Gameplay
Fruit Ninja is back after 10 years and better than ever. The gameplay has been updated in order to fit in with what today’s gamers want. For example, there’s now a head to head battle where you have to slice only the fruits that glow in your color. You can also customize your character and change blades depending on your mood.
Fruit Ninja 2 is so different from the first one in the best way possible. It’s so much more fun now you can play with real people and compare scores. I absolutely loved the gameplay!
Graphics
The graphics are pretty much the exact same as I remember, and I’m so happy about this. The developer decided to stick to the nostalgic Fruit Ninja theme and I can respect that. I feel like majorly upgraded graphics would completely ruin the love I have for it.
Music & Sounds
Along with the nostalgic graphics, the music and sounds are also identical to the original game. Again, I think it would’ve been odd if they had changed the iconic Fruit Ninja sounds.
Controls
If you’ve played Fruit Ninja before, you know it’s all about swiping and it doesn’t change with Fruit Ninja 2. Use your fingers to swipe and cut the fruit, but watch out for the bombs!
Tip: use two fingers to hit more fruits at once.

The Verdict
As I was a huge fan of Fruit Ninja back in 2012, I absolutely love the fact they’ve brought it back bigger and better. This game feels a lot more personal and worthwhile than the first one as you have goals to hit and real people to play against. I’ll definitely be keeping this on my phone.
