Critic Reviews for Knack 2
Knack 2 is lacking in a number of areas, but its strengths outweigh its weaknesses. The pacing is spot-on, the combat satisfying and the gameplay varied. Co-op is genuinely good fun too, and most definitely the best way for younger gamers to get into the action. Knack 2 is definitely a step up from the original, then, but until the writing and characterisation improve drastically, it's not going to be a true first party titan.
Knack 2 is an improvement on the original game across the board with a better balance between brawling and platforming, though it's not without its flaws.
Improvements abound, but Knack's adventures still suffer from a lack of charm.
On a technical level this is clearly a better game than its infamous predecessor, but it's still nowhere near as fun as it should be thanks to its bland design and characters.
An experience that feels thin and repetitive in spite of its length and new additions, Knack 2 feels like a palette cleanser rather than a main course.
Still the same Knack gameplay at its core, but now with greatly needed variety
Knack returns in a surprisingly fun sequel that makes great use of its shape-shifting hero.
