Paperboy 2 description

The sequel to the game Paperboy, which was released on PC three years later after the release it is the first part and, in my opinion, superior to the original in all respects.

The essence of the gameplay remains the same: we go by Bicycle and deliver Newspapers around town in those homes that have a newspaper subscription, limited in time, encountering various enemies and obstacles.

Differences from the original several. First, we can now choose a character – either a boy or a girl. Secondly, now we have real enemies: the people, throwing us something, and some strange creatures, like a Ghost. Everything else – cars, skateboarders and passers-by, you may encounter, the workers dragging something or repairing the road, open the hatches, the evil dog – thing.

Thirdly, the game's graphics just improved dramatically: now I don't want to look in any other direction in terms of platforms, more once it started working and is not necessary. Yes, and the world of the city has become more diverse: more interesting variety of buildings (including even Gothic castles!), it is much more sound effects...

The game is a great example of what a sequel is not always worse than the original. Retaining all the charm of the first part, the game Paperboy 2 sparkle with new colors, becoming only better and came close to the status of one of the best arcade games of all that ever came out. It is a living classic, as the first part, which is highly recommended to all nostalgic.
