Synopsis

The game takes place directly after 'Splosion Man. In the celebration of 'Splosion Man's capture the scientists accidentally create Ms. Splosion Man. The gameplay draws most of its core elements from its predecessor, but adds new gameplay mechanics such as jump pads and riding on rails.

Gameplay
This game is very similar to its predecessor where you have to use the ability to explode (jump) to get through various levels, solve puzzles and defeat the enemies. With Ms. Splosion Man however they have added in a number of new features that make this game even better than before. Such as rails in which the new character can travel on and the addition of a new weapon in the cannon. The new locations and features added to the already brilliant Splosion Man make this game fun and addicting to play. They have also added a new game mode which allows you to simultaneously control both Splosion Man and Ms. Splosion Man which is also very good.

Multiplayer
They have added more co-op levels again that require two people working together to complete. This is the best way to experience the game as the levels are fantastic and the gameplay is just as great but you have the added humour of playing with a friend. It's a great laugh to play and you will have some funny moments playing with friends I can guarantee it. The co-op leves are exclusive and are not the same as the single player, this is really good as it gives you lots more content and bosses to fight. The use of co-operation to solve the puzzles and different challenges puts a new dynamic into the game. The multiplayer is where you will have the best time on this game as you can play with a friend/s and you will have a blast.

Graphics
The graphics are similar in style to its predecessor but they have improved the visuals again and made the colours look even bolder. The style and colour combo's on this game work really well together and I can honestly say it looks amazing for an arcade game. The textures work really well and it looks really vibrant when you splode. The enemies look even better on this game and the characters are really sharp. The lighting is excellent and is definitely an improvement on its predecessor everything looks a lot better now and the shadows are also improved. The graphics are really good in my opinion.

CONTROLS
The controls on this game are excellent and I have nothing but praise for them. Even the camera angles are fantastic which is sometimes a problem on these types of games. The response is rapid and the game just feels really smooth and nice to play. The button setup is really good to be honest and you don't feel like you need to stretch or put your hands in awkward positions to be able to do what you need to.
