Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 is a platform action game developed and published by Capcom on 1993-12-10 for the NES. In the game you play Chip and Dale as they attempt to foil the plans of the evil villain Fat Cat with help from the other Rescue Rangers from the cartoon.

I didn't play Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers 2 when it came out. Having jumped on the SNES hype, I stopped paying attention to NES releases. When NES emulators became a possibility, I started playing some of my old favorite games, and looking though the back catalog of games I had missed. Having beat the first Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers the same day I rented it, I wasn't too interested in the sequel, and, seeing that it functioned very similarly to the original in an emulator, I didn't bother with it for years. However, wanting to increase my total of finished games, I decided to try my hand at it. On my first play through I made it to one stage before the final, and, in my second attempt, on 2018-11-03, I beat the game without needing to continue.

I do not own this game, but I have beaten it.

Review

  • Overall: 4/10
  • Best Version: NES

Good

  • The game plays as a competent platformer for the NES.
  • The cut-scenes help captures the fun and excitement of the cartoon.
  • The graphics are well-drawn.
  • The music fits the game's theme, and it even incorporates the cartoon's theme song.
  • I like that you are able to increase your hit points by collecting R&R plaques.
  • The mini-game between levels is a nice addition.
  • I like how, instead of a fifth heart, you get a giant heart.

Bad

  • The game is too easy. I beat it on my second attempt. I know it was made for kids, but even kids deserve a better challenge.
  • The difficulty curve is a bit skewed in some spots. The mine cart section is quite difficult, and the penultimate boss is also very hard.
  • The R&R plaques are a bit more thematic than the flowers from the first game, but I still think the designers could have come up with something better.
  • You can only increase you life by 2 hearts making it pointless to collect plaques in the second half of the game.
  • The ending is very anti-climactic.

Ugly

  • Nothing.
