It might’ve been a sequel everyone neither expected nor asked for - one that took almost six years to the day to reveal itself - but when it comes to a third installment, that same excusing of familiarity seldom pays off a second time. That this wasn’t a case of its criticisms being some minor facet, but rather the shortfalls were prevalent, yet the best of moments were always there to help steady the course.

Thanks in large parts to a returning mix of quirk and short-bursts of effective gameplay.

Solid being the operative word there a sequel that despite its problems and recurring frustrations managed to ride out its rough waters. A common thread running through many of the reviews to Rock of Ages II: Bigger & Boulder was the feeling of a solid second outing.
