The game is very enjoyable with a unique atmosphere. Use some nice headphones.
It took me too long to get Sludge Life 2, but I couldn't've been more happy that I did get it. New island, new characters, new things to do. Almost everything that Sludge Life did, Sludge Life 2 does better. The new island is so much fun to explore. When I played at first, I thought it was just Ciggy City, only later to find there was the rest of the island to explore. It's THAT big. You can also see all the old products make a return, and even some new ones too. The colorful cast of characters gets even more colorful. Now there are more of the different races on the island, like the birds and the frog people. Not to mention as well the returning taggers, and even Big Mud who is a major part of this game's main story. Everyone is interesting to talk to, and the humor still holds up from the first game. The software and items got major upgrade as well. Gatomago, this game's "big game" that people talk about is actually pretty fun, and the Newbeak app gives you things and ideas of things to take photos of, and Big Mud gives you not 2, not 3, but 5 new songs to listen to. And the items are even better, most prominently the warper, which now lets you warp to any of the activated warp stations on the map so long as they are activated, JJs are very convenient and make map traversal that much better, and minilauncher makes getting to high places much easier. The biggest gripe I had with the game was actually the new taggers, not in their character, but in the lack of tags thereof, ESPECIALLY from Ovni and Peep, who hardly have anything, even compared to Dolo and Slug. It was nice to see the taggers from the old island, but I would've liked to see more of the new ones too. Overall, this game is a significant upgrade from the first one, and I highly encourage any fans of the first one to give this one a go.
