Waterslide 2
SCORE: 75
Yolanda found this app called Waterslide 2. She asked me if I would review it. Since you are reading this review you can probably figure out what my answer was. Players get to choose from three characters. There is a penguin, a man in swimming trunks only, and a woman in a bikini. Start a level and you are on some of the most insane, intense, and crazy waterslides ever imagined. In fact these would not fly in the real world for so many safety reasons. But this is a video game, and not the real world.
I was surprised at first to see Waterslide 2 was given a 9+ rating from Apple. Initially I only knew about the penguin. When I saw the human characters it made perfect sense. Players spend part of their run looking down at the woman’s chest. Yeah that was not exactly subtle was it. There are things (normally some kind of animal) that are in the way as well. Slamming into them is not a good thing.
I found the music in Waterslide 2 to be pleasant. Collecting pearls brings about a neat sound that fits the theme of this water sliding game masterfully. Getting inked or stunned is never pleasant though. I did not find any offensive language while playing Waterslide 2.
The controls seem off and on to me. Some levels they worked great. Others I had trouble doing little things, or would go flying off the edge. That would be an extremely painful death if you know what I mean. Still the concept of sliding down a water slide is a good one that fits the realm of the apps nicely.
The goal of Waterslide 2 is to collect enough pearls to progress to the next level. I never really understood how many I needed to attain to make the next level. I did better or learned to deal with the frustration. I also learned to avoid various sea life. Especially if they get in my way trying to go down a waterslide. Which makes me wonder what they were doing on the waterslides in the first place.
I
believe there is a solid core in Waterslide 2 that could make sequels
much better for families. Better attire choices for the human characters
is top of the list.
