  At times, Orcs Must Die! 2 looks and feels very much like its predecessor. This is only truly grating on the audio front, since the frequently campy quips and cheesy metal soundtrack that blasts when battle begins are repetitively recycled...With a good deal of replayability between the extra modes, dual playable characters, new gizmos, and great multiplayer co-op, this excellent sequel improves on the original in almost every way.

  Orcs Must Die 2 continues to build on its predecessor which cleverly matched together two different genres into a fun and quirky title, and the addition of co-op dials the enjoyment up a notch. If you liked the first game, pick up the second. If you never played the first, well you're probably not playing it for the story anyway, so feel free to start with this more bulked up sequel.

  ven though much of Orcs Must Die! 2 feels like it's an expansion rather than a fully-fledged sequel, Robot Entertainment adds and refines just enough to get away with it. Besides, you'll be having too much fun knocking back waves and waves of all those nasty Orcs to care.

  Normally, I'm no sucker for the dangling carrot, but given the many incentives to persist – all delivered through a system of refined mechanics void of tedium and full of pure fun – I have spent and will continue to spend hour upon hour playing Orcs Must Die! 2. After all, I need my archers fully upgraded and looking sharp before I'm invited to the next co-op session.

  Orcs Must Die 2 is a strategy game at heart – you’ll have a hard time even completing normal mode without at least some thought put into trap placement – but the constant action and adrenaline-surging thrills of tearing orc hordes apart with your personal weapons and spells captures much of the appeal of third-person brawlers as well...Even if you’ve never played or so much as heard of the original game, Orcs Must Die 2 is worth a place of honor in your collection.

  9.0

  Orcs Must Die! 2 is less Half-Life 2 and more Doom 2 when it comes to sequels. Its level design isn’t quite as good as the first, it doesn’t take any bold strides in storytelling -- though the dialogue is consistently laugh-out-loud funny -- but it perfects the original’s formula while adding some welcome additions to the series.

  9.0

  Orcs Must Die! 2’s new cooperative mode allows its gameplay to outshine the formidable strengths of its predecessor, but at the cost of piling several punishing difficulty spikes on the single-player mode. Even so, few other tower defense games succeed so well in delivering pure fun, and the extensive upgrades and improvements to traps and weaponry makes slaughtering orcs more enjoyable than ever.

  8.0

  Such plate-spinning frustrations are part and parcel of the tower defence playbook, however, and the panicked thrill of being outnumbered is a huge part of why the genre endures. It's in the myriad ways you can decimate your attackers that the game's appeal lies, and the improvements made here have only made that pleasure more intense. While Orcs Must Die 2 still has balancing issues, they're more than outweighed by the sheer pleasure of the minute-by-minute gameplay, where calculated carnage is its own reward.

  Orcs Must Die 2 es todo lo que era el original, pero mejorado. Quizás decepcione en un primer lugar el hecho de que sean tan sumamente parecidos, pero una vez que se descubre el modo cooperativo, el modo Endless y todas las posibilidades de progresión de personajes, es cuando uno se convence de que esta secuela tiene auténtica razón de ser.

  En cuanto a los diseños el juego logra mantener ese simpático aspecto deudor de lanzamientos recientes de fantasía como World of Warcraft o Fable, que tan bien entronca con el sentido del humor del producto. En cuanto al audio la música no está mal aunque peca también de ser algo repetitiva, y el juego llega traducido y doblado a nuestro idioma con un nivel francamente bueno y con unas interpretaciones muy divertidas.
