Development and release
[
edit
]
iCarly 2
was announced in July 2010.
[4]
It was developed by
Big Blue Bubble
, a company which had previously worked on a
Windows
game called
iCarly: iDream in Toons
in 2009.
[5]
The game was released for the
Wii
and
Nintendo DS
in the US on November 16, 2010,
[6]
along with a line of
iCarly
toys from
Playmates
with in-game codes.
[7]
In a press release, actors from the cast of the show remarked on the game, with
Nathan Kress
saying the game has "a much more in-depth feel" than the original installment.
Miranda Cosgrove
said: "It's so exciting to see the end results for the video game and hear my own voice come from my animated character."

Gameplay
[
edit
]
Players begin as a new student at Ridgeway Secondary School. They can interact with main characters Carly, Sam and Freddie at locations from the show, such as Groovy Smoothie, the Pacific Place Mall, and Carly's apartment. Gameplay is not the same as the original, with the player being able to create an
avatar
who can explore an open world from a third-person perspective. While the main cast of Carly, Sam, Freddie, Spencer, and Gibby are voice acted, the rest of the characters speak in gibberish.
Reception
[
edit
]
iCarly 2
, like its predecessor, released to limited critical reception. It did not receive enough reviews on
Metacritic
for either platform to have a score listed.
[8]
[9]
Common Sense Media
called
iCarly 2
"a messy, sometimes incomprehensible mish-mash of a game", citing its dialogue as the only redeeming quality for fans of the show.
