The sequel to Fantasy World Dizzy. The music seemed slightly less grating at first. After two hours on repeat, I’m not so sure…
The atmosphere remains childlike and cheerful, thanks to a colourful cast of characters and a few playful nods (Pac-Man, Lord of the Rings).
This fourth instalment introduces a health bar (giving you an extra margin for error). On a side note, Dizzy has ditched his hat, and let’s say the backgrounds and interface look slightly more polished. Beyond that, it’s business as usual: picking up random objects scattered around to solve little puzzles and collecting a set number of tokens (in this case, 30 diamonds). But as the saying goes, when you’re a fan, you don’t count … apparently.
