Gunman Clive 2

Ugly game controls like loose dog poop

I originally played this back on the 3DS, & like the first game, back then it still a fun little shooter game, now w achievements. If you like either western theme or classic 2D platformer games, you might like it as well!

For anyone about to call me names, just know that I have beaten this game and gotten the no deaths achievement on two other consoles with far less issue; I've earned the right to complain. This version has no way to X out before the game counts your loss, meaning if you want the achievement for no deaths, you have to do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Iron Man run. Here's my stance on why that sucks: it isn't about making it through the game with no deaths, it's about making it through the game without a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ save system. ♥♥♥♥ that ♥♥♥♥. Stop counting my deaths against me and let me f**king save. I can't make it through the harder levels in the latter half unless I can trial & error my way through that. The fact you see fit to punish the necessary trial & error is what earns you my hatred. Stop forcing me to have to erase my file and start over and let me f**king save. It's a platformer, not a 9-5 job, it should not require the same stress reserved for brain surgery.

While I do think Gunman Clive 2 is overall an improvement from the first game, it's not without its quirks. Gunman Clive 2 has a more grand adventure than the first game; while the first game was mostly a western setting minus the final world, this is more of a globe-trotting adventure, starting in the Wild West and then ending up in places like Russia, Australia, Japan, South America, China, etc. The variety in settings definitely allowed for more creative level design as well. There is also more of a variety of music in this game, and the music selection in this game is quite good. It plays just like the first game, retaining its solid platforming controls. Where this game ends up slacking a bit is in some of the extra characters you can play as. Gunman Clive plays great and Mrs. Johnson (like Clive but with a SMB2 Peach hover) plays good as well. The problem is with the other two playable characters. The final character (who I won't specify for spoiler sake) doesn't have it too bad, but the main gimmick of that mode is not being able to attack but having better mobility. Not being able to attack is a problem in vehicle stages and, while the better mobility is actually usually mo…

I really enjoyed my time with Gunman Clive 2!
