Gunman Clive 2 Critic Reviews

Gunman Clive 2 is everything a fan of the original game could want: it improves on an already strong framework, without feeling like a rehash.

We recommend it as a must buy for fans of action platformers, especially those that enjoy retro nods and winks with their modern day experiences - this one's a straight shooter.

Gunman Clive 2 is a fantastic 2D platformer that improves upon the original in just about every single way.

It may be short, but it means that all the fat has been trimmed to produce an unmatched experience that can (and should) be enjoyed by every 3DS owner.

This is an awesome tribute to old-school action platformers, very, very cheap although quite short, but definitely worth your time and money.

The $2.99 pricepoint is the cherry on top of this delicious platforming dessert.

The value and quality for the price is tremendous, and if you've got an itch for some old-school platforming action with a unique aesthetic that's old-school in a whole other way, then we really cannot recommend this latest Clive adventure enough.

A fun, challenging, stylistically original and short (but not expensive) platform/action game. Well spent money.

Gunman Clive 2 has an undeniable old-school sensibility missing from the glut of new-age nostalgia-fueled independent titles.

This sequel surpasses expectations by going bigger and better than before. The gorgeously illustrated graphics, fun boss fights, and multiple gameplay types amount to a great new installment in the (hopefully) ever-growing franchise.

A message of love for the golden age of the 2D Action-Platformers: this is Gunman Clive 2, which with its well crafted level design, distinctive graphical appeal and low price, deserves to be played by a large part of the Nintendo 3DS audience.

Pure 8 and 16 bit fun. 25 levels plenty of platforming, action and surprises.

Gunman Clive 2 is a traditional sequel. As with its predecessor, the stages are short, but intense. The graphics uses more color, but the platforming has also changed properly. Traces of both Super Mario Galaxy and Uncharted are able to spot. With just a little more experimenting could Gunman Clive 2 have been an unforgettable gem.

Gunman Clive 2 is a very nice sequel to its predecessor. Gameplay is still fun and challenging and the extra characters really contribute to the overall game.

While it’s over sooner than you’d like, Gunman Clive 2 is a gorgeous little indie game regardless of if you’ve played the first title or not. The gorgeous level design and constant variety make this a short burst of challenging fun that every 3DS owner should own.

Gunman Clive 2 is full of good ideas and surprises, but it can often feel a little flat.

Quotation forthcoming.

Gunman Clive 2 is a welcome platformer, designed on a similar track as other 2D action platformers. Its art style sets it apart, though, and the marvelous details and graphical environment are a delight to look at. On the downside, its lifespan feels shorter and some instances, such as the flying stages, feel out of place.

Arcade fun, short and sweet and cheap like a short sweet cheap thing.

The biggest problem with Gunman Clive 2 is that for all the attempts to expand on the original game's formula, it remains a very limited game. It's not just that it's over quickly, but it doesn't do anything to really make it something memorable. It's fun, it's not much more than that, but that might well be enough to give it a go.
