Another Random Game Friday, another Infectionator game? Yep, you got it!
This time it’s Infectionator 2, which is most probably the sequel to last weeks game, Infectionator World Dominator. So, did they improve upon it at all?
It’s immediately noticeable that this game is visually much more impressive. The sprites have faces, for a start, and there are a lot more variations of them. As you can see to the left there, the news lady is rendered a lot nicer. Everything has more personality, and the menu screens are a lot clearer.
The general gameplay is exactly the same as the previous game, but you certainly spend a longer portion of time at the start of this game feeling quite weak – this is because coins are worth less and are harder to come by, and the power-ups in the game are generally better balanced. Thing is though, as soon as you feel powerful, a new class of enemy comes along, and they tend to feel far too strong until you absent-mindedly amass a metric shit-tonne of coins by replaying levels over and over and can suddenly level up all your attributes five times. The special zombies are more fun in this one because they actually feel like they are doing more than just wandering around.
Hot Chase is still my favourite Infectionator game, but this is a cut above, and a more well-rounded videogame than World Dominator. Here’s the link again – http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/603478 – I promise that next week I will not play an Infectionator game…
