Our take on Crazy Machines 2
The focus on building and testing contraptions limits the experience mainly to puzzle solving and experimentation. Players seeking a narrative campaign or direct-action variety may find less scope outside the machine challenges.
What is Crazy Machines 2?
Build chain-reaction machines with more than 150 parts across 200 puzzle levels.
A 3D physics engine supports complex gadgets and effects, including lightning machines and laser beams. World-tour challenges travel through settings such as Egyptian bazaars, Caribbean beaches, and space. Online and free-style modes offer other ways to play. Players can post machines to the online community, download creations made by others, and compete for trophies and ratings. A Hall of Fame recognizes trophy-winning contraptions. The game also includes 3D graphics and effects, family-oriented play, and Ageia PhysX hardware support.
