Chex Quest 2: Flemoids Take Chextropolis (1997)

I've been meaning to review this game for a while, but it's not that memorable, so I apologize for the wait. On to the review.

Chex Quest 2 stars the Chex Warrior after he 'zorched' the flemoid aliens from the first game, except this time the flemoids try to invade... 'bazoik', I think? Odd name for a planet, but the gameplay is largely the same as the first one, except with some new enemies.

I like how the concept of 'big guy with gun exits bad guy dimension, but the enemies invade his planet so now he has to kill them' from doom 2 is parodied here (no dead pet on a stick, I'm afraid). It's a fun game, there are elements of DooM in there but it feels like a different game. The level design is a lot simpler (obviously, it's a family game), but the sewer level is a little complicated, albeit not bad. The range of weapons here is great, doomguy would approve.

The enemy variety is alright. The levels are a bit boring and forgettable aside from the sewer and city. They just go by very quickly, too quickly for my tastes. The final boss (or should I say bosses is very disappointing. It's just two larger flemoids that you have to circle-strafe around and just keep shooting. I get it's a Hell Barons parody but they're just lackluster final bosses.

Keeping all that in mind, I think this game deserves a 7/10 certified 'good and a half' rating. t doesn't add much in terms of gameplay, but it's a decent game nonetheless.
