Strong Badia the Free

sbcg4ap102_bigflagStrong Bad is back with his 2nd game for attractive people. Episode two fixes a lot of the flaws of previous game.

 

 


This time the King of Town has gone a bit off his rocker and started taxing the good people unfairly. Free Country USA become fractured and all it’s citizens split off and form their own nations. Only under Strong Bad’s boxing glove encased hand can he reunite the people and stop the King’s evil doing.  sbcg4ap102_kingpoopsmith

Story and writing are much better paced this time through. After completing major story points you get a newsreel style cinematic that give  a lot of flavor and helps guide you to the next objective.  Dialogue and voice acting is still spot on and that game is full of laugh out loud moments.

I liked the first episode in Telltale Game’s Strong Bad series. It wasn’t with out its problems, but it was still a fun little jaunt. Fundamentally the game play is still the same. And that’s just fine. The solutions to the puzzles have been simplified a bit and seem to make more sense now. It’s a welcome change cause the issue i had with the first game was getting stuck and having to use a random item to solved to problem after trying everything else i had.

I really like the direction the series is going in. The team seems to have hit their stride and i can’t wait to see what kind of crazy they spit out next.
