Music Catch 2 Game Review–A Dichotomy At War With Itself

On March 24th, 2009 in Uncategorized -

One of the strangest games I may have ever seen on Armor Games comes to me in the form of Music Catch 2,  one of the newest titles to show up.

Essentially, a flood of musical notes will flood out of a scale out into a blank black field.  You will then control a small sphere to collect the notes.  Yellow notes serve as multipliers, increasing your score for each note collected.  Red notes reduce your multiplier, and purple notes act as temporary vacuums, sucking every note except the red notes into your sphere.  And when there are hundreds of notes on the field, the action can get pretty frantic.  And yet, often playing in the background is the quietest, most gentle sort of classical / new age music that you’ve ever heard.  It’s soothing and yet hyperkinetic all at the same time, and this dichotomy is the kind of stuff that’ll bend your mind in all sorts of preposterous angles if you’ll allow such to happen.

Fun?  Yes, in its way.  The collection of notes and the avoidance of red notes is fast and frantic.  And the music is calming and gentle, the kind of thing you’d like to take into a hot bath.  So if you can adapt to this strange mix of conditions, then you’ll love Music Catch 2.
