Exit 2 is hitting XBLA this week, it was a late, but welcome announcement. It is available for 800 MS points.
Exit 2 has a problem. Released on the back of the original's console and handheld success, it's clear that the initial idea is beginning to burn itself out. As a sequel, this title serves as a perfect portion of extra helpings for diehard fans of the formula. For everyone else, Exit 2 shows itself to be a frustratingly sloppy addition that opts for a tastier visual feast rather than any new gameplay ideas.
GL writes: "Have you ever wanted to be a fireman, but didn't have the physical fortitude? What about trying out for the Police Squad, only to find out you didn't have the dexterity required? I have a dream job for you; become an "Escape Expert". You see, you don't have to be a weight-lifter or a sprinter to do be an escapologist (it just sounds fun, doesn't it?). Exit 2 puts you in the shoes of Mr. ESC, and charges you with various "situations" that require the rescuing of incompetent civilians."
Evolved Gaming's Cory Grimes writes, "Overall, I think this game is good on a person-to-person basis. Some people love this game, while I was mildly amused by it. It's a definite change from all the fast paced shooter games and people who seek something slow will love this. I recommend getting the demo and deciding for yourself."
XBL keeps getting showered with content. I'm gonna have to go on a download rampage. There's a ton of demos and arcade games that have been released lately which I haven't had time to try yet.
