De ontwikkelaars van Microsofts Office Labs hebben een nieuwe versie van hun Ribbon Hero uitgebracht met 2.0 als het versienummer. Dit spel heeft als doel om de speler te leren hoe met de ribbon in Microsoft Office 2007 en 2010 gewerkt kan worden. Het installeert zichzelf in de ribbon van Office en volgt de gebruikersacties. Punten worden gescoord door gewoon met Office te werken; voor extra punten kunnen bepaalde 'challenges' worden uitgevoerd, waarin je de welbekende Clippy in zijn avonturen moet bijstaan.
Ribbon Hero 2
What happens when Office and Xbox intermingle?
Yes, we turned Office into a game! If you're going to spend time immersed in the inner workings of Office, by golly it should be fun. In Ribbon Hero 2, the player will hop on board Clippy's stolen time machine and explore different time periods. With each time period, they get to explore a new game board with challenges they must complete to get to the next level. Each challenge takes the player into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote to complete a task. Discover new Office features by actually using them, with a hint button to fall back on in case you get stuck. Race for a high score with colleagues, classmates and friends, or even put your score on your resume to show off your Office skills!
For those of you who have been paying attention, we've done this before. That's how we got the “2” on the end of the title. So what's different? *deep breath* Clippy, comic strips, colorful graphics, surprise animations, multiple levels, time travel, upside-down Clippy, space ships, Greek Gods, bow-and-arrow battles, and a ton of useful Office features.
