Rick Dangerous 2

Rick Dangerous 2 continues the adventures of the fearless explorer with larger levels, new environments, and even more inventive ways to make the player regret moving too quickly. Rick travels through a variety of dangerous locations, confronting enemies and navigating traps that demand careful timing. The sequel keeps the tight platforming mechanics of the original while expanding the variety of situations and hazards. Rick remains armed with his trusty weapons and an impressive willingness to walk directly into places covered in warning signs. The game has a wonderfully cartoonish style that balances its notoriously unforgiving difficulty. Rick Dangerous 2 rewards memorization and persistence, making each successful section feel like a genuine accomplishment. It is the sort of game where dying twenty times in the same place is not failure; it is apparently part of the archaeological research.
