Pandemonium! (USA)

A 2.5D platformer from Crystal Dynamics, Pandemonium! sends its two acrobatic heroes through colourful levels with three dimensional settings traversed on a two dimensional plane of action. The spectacular jumps, the loops and the snappy pace make up dynamic action served by a shimmering, whimsical art direction. The blend of visual depth and readable gameplay appeals, even if the concept stays classic. For a fan of colourful retro platforming or someone curious about the early days of 2.5D, the title keeps a preserved visual charm and fluidity.
