Good but not great
This was a very fun game to play, it flowed well and had a lot of different charachters to enjoy plating with. However there were some issues that make this game, as of right now, not worth 10$.
Upsides: great graphics, flowed well, and had a decent story line. Lots of improvement over the first one! One of my chief irritations with the first rolando was that no matter how much you tilted, charachters never managed to go very fast. In this one,though, they made the charachters have a lot of ability to vary speeds and I commend them on that. The 3d graphics are very cool and well done, and the gameplay is similiar to the last one in which you can pick it up, figure it out quickly, and finish a level here and there without having to be totally focused on the game at all times. Vehicles in the game are a good addition, and you can do a lot more such as destroy the enemies in different ways.
Downsides: worst part: very short. If you spend any real amount of time in this game you'll be finished in around 3 or 4 days. Unfourtanetly there's little replay value because to be honest, at least for me, going and collecting little crystal things to get "achievement medals" is not that entertaininig. Another issue is the "boss" fight.
In short; it's pathetic. All you do is shoot two arrows and a bomb and it's dead. It took me around 2 minutes, and it lefte feeling disappointed.
Future update ideas:
Level packs
Rolandos collaboritive creators have been posting claims all over the Internet that bonus level packs are coming to this game just like the last one. I'm still waiting on those, but hopefully that means it's a big update.
More depth!
Some levels take like 15 seconds! Hopefully in future level packs it's not the same case.
Create a charachter.
This is something that wouldake the game have some replay value, perhaps you could include this option if you get all achievement levels or something?
Possibly bring back the old charachters.
It would be cool to be able to play the retro charachters from the first game, even if it's only in the bonus levels (which will hopefully come in an update)
Overall very cool game, but I recommend waiting either for a price drop or update.
3/5
Finally!!!
After a day of waiting for this game, it's finally here! Rolando 2 rolls into itunes with style, with the most anticipated iphone game ever. Ngmoco has put their heart and soul into a game that should please everyone. Rolando was one of the best if not the best iphone game of all time and this sequel sets out to build upon that success. With 45 levels you definately get what you pay for. This is a very fun game and should be bought by all iphone users!
iPhone's Mario, Sonic
ngmoco has emerged as the leader in iPhone gaming and for good reason. Rolando 2 is a brilliant game- not a brilliant iPhone game, not a brilliant mobile game, but a brilliant game period. ngmoco has managed truly and fully to bring the platform genre to iPhone without sacrificing a thing; hilarious characters, killer gameplay, beautiful 3D graphics, and a golden soundtrack make this sequel to last year's Rolando an improvement in every way (and that's saying a lot). I challenge those who call this a knock off of LocoRoco to play the game to see how totally unique it is, unlike the aforementioned game in every way (though the original Rolando did admittedly have a similar look). To those who say that iPhone gaming is little more than a fad, I present this game as Exhibit A to the contrary. Rolando 2 proves iPhone's relevancy as a game platform, justifying the hype and showing what can be done on this device. What Mario and Sonic were to the NES and Genesis, respectively, the Rolando series is to iPhone. Nintendo and Sony- you'd better be scared.
