What’s really bad for mobile is motorcycle rides. The graphics in them look even more shameful than in the platform episodes, and the gameplay is too primitive – the bike rides itself, we just need to go around the walls made of boards (where do they come from at all?) And from time to time shoot at enemies. There are three such trips in the whole game, and the first two do not differ in any way. Of course, Ripe of Revenge loses to the original in graphics. In many ways, My Friend Pedro was hard to take your eyes off thanks to the picture: red clouds after the shots, dust rising, flying crates – everything looked very stylish. Here, the characters are caricatured, and the environment is very poor. The game offers pure gameplay to the still cool music, and now it only fascinates with mechanics, not entertainment.
The authors tried to make each level unique, including using ideas from the first My Friend Pedro . So get ready to jump on cables, break glass in a jump, ride a skateboard, and so on. Without a frying pan, from which bullets bounce off, it was also not without – cleaning rooms in this way is no less fun than before. It’s a pity, some of the levels are too short – as soon as you get a taste, the screen with the results is already displayed.
The gameplay of Ripe of Revenge is similar to the original, although the gameplay has undergone some changes. Time slows down every time the enemy comes into view, and a scale appears around him – as soon as it dries up, the enemy will shoot and will definitely hit you. To win, it is enough to click on it, at the first levels – only once, and later – several.Įnemies are not disturbed by the sound of shots until they see you. The controls are very simple. With the left virtual stick, we indicate the direction where the main character will jump or roll. The dots show the trajectory of the jump, and in my case, the hero always landed where I wanted. And by simply pressing the screen, we shoot at the selected place – at the enemy, at the canister or somewhere else.
The essence is the same: the nameless hero wakes up in an unknown place and sees in front of him a flying talking banana, who asks to find his missing family. We have to go through three dozen levels and save all the poor fellows, simultaneously shooting a couple of hundred opponents. And not just by shooting, but by doing it beautifully – otherwise it would not have been My Friend Pedro . The original My Friend Pedro is one of those games that you sometimes want to return to. Sometime later, after a year or two, when everything had already begun to be forgotten, suddenly there was a desire to feel again like a cool hero of a spectacular action movie. Fans probably would not mind the addition with new levels, but instead, the developers took up My Friend Pedro: Ripe for Revenge – a similar project, but for mobile platforms.
