Beethoven's 2nd is an action game developed by Riedel Software Productions and published by Hi-Tech Expressions for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in December 1993. Based on the film of the same name, players control Beethoven the Saint Bernard on a quest to rescue his kidnapped puppies.
The game features eight levels, each split into two parts: first, Beethoven navigates environments like suburbs, parks, forests, and warehouses, overcoming obstacles and defeating enemies to save one puppy; then he must safely return the puppy to its mother.
During gameplay, Beethoven can attack enemies with barks, whose power adjusts based on how long the button is held. He can also dodge obstacles by jumping or lying down. Special attacks are included too—for example, after going through water, Beethoven can shake his body to splash enemies.
While the game boasts vibrant graphics and varied level design, it has received mixed reviews from players due to clunky controls and repetitive music.
Overall, as a film-adapted action game, Beethoven's 2nd offers a unique experience, making it worth trying for players who enjoy challenges and adventure.
