Everyone loves a good minigame, right? Well, “Crank 2″ has a slew of them that have just been released, but while they’re entertaining, it’s difficult to say that they’re “good.” First problem is that the sound is cranked up pretty loud, and there’s no sign of a volume control. This is going to seriously limit the office gameplay and probably get more than a few people in dutch with their bosses.
The actual games themselves are pretty basic, made interesting only by the aforementioned cranked (HA!) soundtrack and the over the top sprite designs, which in at least one case seems to have been designed explicitly to piss people off. Specifically, Help the Hooker, a Frogger-like game in which you help Rita streetwalk across a busy LA surface road. While she gives the Invisible Man a non-stop lapdance.
Seriously.
Touch the Granny, Not the Cop is a Pac-Man clone that’s actually hyper annoying, and Escape on a Moped is an extremely basic racing game with car jumping and speed boosts. None of them are really worth spending more than a minute or two on, unfortunately, but I expect that won’t stop someone, somewhere causing a stir over the Help the Hooker game. Which is probably exactly what it was designed to do in the first place.
