Ragdoll Blaster 2

Ragdoll Blaster 2 – Think Little Planet meets target practice and you’re half way there!

For me, I was one of those who bought Little Planet without ever seeing it and only afterwards thought that the concept was good but the overall package stank (don’t do a PC’s job on a console – it’s never going to end well!) So for me, when I saw a ‘sack boy’ styled ragdoll and a canon I thought this could either be utter genius or utter rubbish – thankfully I found it to be not just amusing but brilliant too!

What you must do is try to use your ragdoll to hit the target - simple eh? Don’t be fooled! This game ranges from pretty tricky to utterly evil.

The skills you must master to play this game do rank similarly to those you would require to do some of the tricky and fiddly tasks in the Crystal Maze. Outsmarting the awkward so and so’s who’ve created a variety of tricky and absurd levels will test your logic and aim to the highest height. You have a seemingly endless number of ragdolls to fire, but they actually respawn after your sixth shot. This is helpful in some levels as you can clutter things up if your aim lets you down. The downside though however is that sometimes your ragdoll may be in the perfect place but will miss the target due to being respawned.

In truth I managed to lose track of just how many levels I played when going through this game, but the levels seemed to just keep coming as quick as I could complete the last level. Even if you are able to master each level you can certainly test your skills in terms of seeing if you can do the level again using less ragdolls in the process.

This game is totally genius and will keep you playing for hours and no doubt mess with your head in the process. I can’t recommend this game highly enough, it ticks all the right boxes and even adds a few more boxes to the list and ticks those too.

Positives

Really addictive

Warped and off the wall fun

The restart button is occasionally in the way and it doesn’t ask ‘are you sure?’

The skip next level button similarly doesn’t ask if you are sure

No tips to master a tricky level
