Playing with Fire 2

There's one thing that is always going to be fun — avoiding bumb blasts and outsmarting your enemies, and the classic bomberman-style game Playing with Fire 2 gives that to you in a lot, and that's complete fun. With an option to play single or multiplayer it really covers all bases, and if you want to up the madness factor you can recruit more players to increase the bedlam on the screen, itk can be an absolute riot for friends and enemies!

The game also throws in a fair bit of strategy along the way; snagging bonuses after smashing blocks gives a pleasing depth to every round. And the three lives you begin with? You’ll hold onto them dearly as the three-minute timer ticks down, giving an adrenaline-pumping urgency to every match.

Granted, the game isn’t without flaws. Things can feel a bit repetitive after a few rounds, and depending on how much you play, there isn’t necessarily a more expansive set of levels or variations in game mode that will keep every gamer engaged for the long run. I’ve seen a variety of responses to the game around the web, from ‘normal game’ to less enthusiastic takes but in general, most agree it’s good fun. Simple to learn, difficult to master, with perfect satisfaction for a game fix. So, let’s set our fake Roman candles on fire!
