This week's new Cloud Monday video is part 2 of playing the PS3 version of Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension on PS4, via the PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming Service to my Japanese launch model PlayStation 4.
In Part 1, we learned that the game doesn't have manual saves but the auto save is frequent enough. after playing this part, it feels like that if there is a disconnection you could lose as little as 5 minutes of progress. it's not perfect but it's better than a lot of games we've played in this series.
Playing a couple of hours of Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension has also shown how many different gameplay styles there are. in this video we have some traditional platforming, we have a flying sequence similar to Space Harrier, there's even a sequence where we set up turrets and fight off waves of enemies. none of these gameplay types over stay their welcome which means for me that across both parts time seemed to fly.
I've said a few times now that i've never watched an episode of Phineas and Ferb, nor have i watched the movie this game is tied-in with. there are some characters and situations i don't know the back story for. but in general, the story has been fine, the characters have been good, and it's not been too quippy either. with the shifting gameplay styles and mini-game breaks, i would recommend Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension as a game that's good for kids to play, but also for those who, like me, don't know much about the show and haven't watched it as the game doesn't require this knowledge from it's players.
