"Exit 2? is the sequel to Taito's 2006 PSP action-puzzle-platformer "Exit," in which protagonist Mr. ESC, a heroic escape artist, travels the world rescuing the hapless and helpless from situations they apparently didn't even attempt to escape on their own. As rescued companions join Mr. ESC, they must team together, employing their various skills and overcoming their various shortcomings to safely make their exit.
Exit 2 has a problem. Released on the back of the original's console and handheld success, it's clear that the initial idea is beginning to burn itself out. As a sequel, this title serves as a perfect portion of extra helpings for diehard fans of the formula. For everyone else, Exit 2 shows itself to be a frustratingly sloppy addition that opts for a tastier visual feast rather than any new gameplay ideas.

I have a dream job for you; become an "Escape Expert". You see, you don't have to be a weight-lifter or a sprinter to do be an escapologist (it just sounds fun, doesn't it?). Exit 2 puts you in the shoes of Mr. ESC, and charges you with various "situations" that require the rescuing of incompetent civilians."
Evolved Gaming's Cory Grimes writes, "Overall, I think this game is good on a person-to-person basis. Some people love this game, while I was mildly amused by it. It's a definite change from all the fast paced shooter games and people who seek something slow will love this. I recommend getting the demo and deciding for yourself."
