What did they do? |
Trine was a platformer with action/puzzle elements.
Trine 2 is an action/puzzle game with platform elements.
so, for instance, in the first game the theif could grabble onto any wooden surface in the game and when no surface was present the theif could grapple onto the wizards floating platform. it was fun as hell to "web sling" through the game and use your special abilities to access platforms and hidden areas that had collectables that leveled you up to get even better special abilities...
the wizards floating platform: gone completely.
wooden surfaces to grapple to: gone almost completely (expcet in select puzzle solving requirements).
item collection to level up special abilities: gone.
special abilities: many gone, remaining were nerfed
mana: gone (which i guess just goes along with the nerfing of your specials)
...basically they nerfed all of the elements of the gameplay they had in Trine in order to ensure certian puzzles had to be solved in the way they wanted you to solve the puzzle or to ensure they could add combat sequences you couldn't escape from.
...and then there are bad level design choices. in trine you could - if you wanted to - play though the entire game only making use of 1 of the 3 availble characters. no obstical was unsurpassable even if some were more efficient to with specific characters. in trine2 some parts were flat out impossble to pass with out a certain character. which means if you killed one of the three characters sometimes you'd have to back track to the previous check point to rez the appropriate character in order to progress.
seriously. everything about the game was a fucking mess. nintendo fans, i know i'm probably not your favorite poster but i'm being completly genuine here: don't waste your money on this PoS.
