The jetpack constantly fires bullets downwards, so he can shoot his way out as well. His aim is to stay alive and airborne for as long as possible as he tries to get out and start a new life. Of course, the scientists in the laboratory do not approve of such pack pilferage and try to stop him, putting up obstacles in his way, including mines and other traps.īarry keeps flying through the lab collecting more pieces of tech and gold coins on his way. He accidentally stumbles into a research laboratory of a company called Legitimate Research and sees a machine gun jetpack that flies through the air while firing bullets (the game was originally titled Machinegun Jetpack).ĪLSO READ: Subway Surfers Tag Review: More Of A Rework Than A Refreshīusiness has been bad, so Barry grabs the jetpack and tries to escape with it.

For those not familiar with the game (it HAS been a while since the original was a rage), Jetpack Joyride revolves (or rather runs) around a central character aptly named Barry Steakfries. Barry Steakfries is back!įrom the moment you start Jetpack Joyride 2, you know that you are back in familiar territory. Yes, there are some changes, but these add on to the original, rather than trying to change it. Halfbrick Studios has bravely resisted the temptation to try and fix something that was nowhere near broken. Jetpack Joyride 2 sticks to the format that made it an instant hit when it was released in 2011. We saw that happen with Subway Surfer Tag which morphed from an endless runner to a top-down running game with strong elements of strategy. After all, some games tend to lose a bit of their soul and get reworked rather too extensively in new versions. While it is always great to see a golden gaming oldie make a return to town, we must confess to being a little apprehensive about Jetpack Joyride 2. A few weeks ago, Subway Surfer got a successor, and now it is the turn of another old favourite, Jetpack Joyride, to hit our phones with a sequel - Jetpack Joyride 2.

It is raining sequels of endless runner classics these days.
