Fun new challenge – Lock 'n' Roll 2 Pro Review

Lock n Roll 2 is a challenging and worthy successor to Lock n Roll. I wouldn't consider it a replacement - more of a complement - and in that sense, I wish this "sequel" had arrived as a DLC update so that I could freely choose between boards within a single application. In my opinion, LnR Pro is the standard. The fundamental concept behind this series is strong -- simple and clever. LnR Pro's original sized grid made gameplay feel crisp and focused. Lock n Roll 2 feels like playing an "extreme" version, as opposed to an "upgrade" (i.e. different as opposed to better). Certainly, LnR 2's larger grid creates the opportunity for much higher scores and requires a lot more strategizing and spatial reasoning. This added challenge and potential equals tons of replay value. If you're a fan of the original, I would definitely recommend this sequel, if only for an interesting change of pace. Overall, it looks great and provides a fresh approach to a trusty favorite. *As a couple others have also mentioned, gameplay can feel a little sluggish. It's something that could probably use some optimization, but it shouldn't deter you from enjoying the game itself.
