Maximo vs the Army of Zin is the long-awaited sequel to Capcom's 2002 PlayStation 2 classic, Maximo. The good news for fans of the original is that in Maximo 2 Capcom has improved on that experience in just about every way imaginable. As Maximo--the game's eponymous evil-ridding, polka-dotted-boxer-shorts-wearing hero--players take on the clockwork Army of Zin, whose sole intention is to wreak havoc in the game's villages and thereby send those villagers running wild with fright. Thank goodness, then, that Maximo is so well-equipped in his battle against the Army of Zin. Armed, as he is, with many new attacking options, Maximo offers players more possibilities than he did previously: not only are there 30 attacking moves to learn, but new pairs of boxer shorts equip Maximo with special offensive powers. (Or perhaps that should just be downright offensive...) All of which makes Maximo Vs the Army of Zin a truly riotous adventure. The game builds on the platform action found in its predecessor: Maximo leaps and bounds his way through a medieval cartoon world that is riddled with the nasty clockwork Army of Zin. As his adventure progresses, Maximo is rewarded with thanks and gifts from those grateful villagers whom he is able to rescue--which makes the adventure a thoroughly satisfying one. Combine that ingenious reward system with top-notch visuals and tight gameplay and you have a truly classic title. --Jonti Davies
