Fruit Ninja 2 is the sequel to the classic and original Fruit Ninja, the thrilling yet casual game of immersive fruit slicing.

Surely, you have played Fruit Ninja at least once in the past. Trying to slice various fruits, such as watermelons, apples, pears, etc., before they hit the ground may sound easy, but this game surely made it addicting. Now, if you enjoyed this, then you will surely have more fun in Fruit Ninja 2.

Fruit Ninja 2 was released in 2015 by Halfbrick. This is a decade after the very first franchise of the game was released. It maintains the fast-paced gameplay of the original version. Keep in mind that this is also still available for both Android and iOS users, which is a big plus for gamers out there.

Now, this sequel is not that different in terms of the gameplay and objective. As per the description, your goal is still to slice all the fruits that will come up at each level. You need to slice each fruit that will come up using your chosen blade. Do this until the time of the certain level runs out. You will lose once you miss three fruits throughout the game.

The theme also stays the same. Fruit Ninja 2 still runs on a Japan-based samurai-like game, but without all the violence. This makes it highly family-friendly. You can also feel free to play this game for your kids or just use the game as a time passer.

So, what's a sequel without major improvements and new features, right?

That said, Fruit Ninja 2 offers a better and more modernized design of the slicing wheel. It now uses 3D technology. This means that you can now expect a more innovative design. It still used a few of the old layouts from the first game, which we're sure you will like because it will seem like a walk of nostalgia each time you play.

Another thing, the game is equipped with constantly changing themes according to the current season. This allows users to feel more in touch with the game. This also opens new objectives every now and then to prevent repetitive gameplay.

The design is probably the main highlight of the Fruit Ninja 2. More often than not, this aspect is also its key advantage over the first Fruit Ninja. The well-designed layout of the game, the close attention to detail, and the add-on feature all contribute to the continuously improving gameplay. It also reduces the chance of you feeling sick of the repetitive modes.

What makes this even better is that instead of the past when you have to settle with solo games, you now have the option to play with your friends. Battle your way to the most fruits sliced, and show off your competitiveness online through the game's real-time leaderboard.

There are also several mini games that you can choose from, which we will discuss more in the next sections. This is great if you want a breath of fresh air from the classic game mode.

Now, in this section, we'll talk about how to play Fruit Ninja 2.

You won't find it hard to navigate around Fruit Ninja 2 if you have already played the initial franchise of Fruit Ninja. In the simplest sense, play a game, cut up every single fruit that will come up, and collect points. There is absolutely no storyline to follow, characters to converse with, or go through any kind of roleplay.

Still, you'll be glad to know that Fruit Ninja 2 adds more touch of action and spice in its gameplay since it now offers minigames and several other game modes, apart from the three original ones.

To start, the three original game modes include Arcade, Zen, and Classic.

The Arcade Mode is the most intense and action-packed. Instead of simply aiming to cut up fruits, you also need to watch out for power-ups, combos, and bombs to avoid. There are also additional game features here that will help amp up the gameplay.

For those who want to chill out while playing the game, then the Zen Mode is for you. Here, you just need to slice as many fruits as you can within 90 seconds. There are no bombs or special combinations to think of.

Lastly, if you want a taste of the original Fruit Ninja, we have the Classic Mode. This is an endless gameplay, so you may want to play this if you want to waste time for a little while. There are no special moves, but there are red bombs that you need to avoid. You will lose after three misses.

As for mini games, there is a Mini Game Shuffle in Fruit Ninja 2 that you can turn to if you want an entertaining way to slice up fruits. This consists of a collection of several game modes, each having its own objective.

In each game mode, you will have the opportunity to collect points. These correspond to a certain number of coins, which you can use to buy new characters, blades, and taunts. Take the time to buy and collect each one until you have all of them. You may be more motivated if you know that some blades provide more bonuses and higher points than others.

One of the most innovative game modes that you definitely should try is the Fruitar Hero. This combines the art of beats and fruit slicing into one action-packed game. If you have played Guitar Hero, then it's almost the same, except that you have to slice fruits instead of touch beats.

If you want to show off your skills and prove your skills to the game, you may also want to participate in real-time battles from Fruit Ninja players across the world.

Keep in mind that apart from the game modes, you also have daily goals to meet. These will be provided by the game depending on the current season and theme.
