Trine 2 Review
Post by Dan @ 11:57am 08/12/11 | 26 Comments
Indie developer Frozenbyte have today launched Trine 2, the followup to the original physics-based, side scrolling, threeway platforming adventure that endeared many back in 2009, selling over a million copies.
Trine 2 takes gamers on another adventure with the powerful knight Pontius, the swift thief Zoya and the crafty wizard Amadeus.

The three heroes embark on a new adventure more fantastic than ever, where you will have to survive lethal traps and terrifying monsters, solve many physics-based puzzles and unravel an epic mystery during a challenging campaign that can be played either solo or in co-op with up to 3 players online or offline!
James has been busy on AusGamers review duty for this new effort and things are looking good. Check out this review to find out just how good.

Trine 2 can now be found on Steam for PC and Mac, and you can purchase Steam keys directly from the developer at the budget price of USD$14.99 (USD$24.99 for the collector's edition), or if you're more patient, a DRM free option and a Linux version is promised early 2012.

Xbox 360 owners can also expect Trine 2 on XBLA come December 21st 2011, and for PlayStation 3 users, the Aussie PSN launch date is currently unconfirmed, but expected "around the same time".

Finally, you can also watch the game's new launch trailer embedded below.

I had no probs with the controls. Tip for anyone here, Trine 2 works sweet with XBox 360 wireless controllers straight out of the box (I have 2 controllers and play this game with my kids.... SOOOO AWESOME!)

Well, I ended up buying this today. After setting up the controls and getting into it, I decided I wanted to change my jump button. So I went into the controls and tried to change it and the whole game hung. I thought, no worries, I'll ctrl-alt-del out and start again. WRONG! Now the game doesn't want to let me change anything and the controls have gone back to default. So I tried backing up the game and re-installing but it still wont let me change anything. F*** YOU!

Gonna try deleting the game and downloading it again. F*****g stupid thing. Anyway, what I saw looked good.

Default are WSAD and space for jump. Can't remember the others.
try verifying integrity of game cache

How do you do that? Never had to before. Although it's finished downloading anyway so I'll give it another go after I finish watching this movie.

I got it werking. I had to select control 3. Who would have though that? Seriously, why have control 1 and 2 there if I can't f*****g use it?

Anyway. Apart from that, the game is awesome fun.

I think I'm half way through it...and playing on hard with no hints and I have to say the wizard makes the game trivial. Just make 2-3 boxes and levitate to any parts of the screen you want. Get all the secret chests and all the xp balls the game has to offer. Needs a nerf imo! Maybe something like.. only being able to levitate for x seconds.

But then again I havent finished it yet and maybe I'll eat my words... I doubt it though.

Still good fun.

Ah, f*** this game. So aparently when you quit out it doesn't save your changed keybindings and now it won't let me change them again. F*** you whoever made this. Tried remapping keys for all three keyboard setups and it wont werk for any of them. And the funny thing is there's nothing I can do but hope maybe a patch can fix this if it's a known problem.

You could be the one to let them know about the problem...

Hmm, I guess I could see if they have an official site. I can't post in the Steam Trine forum because I haven't posted something like 10 threads in the general area. Seriously, what type of f***ed up rule is that? Doesn't make any sense.

Hooray! Finally got around the game not responding to the controls. Just turned off the Steam cloud thingy and it werked perfectly.

Anyway. Myself and a mate from werk just finished the multiplay part. Took us bout 6 hours all up and f*** me it was awesome. Easily the prettiest game I've played in ages. Everything looked so gorgeous. Well worth the $15 once it was all up and running.
