While some of the charm of Pixeljunk Shooter 2 is lost because it recycles a lot of the same mechanics as the first, it’s still a damn fine arcade shooter. Enough new mechanics are tossed in on top of the old to keep it from feeling like Pixeljunk Shooter 1.5, and at $9.99, I think it’s a title fans and newcomers alike should pick up.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more.
Jake from PC Gaming Enthusiast reviews the former PlayStation exclusive.
He writes:
"The ultimate edition received a major overhaul, which includes graphics. The overall artist effort truly shines on the PC. The water in each level looks like it is actually flowing, with perfectly precise physics, and subtle depth."
It’s pretty common for the “older” generations to be dissatisfied with how times have changed and to be nostalgic for “back in the day”. I try not to think of myself as old, or dissatisfied, for that matter, with what today’s gaming industry has to offer… but I can’t help but feel like somewhere along the way, we damaged what used to be such a pure form of entertainment.
I agree SaveFerris! I still feel very privileged that I was growing up in that time and I got to experience it all first hand. It was a magical time.
Yeah, back in the 90s every video game was like a little wonder to me, those were good times to be a kid. I still have my Famicom, SNES and Genesis and play them time to time using flash cartridges, cuz I don't have any games left. xD
I loved PJ: Shooter, this one is looking like even more awesome. Can't wait to play it, PJ is a great series of games that unfortunately gets way overshadowed.
I like the music in the game.
Shooter 2 is So mine today! yay! good review btw :)
This game will rock hard!
*waits for store to update*
