What’s It About?

Cordy navigates a series of environments, jumping, racing, and swinging to progress, while dodging enemies. He can also fast-travel through circuits by \"plugging\" into them -- and walk on walls and get speed boosts with the help of a magnet ally. Buttons on the bottom left of the screen control his direction, while others on the bottom right side are used to jump, plug in, and get speed boosts. Along the way, he must look for \"zaps,\" which give him more power.

Is It Any Good?

Kids say (3):

As a platformer, Cordy 2 is nearly as good as its predecessor -- which is a pretty high bar. It's a bit more difficult in spots, though, which could frustrate younger players. And the try-then-buy model will still come as a surprise to many people (though four levels should be enough to let you know if you'll like the game enough to feel the price is fair). The customizing options remain a waste of player money.

Like the Sonic games, Cordy 2 is largely about navigating strange lands and collecting gears and zaps (rather than Sonic's rings). The graphics are bright and lively. The soundtrack is catchy. And the game's pacing is terrific. It's a great option for anyone who loves platform games.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
