Exit 2 - Directions

Review

It’s all about placing coloured marbles onto their own coloured squares. The question is, how well do your marbles work? As it’s been some time since I played the original game, it took me a while to put my marbles back together. To be honest with you, during the original game my brain took an un-scheduled vacation.  This time, though, I had it covered. Locks all around my head to keep my brain in, and my marbles are going to help me to solve all the puzzles of EXIT 2 - Directions.

EXIT 2 – Directions is a well-designed puzzle game where you have to clear each level by placing a coloured marble on the respective coloured square.

As you roll on the main menu, you’ll have to select a level of difficulty; casual, normal or pro. In the casual mode, you can take all the time you want to clear a level. In the normal mode, you’ll be given five lives and you’ll have to clear a level within a specific time frame, which is usually around one and a half minutes. The pro mode will provide you with one life and most of the levels must be cleared within thirty seconds.

After selecting your mode of difficulty, you can either choose to play the campaign or the survival mode. The survival mode will be accessible after you successfully clear all five chapters on the campaign mode. Each chapter has ten stages to clear and let me tell you, it’s going to be a brain work out!

In regards to the gameplay, the layout hasn’t changed from the first game. You’ll be presented with a small map with either one or four marbles to place in their respective squares. However, you need to be careful how you proceed. This spring thingy will send your marbles back from whence they came! Make sure your marbles don’t touch the bombs, and use the directional (left, right, up and down) tiles with ease as they might send your marbles to an explosive end.

Graphically, the game looks good and the control are easy to use.
