Kangaeru Exit Playtest

Heres an excerpt

The original Exit title was a solid title for the PSP system, especially considering it's an original title, something that any system needs to stay successful. Taito, makers of classics like Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble and Cooking Mama (sorry, I had to throw that one in) now have a new mascot character in Mr. ESC. This time around, the man with the cool hat and scarf returns in Kangaeru Exit (Thinking Exit), an update to the original title that was released last year.



The premise of the game still remains the same; as Mr. Exit, you have to rescue all of the stranded victims in a stage. Like the first title, these victims come in all shapes and sizes, and there are two new characters: a big burly man that can push around obstacles that Mr. Exit can't, and a dog that can go through small crevices to retrieve items. Likewise, spread through each stage are items that allow you to overcome all of the challenges in each stage. We got through the first thirty stages of the game, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything that's actually new in the game. All of the items are from the first game, and the same goes for the people that you need to save. There are new items to be found though. Abseil ropes, barrels, floating buoys, and one way doors add to the challenge of the game. The game is also quite harder than the original. The puzzles at the beginning of each world are fairly simple, but once you reach the midway point, they become difficult enough that it'll take you several times to finish them, not to mention getting the fastest time possible. In many of the later stages multitasking between you and your partners is essential to get out of the stage quickly. Overall there are 100 stages available in the game, with the first fifty open from the start. The latter part is only unlocked once you have finished the rest of the stages.

Oh wow, you can stop midway on ladders! Here's my $39.99!

This might as well be an expansion pack you could download from their website. They could have improved the controls, graphics, AI and levels a lot, but no, that would be too hard.

The AI characters still do the same stupid things. If you walk up stairs to the next floor and they haven't reached the stairs yet, they will walk in the direction you are going underneath you (thereby walking away from you). So you have to stop everything and direct them to the bottom of the stairs, and then to the top of the stairs. Argh!
