Return to Mysterious Island 2
SCORE: 82
I appreciate
Anuman for a couple of reasons. The most prominent is they are
publishing PC quality video games on the iPad and iPhone. Return to
Mysterious Island 2 is another in a long line of games that show PC
quality video games work on this hand held platform. For Family Friendly
Gaming it means PC games are not as exclusive as they once were.
Return to Mysterious Island 2 picks up where the last game left off. We
are in a helicopter trying to make our escape. Unfortunately one of
Jule's Verne's robots shoots us down. We crash in the helicopter. The
pilot is dead and we are underwater. The right series of actions need to
be performed to safely make it to the shore.
Return to Mysterious Island 2 is an odd game for me as we start out
playing as a monkey. He helps save Mina (a human character) from the
various problems on this island. The first problem we run into in Return
to Mysterious Island 2 is to find her a bandage. Her leg is bleeding and
needs to be dressed before we can move her.
The game play in Return to Mysterious Island 2 is fantastic. I felt like
I was playing Shadowgate, or Myst. There is a major puzzle element to
Return to Mysterious Island 2. We have to find certain items from a
variety of places. Touching and moving around the camera gives us a
complete 360 degree view.
Return to Mysterious Island 2 can be difficult in some spots, especially
if you find yourself stuck. Perseverance and exploration can assist in
those situations. If you are really stuck, then look for a game walk
through on the Internet. You may find yourself stuck in Return to
Mysterious Island 2 on more than one occasion.
Return to Mysterious Island 2 can take some time to beat. Players will
get their four dollars worth out of this hand held title. In case you
are not sure, there is a lite version of Return to Mysterious Island 2
which will allow you to try it before putting money down. Anuman is very
nice to players with options like that. Family Friendly Gaming was
provided the universal version of Return to Mysterious Island 2 which
plays on both the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad.
