I had great fun, and hours of it when I played the first version of this on the xBox. This one is even better. Just like with the GTA series of games, the naughtier you are the greater the response from the authorities. It was a bit of a shock the first time I upset the army to the point they ran away and brought in flying saucers and nasty things on the ground to deal with me.
I seemed to quickly progress to better levels of talent. Increasing my powers of PK and length of flight with my jetpack. Or at least I did once I discovered I could upgrade. Being a typical man I didn't read the instructions… I'm sure in the first game you were given the upgrades as you went through the game. The basic gameplay is the same, run around removing brains for dna, but sadly, no cows to torment. You start off in one city and perform different tasks to progress through the game and then onto the next city. I find it fun just to go on the rampage collecting as many brains as I can and then see how long i can survive. Make good use of the ‘stop time’ power when you get it. It is very useful when you are very low on life. Either just pause time to allow yourself to recover, or fly away to safety.
If you enjoyed the first game, then you'll love this version too. If you haven't played this game before, but fancy a ‘not so serious’ game, full of funny one liners, then you'll be happy to have bought this game.
