Characters
In Blinx 2 the player controls either a Time Sweeper (an anthropomorphic cat) or a Tom Tom (a pig) on their mission to prevent the end of the world by finding the 8 fragments of the all-powerful Big Crystal. The Time Sweepers include: Picaro, an uncaring sweeper; Blinx, the saviour of a whole universe; and Catherine, Blinx's shop owner in the original Blinx.
The Time Sweepers monitor time so they can sweep up rubbish on the ground to fire as ammo this is known as space time scramble(objects from alternative dimensions will materialize near by). Their enemies are Time Monsters, glitches in time with minds of their own; and the Tom-Tom Gang, an evil gang of anthropomorphic pigs that steal time. They also must face the segments of the Big Crystal, when they mutate into A SERIOUS TIME GLITCH these monsters have absorbed a crystals energy and have gone rogue In Blinx 2, there are various missions the player must complete in order to find the Big Crystal. As many of the Time Monsters respawn when needed, the 'Time Sweep' mission of the original Blinx no longer applies.
The Tom Toms are time bandits, who use guns, turrets, tanks and other traps (for example, a decoy which morphs into a Tom Tom to lure Time Sweepers away). Their enemies are the Time Sweepers, the K9-1000 dogs, and two bosses.
The overall story of the game: Some Tom-Tom pigs accidentally destroy the legendary Big Crystal upon discovering it. The Time Sweepers and the Tom-Toms must then fight past many time glitch monsters and each other. When playing as the Time Sweepers and upon completing levels. A short cinematic plays of the mysterious Time Angel who want her crystal repaired. At the end of the game the player is part of a team which must go to a mysterious part of an alternate universe to defeat the Time Dragon, a mission from which they cannot return. The team are being easily defeated by the Dragon until a squad of Tom-Toms arrive. The leader of the Tom-Toms will look the same as the one the player has customized when playing as the Tom-Toms. He gives the player a special weapon which enables the player to hurt the dragon. However, at this point in the game, many users experience a glitch which means the player is unable to hurt the dragon in anyway. The story itself has clearly been hastily edited at the end as it makes very little sense. Once the Dragon dies it dissolves. The screen the fades to bright light at which point the Angel basically thanks the Time Splitters and the Tom-Toms. What happens to the team is unknown.
Players can completely customize the looks of their two characters, with an extremely deep customization system. During the game's production, many viewed this as a revolutionary new standard in character creation, however the game's limited advertising following its release caused it to go widely unnoticed.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“The major men
That is different. They are characters beyond
Reality, composed thereof. They are
The fictive man created out of men.
They are men but artificial men.”
