Welcome back to Review Thursday, where I talk about a game I have recently finished. This week I am a little late (it is technically Friday when I am typing this) in posting. But regardless, I did finish a game this week. And that game is...
This game is so fun! I spent hours upon hours playing it. The concept of the game is simple: don't touch anything as you run through a seemingly never-ending laboratory with a stolen jetpack. Along the way, you can ride vehicles like a robotic dragon, a teleporter, and a motorcycle, just to name a few. Then at the end of your run, you can either risk your spin tokens earned throughout the run in a slot machine or cash them in for coins. Coins are also earned throughout the run, and are used to purchase clothing options, different jetpacks, gadgets to help you run through the lab, and other items. And you can even purchase more coins using real money. And then there are little missions you can complete to level up and earn coins; like going a set distance in a vehicle, or dodging a set amount of obstacles, or giving High-Fives to the scientists.
I don't really care for all of the extra things, but I did end up collecting them all. There is a PSN trophy called "All the Things" which is awarded for when you have purchased every item available. Other than that, I mainly stuck with the Insta-ball, and the Freezing gadgets to get some extra length to the run. Toward the end, I played just so I could finally get that last trophy. I will probably play it once in a while, but not for the length of time when I was trying to collect the trophies.
My favorite vehicle in the game was the Profit Bird. It looked nice, and I was able to control it the best among all of the vehicles. My least favorite was the Gravity Suit. I just could not get the hang of it. Overall, I give Jetpack Joyride...
Five Stars. It is very addictive and fun to play. The concept is simple and it is playable by people of all ages. Only one button is used throughout the actual play (the X button), so there are no tricky button combos to memorize. I really like this game, and I would recommend it to everyone.
Well, that's the end of this Review Thursday. Make sure to stop by on Saturday for the next SaturPLAY entry. And until then, may no Game Over screens be seen by your eyes!
