation, and a collection of hilarious lines to deliver.
The humour is endlessly and effortlessly brilliant. While the new ingredients above aren't breathtaking in the changes they make, the reason for buying a whole new Bookworm game (rather than simply replaying the original - the grids are random, it is in effect infinitely replayable) is to experience the abundance of joy that comes with it. Peggle Nights really didn't feel like anything new at all, remarkably only adding a new character at the very end, and Bejeweled Twist seemed like a backward step from the perfect original.īookworm Adventure 2 breaks this habit beautifully. However, PopCap has perhaps had a little trouble with sequels in the past. It's taking a solid idea and infusing it with astonishing charm.
Peggle, a fantastic format for fun, is so much better because of the characters, wit and sound effects.
Those familiar with PopCap games may sensibly have high expectations.
