Pros: Captivating and relaxing game play. Many secret rooms and hidden bonuses. Mini-games. Cons: Not innovative.
Sky Taxi 2 Storm 2012 is the sequel to Sky Taxi, an arcade platform game. Like in the original, you play brave mouse Mich and go on a rescue adventure to save the Earth. As Sky Taxi 2 Storm 2012 opens, it's 2012 and you're in the Rescue Squad office when a call from the President comes in. He has an important job for you and reports that pollution from flying taxis and robots threatens the Earth. Scientists have built a magic wand that turns barrels of waste into fresh air. But all the robots have gone haywire and are out to kill! You must hurry to wipe out the harmful waste and save the world! Like other platform games such as Alex Gordon, Supercow or Super Granny series, Sky Taxi 2 Storm 2012 features tons of levels filled with many enemies and obstacles. Flying, fire-shooting, ice-throwing robots, robot dogs and all the imaginable gadgets and creatures inhabit the game. You defeat them by jumping on their heads or simply throwing boxes at them. As soon as you annihilate the enemy, you often get a bonus. But be careful because some robots leave dangerous bombs behind with the bonuses that could explode causing you to lose one of your lives. Sky Taxi 2 Storm 2012 contains a wealth of bonuses. You collect coins, sweets and power-ups as you work through the levels. The game's Help shows the possibilities of bonuses such as superpowers. For example, “Time Bonus” freezes all the enemies for a set time, “Fly Bonus” lets you fly and “God Bonus” makes you temporarily invincible. Moreover, Sky Taxi 2 Storm 2012 features lots of hidden items and secret areas. Sometimes you need to find a special path or door to enter a secret room. It may contain treasure chests, coins or sweets. Try jumping on all of the clouds because it often leads to a secret place or hold “Hearts” that give you an extra life. But don't overdo the jumping and hopping! If you fall from a high cloud, you might get hurt. Plenty of fund features await in Sky Taxi 2 Storm 2012. For example, you can hide in a small house and wait until the enemy passes by. Some levels have a pavilion that you can enter to play an arcade mini-game. The mini-game objectives vary. One has you collecting as many coins as you can to evade enemies while in another you join Boss Battles. Sky Taxi 2 Storm 2012 resembles the original so much that nothing's innovative, and this is the game's only shortcoming. While not innovative, the game improves on the original with its more polished graphics supported by satisfying sound and visual effects. Despite being an arcade game, it's a smooth play that sucks you in further with every new level and challenge. Unlike most arcade games, the charming game charm manages to make you feel relaxed.
