Taking these bombs out isn’t easy either, as they appear to need as much fire to destroy as some of the mid-tier enemies. Enemies genuinely come thick and fast and there is a pretty big difficulty spike around the sixth mission, mainly due to the introduction of a plane that drops massive bombs that, if allowed to hit the deck, will kill you even if you’re the other end of the screen. If you collect four parts you can unleash this heavy duty laser that clears anything in its path. Along the way, power ups are dropped from an allied chopper and the odd enemy will drop part of a mega weapon.

After they are disposed of, you enter an armoury where you can upgrade your weapons. Each mission sees you progress from left to right with the far right being the end of the level where you will encounter a large boss battle. This takes a little getting used to but ultimately works well as you simply move the right stick in the direction you want to fire. Movement is controlled with the left stick while fire is controlled with the right stick. Occasionally you’ll get attacked from the ground as well, though thankfully it is only occasionally.
The game is almost like a side-scrolling military version of space invaders, in that you can move across the bottom of the screen while what seems like an endless wave of choppers and planes drop bombs from above. Heavy Weapon: Atomic Tank was released in 2007 for 800MP and sees you take control of a nuclear-armed tank tasked with saving the world from invasion by a group called Red Star. Again it starts off simple enough but by the time you get to Jaguar (third grade) you will be frantically spinning round trying desperately to clear the marbles. Each temple you have beaten in the Adventure mode is available and each has four tiers to beat. The second mode is Gauntlet which is your survival type. The first five temples are fairly easy to beat but from then on it gets very tricky indeed. for example, the chain takes to moving under itself or behind the scenery. The further you go the more complex the route. The fifth level in every temple has two chains of marbles instead of one to add a touch of variety.
There are twelve temples in total with the first three having five levels, the next three having six and the final six temples have seven levels each. There are two game modes Adventure is your standard level-by-level game that sees you progress through a multitude of temples one-by-one. Along the way you will get additional bonuses that see the chain rewind, pause or cause you to blow a hole in the chain. When a group is cleared the balls in front drop back to reaffirm the chain and the trick is to get them to create another group of like-coloured marbles to gain multipliers. In order to clear balls you have to make a sequence of three or more of the same colour by firing with the A button. Where the original PopCap hits relied on age-old classics the follow-up (cleverly titled PopCap Hits 2) includes a slightly more varied blend of puzzle and action, classic and new breed.Īs ever though, the proof of the pudding is in the eating so has PopCap Hits 2 got enough to sink your teeth into? Read on to find out.įirst up this time is classic puzzle game Zuma, originally released to Xbox Live in 2005 at 400MP. Zuma sees you firing different coloured marbles from a central position on the screen at a snake-like chain of marbles that moves around you towards a hole. The idea being that you clear all the balls before they drop down the hole.
Not content with releasing four highly addictive and entertaining games on one disk for under £20, we now have a second instalment of PopCap Hits to deal with, all thanks to Mastertronic.
