Waterslide 2SCORE: 75Yolanda found this app calledWaterslide 2. She asked me if Iwould review it. Since you arereading this review you can probablyfigure out what my answerwas. Players get to choose fromthree characters. There is a penguin,a man in swimming trunksonly, and a woman in a bikini.Start a level and you are on someof the most insane, intense, andcrazy waterslides ever imagined.In fact these would not fly in thereal world for so many safetyreasons. But this is a video game,and not the real world.I was surprised at firstto see Waterslide 2 was given a9+ rating from Apple. Initially Ionly knew about the penguin.When I saw the human charactersit made perfect sense. Playersspend part of their run lookingdown at thewoman’s chest.Yeah that wasnot exactlysubtle was it.There arethings (normallysome kind ofanimal that arein the way aswell. Slamminginto them is nota good thing.I foundthe music inWaterslide 2to be pleasant.Collectingpearls brings about a neat soundthat fits the theme of this watersliding game masterfully. Gettinginked or stunned is neverpleasant though. I did not findany offensivelanguage whileplaying Waterslide2.Thecontrols seemoff and on tome. Some levelsthey workedgreat. Others Ihad trouble doinglittle things,or would go flyingoff the edge.That would bean extremelypainful death ifyou know what I mean. Still theconcept of sliding down a waterslide is a good one that fits therealm of the apps nicely.The goal of Waterslide2 is to collect enough pearls toprogress to the next level. I neverreally understood how many Ineeded to attain to make the nextlevel. I did better or learned todeal with the frustration. I alsolearned to avoid various sea life.Especially if they get in my waytrying to go down a waterslide.Which makes me wonder whatthey were doing on the waterslidesin the first place.I believe there is a solidcore in Waterslide 2 that couldmake sequels much better forfamilies. Better attire choices forthe human characters is top of thelist. - PaulPublisher: FishLabsSystem: iPhone/iPod TouchRating: ‘9+’ - 9+{Infrequent/Mild Cartoon or FantasyViolence}Graphics: 67%Sounds: 82%Replay/Extras: 74%Gameplay: 76%Family Friendly Factor: 75%Family Friendly Gaming 39
