It’s not only the best looking downloadable game I’ve ever seen, it’s arguably one of the best looking game of this generation. It may only be a downloadable 2D platformer/RPG hybrid, but Trine 2’s visuals are definitely competing above their weight class. Trine 2 is an unequivocal joy to look at. The Wonderful: Where to begin? The instant I sat down and fired up Trine 2, before my kids and I began our grand “adventure,” I was stunned by the sheer beauty of the game’s graphics and art design. So that’s what I’m going to do let’s get started. If you would be so kind as to allow me another flight of fancy, I can’t help but think it is only fitting to break the remainder of this review up into two sections: The Wonderful and The Infuriating. Why? I did it because Trine 2 for the Xbox 360 is simultaneously the most wonderful and most infuriating videogame I’ve ever played. Yes, I am the father in tale you just heard, and yes, I dumped my children into a bottomless pit and laughed at their demise. Having succeeded in his dark plot, he turned off his Xbox 360 and retired to his bedroom to hide, emerging only to relay his story… With a simple flick of the wrist, he rotated the box until the inevitable pull of gravity overcame friction and his two children, he’d previously done everything in his power to keep safe, fell to their deaths. When the clockwork box was as far away from solid ground as it could possibly be, he knew it was time. However, unknown to the clueless riders, another plan was afoot. Summoning all his concentration, their father moved them across the bottomless depths toward where he assumed must be more solid ground. They complied and soon found themselves floating.
Tapping into the arcane depths, he conjured a clockwork box and ordered his two young charges to get on it. The swap took place, and now the father was in control of forces so awesome, even gravity cowered before him. “Allow me access to your grand wizard powers dear daughter,” the man said. There was yelling, hitting, and name-calling, but soon the wisdom of the father prevailed. Tensions grew as each of the three adventurers argued the superiority of their own idea unfortunately the execution of a plan required a consensus and none could be found. Try as they might, they could not find the secret that would unlock the way. Eventually they came to a wide chasm that seemed uncrossable. However, as they pushed deeper into the strange and increasingly more alien world, the threats became more threatening, the dangers more dangerous, and the traps more, uh, trappy.
It was shaping up to be a glorious experience the kind of experience you remember forever. Despite the hardships they endured, and the threats they faced, he managed to keep them safe, for that is the one and only true job of a father. His bright daughter plumbed the arcane depths to support them with magic, and the youngest, the son, picked off enemies from afar with his bow. The devoted father led the way in his shining suit of armor, determined to protect his son and daughter from any and all danger. The ground was stained with the blood of every living creature who dared to threaten them. One by one, each obstacle was conquered in turn. There were traps, trolls, giant spiders, giant snails, man-eating plants, and gouts of flame. Along the way, they had many strange and dangerous encounters. Across many beautiful and strange landscapes, the trio ventured. There was no where and no why, only adventure. Once upon a time, a devoted father and his two children, his sweet son and daughter, embarked on an epic journey.
