Trailer Park King Episode 2

Trailer Park King Episode 2 – Demo Impressions

Trailer Park King Episode 2 is the continuation of the Trailer Park King series starring none other than Julian aka King. If i had to give a brief synopsis of Trailer Park King it would be that of the lighthearted comedic variety reminding me of the movie Joe Dirt. Trailer Park King Episode 2 is a action adventure game developed and published by Freelance Games for Xbox Live Indie Games Marketplace (XBLIGM). The game released today via Xbox Live 1/6/2012.

I have played Trailer Park King in trial game form. That game centered around the main protagonist King and his skirmish with Truck (the town bully). By the end of the demo Truck lays dead in King’s apartment. Needless to say King was taken by surprised but was accused nonetheless. All of it started because King took Truck’s sister out on a date. He couldn’t help himself after all he is a “connoisseur of the ladies”. Trailer Park King Episode 2 i assume picks up directly after the events of the first game where i see King in a jail cell.

The title screen had the following menus: Play, Music (on/off), Other Games, Credits and Unlock Full Game. Other Games showed a game called Starchon which looks like a space shooter. Act 1: Funeral for that Guy centers around Truck’s funeral. The beginning of the act showed King in jail surrounded by Celine (Canadian chick) and Vikki (cop). To explain the artstyle of every female character in this game would be goodlooking and voluptuous. For the most part cuscenes are shown with pictures with text underneath and voiced dialog that isn’t very good.

The girls are badgering King from his cell about how he killed Truck but magically Truck wonders in the conversation. I thought ok Truck isn’t dead, After talking with Truck you can pick one of three responses at which Truck then vocally responds accordingly. It had something to do with Zamboni (Truck’s little sister) stealing his truck. The scene ends from the jailhouse. Next your shown a “3 Days Later” text and see King waking up next to Celine. You soon learn that Truck is actually really dead.

Celine then asks Truck if he wants any Canadian beaver lol. Yea some funny sexual innuendos in Trailer Park King episode 2 thats for sure. Its funny because she then shows up with a dead beaver in her hand ready to cook. The town has been totally redesigned for Episode 2. In the first Trailer Park King the town was stacked up high. In Episode 2 the town is all horizontally set up for easy 2D side scrolling access. I personally like the design of the Trailer Park in Episode 2 much more. Some of the buildings include Big Mart, T Bar and King’s house. There is a scene with Gamer Girl (a character from the first game) where you have to do some shooting at a shooting range.

You have to shoot bottles off the heads of dummies that Nikki’s twin sister made. Aim with LS and Shoot with A. It was easy enough i scored 35 points. Gamer Girl wanted you to choose which balls (blue or black to bury with Truck. After the shhooting range scene you have to do some searching around town. You need to find something to move the frozen corpse of Truck and something to break apart the ice covering him. Trailer Park King Episode 2 has a point and click style of gameplay. You point and click on objects and doors to navigate inside buildings. I saw a sheep inside King’s apartment and rode it around outside town searching for more items.

The presentation for this indie adventure game is decent. I do like the atmosphere and writing which was funny at times. The voice actors need some work however. The artstyle used on all the characters was pretty good. The music done by Dragon Music Productions dis a good job on bringing a Joe Dirt atmosphere to Trailer Park King Episode 2. Although i never played the full versions of either games i did like Episode 2 as it features more diversity amongst its gameplay. The town structure was much better also. 80 MSP can buy you Trailer Park King Episode 2 off Xbox Live. Thanks for reading.
