Pandemonium 2 game free download

Gameplay is also extended with secret and bonus levels that keep players constantly looking for more in each level of play. Last year's cult hit is back for a second run and it's as trippy as ever.

Pandemonium 2 has everything the original title had plus some. This is both good and bad. The first thing you will notice is that the lead character, Nikki, has done some serious maturing. Outfitted in a sports bra, spandex, and knee-high boots, she is ready to take on a world that looks to come directly from the minds of Pink Floyd.

Also, Fargus is back and has a new addiction to fire. Pick your hero and see if you can't trip your way through some serious psychedelic lands. The best way to describe this game is by calling it a platform game.

You have your traditional coin gathering, jumping on the bad guys' heads to kill them, moving from platform to platform, and facing off with bosses at the end of stages. I do hesitate to call it a platform game—it has all of the characteristics of a traditional platformer, but there is nothing traditional about this game. Let's cut to the chase: the best part about Pandemonium 2 is that it's original.

The first Pandemonium was original too, and this sequel plays a lot like the first game. I can still call this game original because, unlike most successful games, nobody has tried to copy the style.

I did not know what to expect next in this game, which is a welcome change from most games that are classified as platform games. It was very refreshing to play Pandemonium 2 as a character that was not some cheesy cartoon character. It does get old playing as a cutesy character. Nikki and Fargus are both humans and have distinct personalities and traits that set them apart from each other. Nikki is more athletic and can jump higher to reach upper platforms.

Fargus carries Sid, a quick-tongued head on the end of a stick. Fargus can throw Sid as a weapon and he always acts a boomerang and comes back to Fargus. So maybe this is no more believable than a crocodile or bandicoot running around, but at least these are people. Another thing I really liked about Pandemonium 2 were the huge levels and the incredible design. Each of the levels goes on for quite a long time and you will be challenged with different types of obstacles and gameplay throughout the same level.

For example, in one level, you could be sliding down a water slide, climbing ropes, and jumping from platform to platform. Another level has you hanging from bars, avoiding electrical currents, and fighting bad guys. And these are just the first two levels of the game. It gets even better as the game goes on.

Also, the farther you get, the more trippy things start to get. And the levels become more intense and fast paced. This game is not really hard, but it is challenging. Usually, the bad guys are easy to kill and are just minimal bumps in the road to the end of the level. The game is more challenging in that you have to maneuver through numerous obstacles and traps.

This is where the game also really starts to get fun. You might not have such reservations, in which case, like my brother, you'll probably find Pandemonium an enjoyable " experience.

But then he also likes Don Johnson, so read into that what you will. The Name Crystal Dynamics Probably won't ring any bells for most of you, seeing as how they haven't really done anything of significance on the PC since their excellent strategy game The Horde a couple of years ago.

Indeed, there'll be many a raised eyebrow in the PC gaming community at the news that the company's next PC title is Pandemonium, a game which has recently sold in considerable volumes on the PlayStation and is bound to bring cries of 'PlayStation conversion alert' from all corners. However, as Scott Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing at Crystal explains, these fears are entirely unfounded: "From the very beginning, we chose the PC as our main development environment.

Because of this, neither platform has had to suffer the familiar translation blues. We've spent plenty of time working on performance in order to allow the best gameplay on non-accelerated and slower PCs.

The game follows the exploits of Nikki and Fargus, and players decide at the beginning of a level which of the two they want to control. The characters have different skills Nikki for example can jump higher than Fargus and certain levels can be very difficult if you don't choose the right character for the job. All the usual secret areas and power-ups you'd expect to find in any platform game worth its salt are present in Pandemonium, but the game also features morphing characters which change from the form of a bulldozing rhino to a fire-breathing dragon, among other things, to spice up the action.

While the game is essentially a 2D platformer, Crystal have used their revolutionary Freestyle 3D Camera Technology to 'fool' the player into thinking the game is 3D by changing view perspectives to give the impression of a very large and open environment Scott is particularly proud of this: "Our goal from the very beginning was to take the known fun factor of a traditional action game and present it in a more cinematic and dramatic way.

The action is framed perfectly to centre the character as well as give the player the best view of oncoming gameplay.

To that end, we identified the camera perspective as the key to providing this enhanced experience. We also harnessed the skills of a cinematographer by training as a core designer on the team to ensure we got the desired effect.

You really do need to see this technology in action to fully appreciate it, but take it from me, it looks absolutely fantastic, especially if you've got a high-end accelerator card such as the 3Dfx or Apocalypse 3D, although Scott is keen to stress that Crystal haven't deserted gamers who have yet to purchase a 3D accelerator card: "Pandemonium will run fine on non-accelerated PCs, but we've spent a significant amount of time and effort tweaking the code to take full advantage of the 3Dfx chipset found in the higher performing accelerator cards.

Crystal Dynamics firmly believe that the role of accelerator technology will continue to grow dramatically and allow publishers to do more exciting 3D products on the PC. Of course, all action games, even platformers, have an accompanying plot to set the scene before the action begins. True to form, Pandemonium has a plot of its very own - but I'm not going to tell you what it is. Why not? Well, I'm keeping it to myself because Pandemonium's plot is so sugary-sweet and soppy that I'll feel like I'm reading a bedtime fairy-tale to a bunch of three year olds, and I'm not having any of that thank you very much.

To be fair, the plot isn't exactly vital to your overall enjoyment of this type of game, as Scott is quick to point out: "In Pandemonium, our focus was solely on gameplay and environment. We felt that players would appreciate this concentration of effort since the story is not a crucial element to the complete enjoyment of the game. We enjoyed creating the game's story, and felt that it was an important factor in conveying the look and personalities of Nikki, Fargus and Sid Sid is Fargus' puppet-on-a-stick , but tried not to place too much importance on it.

Although Pandemonium is looking pretty fab on the PC even at this early stage, there'll still be cynics who maintain that platform games simply don't sell in the PC format. I suppose there's an element of truth in this, seeing as how most publishers have stopped producing platform games completely.

I asked Scott why he thinks Pandemonium will repeat its PlayStation success on the PC: "I think PC gamers will want to experience Pandemonium; they'll see that it pushes the limits of the PC hardware with its rich 3D environments and very cool freestyle camera experience.

This hasn't been done on the PC before, and presents an opportunity for gamers to see something creative and unique. So what is the Scottmeister playing himself at the moment? Super Mario 64? Or perhaps he's found another platform title to satisfy his urge to bounce from one ledge to the next.

Surprisingly, the answer is no: "Masters Of Orion 2 is my favourite PC title at the moment, but our current direction has a completely different focus. Legacy Of Kain, which is almost at the opposite end of the gaming spectrum, is our next title. It's a gothic adventure game starring a reluctant and tortured hero: a vampire named Kain. You can expect other action and adventure products from Crystal Dynamics later in Master of Orion 2 , eh?

A man of taste indeed. We expect the PC version to be even better, so tune in next month for a full review of the game in all its 3Dfx glory, along with an in-depth preview of Legacy of Kain. On a recent sojourn to Crystal Dynamics.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out that Crystal had a new action game in the works. The editors were even more surprised when they offered to show us an extensive look. The game's called Pandemonium and it is just that. Pandemonium is a chaotic action side-scroller that combines the high speed of Sonic with the adventure of Mario. Pandemonium was still early, but it had enough preliminary game-play to give us an idea on how the final product would be.

Players control one of the two characters through a series of huge worlds. You'll find all sorts of classic platform pitfalls, like locked doors and trampolines. However, you rarely if at all find instant deaths. The programmers want you to run at top speed without having to worry about falling to your doom. That isn't to say that Pandemonium is easy--it's just not cheap. The worlds range from mushrooms to dungeons, with all sorts strange creatures roaming about.

Sometimes you'll have to actually use the enemies to get past certain sections of the game. There are many hours of fun to download here, and if you are tired of the more traditional platforms, it is clearly a good idea to embark on Pandemonium! The Unique at Pandemonium! The world draws on the beautiful carnival life and the mysterious magical world, where everything can happen, and where one has to be cautious about the consequences of his elections, as the smallest stone can set a whole landslide going.

The whole story and plot is what really makes the game come to life, and gives you the urge to push to reach The Wishing Engine, which almost stands as an unattainable point on the world's tip. But that is the point you are getting through cunning and hard work. YouFeel like a hero at last after all the dangerous roads you have walked to save the day.

One of the absolutely interesting is the game's design, where Pandemonium! The whole amazing world you are moving around in is 3D animated, but in the game itself, movement in 2D works.

The world is designed in classic polygons, which are not so pretty compared to modern standards. For the time being, however, this was a pretty beautiful game, and if you are more retro as the graphics in Crash Bandicoot, then it is absolutely perfect. The game's control is also easy and simple, and you are not forced to make complicated combinations to get the most out of the game.

You just move with W and S, and on your spacebar you jump. Have you been through Pandemonium! And not getting enough, there are a number of other retro games that you can embark on in your spare time, which also offers a lot of fun.
