REVIEW BattleBlock Theater

Battleblock Theatre - a new long-awaited among the audience Xbox LIVE Arcade game from Behemoth, who are known for their cult Action'om - Castle Crashers.

Local history of the shipwreck on a mysterious island reminds entry to Tomb RaiderBut only as long as it appears that the local natives - not angry with the terrible Russian accent, and cats-Nazis who put theater with traps of different blocks, forcing the prisoners to collect emeralds and balls of wool. Story Battleblock Theatre so uporotyh and ukuren as voice narration that expertly commented on the events on the screen. After shocking the entry, you will quickly get used to the heavy concentration (NAR) seals in the cut-scenes and begin to enjoy the gameplay, which Battleblock Theatre I put at the forefront.


The game is divided into several chapters, consisting of ten levels in each. Level - a kind of theater scene with a series of obstacles, after which there is a way out.You run and jump on the blocks, each of which has its own "chip".Some cubes destroyed in a moment after touching part of is a red-hot coals, in contact with the pain that you take off into the air, which helps to jump to farPlatforms part - is the trap where it is better not to get, but to dump opponents. There is also the sticky surface cubes teleporters antigravs cubes, cubes filled with water and gas blocks, fans, catapults, laser beams, and many others.

Creatively lined levels - the main advantage of the game.Using different cubes together, the authors have created a lot of levels, puzzles, for which players constantly have to wisely approach to each specific section, planning their next steps.However, only in the end there are just too difficult to pass the design and most of the game takes place simply and easily, absorbs you with its addictiveness.Especially considering the fact that dying, you immediately enliven have passed the checkpoint, and all of the steps you are satisfied.


After passing the final level of each chapter, opened three additional episodes where you offer to run the level at the time of a cheerful song cats. It sounds so crazy that you involuntarily start to meow, singing along to the beat of the song.

With each episode, the authors added new types of cubes, so the game is diverse and not to focus on the same elements.For earned emeralds and balls of wool, you can open a new appearance to your character and weapons, fit for the massacre of cats-security encountered you on the levels.

The game also features co-op mode that adds new sensations. Buddy, you can throw through the danger zone, to grab the hand of the cliff and pull to itself, or to throw him into the water and jump on his head, getting access to the new section, where the hidden passage to the secret level.
Of course, it is an optional element, as the game passed quietly alone, but to play together with a friend is more fun than one. In addition, the game is built level editor that allows users to create and share their own creations.


A snack authors left multiplayer for four people. There are modes of "every man for himself" and the command, such as capturing the soul of the enemy, passing levels for the time (who is faster), the king of the mountains, painting in the style of the cubes de Blob and even an analogue of basketball. Unfortunately, because of the failure of the combat system to play multiplayer is not as fun as it should be. Disadvantages also include the last chapter. Too complicated, it destroys the dynamics of the passage, so perfectly given the first chapter.


Battleblock Theatre - One of the most intelligent 2D platformer recently that tightens fun gameplay, humor and additional features.Some of the problems outlined above, and a very specific visual component can spoil the impression, but in any case, if you like this kind of projects is not recommended to skip, and a crazy song cats long-fascists zasyadet in your head.

Tested on Xbox360
