CW2 much harder than the first one

[TypoNinja]

Just finished level 18, holy crap hard. Took me almost an hour and a half. After failing several times in a row. Not the first mission that slowed me down either.

I pretty much breezed through the first game, definitely stepped the difficulty up a notch on the sequel :D

Consider it value for your money! :D

Glad to read you consider this an improvement! :)

Personally I find it easier ( just beat silver XD) I'm sure it will get harder though. great game

[mthw2vc]

Yea, it starts to get a lot harder in the second half of the story, trust me... ;)

[Aurzel]

trust me you'll love it, the first half are the learning missions :P

[CobraKill]

ohhhh great  ;D

I've been stuck on Day 19 now for, uhm... 7 hours. I just cannot do it. That said, I love the game and I love how it's more difficult. I just think maybe a little too difficult at the end.

Think of it this way. It is eminently do-able. You paid $10 for it. The longer you spend on it, not only do you get better for the eventual crazy maps that custom map builders will produce, but you get loads more value for your money. :)

Also, once you have beaten any of the maps, you will look back and realize there was a better way and that you can achieve a substantial improved score the second time around. ;)

Indeed. With some practice you'll be able to finish maps 2x - 10x faster when replaying. I would be disappointed myself when I would quickly finish a game I bought just a couple of hours ago.

My one beef is maps that are essentially timed, rescue a pod before creeper hits it, that kind of thing. I've always hated timed missions in any game. And for CW I'm a pretty casual player.

I tend to almost never pause (and I know I could shave minutes off by doing that) to give movement orders, if there are multiple paths I must clear at once I tend to go one at a time rather than both. I know there's a couple of missions I could shave close to ten minutes off just by going pause happy between moment orders and clearing more then one path simultaneously.

But that's just me, its more a matter of taste than a real design flaw, so all things considered, best 10 bucks I've spent in a long while, since the first CW probably :P

The one thing I love about creeper world 2 is that their are new gameplay mechanics you have to worry about, like the

gateways and drones

. Its also gets crazy when

gateways start digging too

. You never had to worry about these in the first game, but they really make CW2 more intense, as well as forcing you to employ new strategies.   ;D
