Let's Play Gunman Clive 2 05: Fitting the Bill
83We've traveled far and wide in pursuit of the machine that destroyed the town we happened to be walking through at the same time. Why a duck is so concerned about that we may never know, but one thing we do have are some questions that lack answers.
Is a different duck piloting that flying machine or is it us from the future? Are all the ducks in league in each other, a network of feathery evil which must be stopped? Is this happening before the events of both games or the same time? Perhaps these questions may never get answered but there's one thing we know for sure: Whatever the answer is, it'll make about as much sense as a cowboy trying to outrun a massive saw blade by riding a giant panda.
Gunman Clive 2 does everything that the first game did and improved it, delivering a better game then the first. The levels present new challenges and mechanics, as well as using things learned from the first game in new ways. The enemies and environments are far more varied, sometimes to the point of silliness but it's that silliness which gives the game its charm. The gameplay is challenging but not punishingly so, the unlimited lives meaning all you lose from failure is time. The new character provides an entirely different way of playing, forcing you approach fighting enemies differently. If there was one thing that I would change it's the games length as I wanted to keep playing after it ended. Perhaps a third game will be made at some point and when it does, I'll be sure to check it out. If you enjoyed the first game, I'd definitely recommend buying the second and giving it a try.
So what's next? We need to finish Command and Conquer but there's not much more of that. I have an idea for what to play though, something that's laid back and relaxing. Not all games have to be tests of skill and quick thinking after all; sometimes you simply want to escape from it all and wonder what it would be like if you were in more control of your destiny. This makes the game I'm thinking of sound far more epic then it is, or maybe it simply is that epic. One thing I can say is that when I first played it on release, it was an experience unlike any other before.
See you next Let's Play!
