It’s possible to have a visual aid (as Freddy has no distinguishing features – is he a boy?), a green dot on one side and a yellow one on the other. The first spaghetti video game… Source: PR This could potentially be a flaw in the game as it means you can complete each of the 40 missions in less than a minute – the maximum we got to was just under two minutes, not knowing what to do. One could surmise that this would be a nightmare – as if playing a game of Gang Beastsor Clumsy Rush with unpredictable controls, but it’s very accurate. Advertised as rope physics or dynamics – take your pick, Freddy will flap about, landing in so many unique positions. The physics element of the game works well, to be fair. The power of the movement is measured with a circular gauge, and with the left analogue stick, you can aim the trajectory. Holding them down will project Freddy into the air, either by doing one at a time or both simultaneously for an explosive jump. Right, that clears up what happens in the game, but how do you play Freddy Spaghetti 2? There are two buttons required, at least on the PS5 version reviewed, L1 and R1. Other times he’ll be goofing off by playing a game of table tennis or foosball. So Freddy’s a good guy then? Sure, but he’s not without a poor work ethic – presumably because he does the jobs nobody else wants to, or maybe it’s because he’s a piece of spaghetti? As mentioned above, he’ll jump into the fish tank – for what purpose, nobody knows, then get water everywhere.
There’s an office romance underway, and Freddy is at the root of it, egging on Jack and Jill to ‘will they, won’t they status’. But it’s not all work, work, work as Freddy’s a bit of a matchmaker too. There’s no solid plot, but a linear narrative sees Freddy through from his hiring to, * spoiler* firing. Without any opposable thumbs and various other motor skills to do a variety of jobs, Freddy mostly slaps stuff about or using their explosive power to get around the floor space, upstairs and swimming in fish tanks. They allocate you, Freddy, several dog’s body duties such as fixing the servers by slapping them, mending the photocopier and moving stock about. There are talking head segments where the boss seemingly talks to an interviewer, or perhaps you, explaining why they gave this conscious piece of spaghetti a role in their workplace. Freddy Spaghetti 2 Reviewįreddy Spaghetti 2 plays out like something from The Office. Perhaps a little misleading either in the promotional material or my interpretation, Freddy is not hired as a coffee expert, but they are hired to do a multitude of jobs within the workplace, play a few games and wind the boss up.
