My Personal Opinion: Battleblock Theater

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Battleblock Theater!

Well the time has finally come. This game has been in development for five years and now it’s out! Battleblock Theater has something special in it’s pocket. It is worth the wait. Yes ,the five year wait. Battleblock Theater glows like a shining star in front of other games. It takes your expectations and roundhouse kicks it. Battleblock Theater is a near-perfect game. The narrator, Stamper is the star of the game and nearly better than Portal’s Cave Johnson. The game itself is super fun and I can’t imagine how fun it will be with four players. If that’s not enough Battleblock Theater has more modes such as a basketball mode, a mode called King Of The Hill where you have to stand on star plated blocks to rack up points, and Color The World where one player is one color and another one is a different color and they have to paint the more blocks than the other player. These modes can be played online with random players or in your house with a friend. The story is good too and will have you laughing within the first minute. Additionally the game is super addictive. It’s like being trapped in a titanium cell. You can also pick a different character each level with the gems you collect. These characters are equally hilarious such as a fat duck, a hobo, a TV, and the Joker. Lastly Battleblock Theater has a level editor. The reason I will give Battleblock Theater a 9.5 is because the single player campaign is a little bit short. That does not mean you should not buy it though.
