Review – Anomaly 2 (Kaboom Shark)

"Just when you thought there wasn’t any way a new video game genre could be created, along came Anomaly: Warzone Earth in 2011 to bring us “Tower Offense”. Essentially a Tower Defense game played from the opposite side, it cast you as the commander of a military convoy as you led them through dangerous pathways filled with immobile yet vicious alien towers. It was fresh, fun and clever.

Now 11 Bit Studios have released a sequel, creatively titled Anomaly 2. It heralds the addition of multiplayer, a first for the series, as well a brand new morphing feature that gives an already awesome concept a dash of Transformers. With virtually no competition in its newly formed genre, Anomaly 2 still has the advantage of uniqueness. In that case, is it an anomaly in a good way or a bad way? We’re about to find out."
