Throughout the ordeal, libertarian Ron Swanson is absolutely beside himself with joy that a government department, albeit his own, is being slashed. Two auditors from the state are present, and while they get down to business figuring out what to cut, Leslie and Ron are left to explain to the irate townspeople why the annual “Freddy Spaghetti” concert has been cancelled (due to a lack of funds). On the episode, the staff of the Pawnee Parks Department is in the midst of dealing with the latest crisis – a budget shortage that threatens to shut down their whole department. It does not store any personal data.In episode 24 of season 2 of Parks and Rec, whimsically titled “Freddy Spaghetti” after a guest musician on the show, Leslie and Ron really outdo themselves in showing their true political colors, and the contrast is pretty humorous.

You even get the PS4 & PS5 versions available in one purchase. Yes, Freddy Spaghetti 2 is a straightforward platinum in the finest Ratalaika tradition. Playful Pasta haven’t bothered and to be honest, neither should you. It’s the clear lack of any sort of flair that has us not arsed in the slightest. Graphically it’s no different from the first game, nor are the controls any kind of departure. Heck, fuck it off altogether and watch the Parks & Rec episode of the same name. If you’ve picked up on our general lack of enthusiasm here, it’s because you’ll be hard pressed to garner any sort of passion or excitement from Freddy Spaghetti 2. Heck, it’s Mrs Brown’s Boys, except this isn’t inexplicably popular like Brendan O’Carroll’s woefully average sitcom. It’s an Ed Sheeran album that’ll sell millions by sheer virtue of being Ed Sheeran. It’s any number of 8:30pm forgettable TV comedy panel shows on BBC1. So yes, Freddy Spaghetti 2 is bang average. Perhaps they figured the first game didn’t sell too well due to the whole signal/noise ratio and discoverability on the PSN store, but fucking hell, at least try to make it look like you’re bothered. After the admittedly occasionally teeth gnashingly difficult levels of the first game, it all adds to the feeling that Playful Pasta simply couldn’t be bothered to put any real effort in here. Only the levels are all set in the office environment and some are so short as to be pointless.Īs well as being short, most of the levels are entirely devoid of any sort of challenge. How this pans out practically is levels are interspersed with vox pops to camera, a little like the cutaways in The Office TV show. Across its forty levels, Freddy Spaghetti 2 is the story, such as it is, is that Freddy needs to get a job. Unfortunately it seems that Playful Pasta couldn’t really be that bothered with any sort of variety. So you might think that Freddy Spaghetti 2 would stick to the same formula. They required a fair bit of skill to negotiate the levels and while a platinum trophy was never in doubt, it didn’t feel like an overly easy effort. One of the good things about the first game was the imagination and sheer variety on offer across the fifty levels on offer. You might then conclude that a sequel would be more of the same.
