Summary

Return to Mysterious Island 2 begins with the crash of the helicopter that came to rescue Mina. She survived but is once again trapped on the island. All of a sudden, under her very eyes, an unknown disease afflicts the plants first, then the animal life. Mina explores the island to locate the infection source. She searches Captain Nemo's base in vain, then the ruins of an unknown civilization, and finally understands that it is outside pollution that threatens the island. The only way to save this natural wonder is to turn the shield back on. But if Mina makes this decision, she gives up -as Captain Nemo did before her- the idea of returning to civilization. Two-character play: in the first installment, the player embodied Mina, a young and carefree navigator taking part in the Jules Verne competition, and used Jep, a cute, little monkey, as a simple tool. In Return to Mysterious Island 2 Jep becomes a character in his own right. The player switches from one character to another and maximizes the use of each other’s talents depending on the circumstances: only Mina can use complex tools, combine objects and, of course, read the documents found in the course of the game; whereas Jep can climb places inaccessible to Mina, communicate with other monkeys and find numerous objects thanks to his sense of smell.

Just Adventure

RtMI2 is not a groundbreaking adventure game, but it does do most things quite well, and it has amazingly few faults.

Return to Mysterious Island 2 is a worthy sequel. An elaborate - albeit far-fetched - story will keep you going. The variety offered by the two main characters makes it worth your while. Its focus is on the fans of the genre, but those people will have an excellent game to play.

Absolute Games

Everything is good, except for the fact that it’s the same island, and, basically, the same game again. This self-clone is quite a success, but it’s hard to shake off the colossal feeling of déjà vu.

Adventure Gamers

The sequel gets a little lost in its over-reaching storyline, but it’s generally worth a (second) Return to Mysterious Island, and fans of the original shouldn’t live without it.

Return to Mysterious Island 2: Mina's Fate has a lot of mini-games which can get quite frustrating. So it might be a good thing to check out the demo before you set out to do your share of serious adventuring.

This is the second adventure of Mina and the monkey Jep on Mysterious Island, where a lot of puzzles are waiting to be solved. The story and the puzzles are obviously targeted at children, but the puzzles are nicely done and offer a great variety. There's no real adventure though, but it could be interesting for younger gamers.

Slavish devotion to an old-fashioned adventure formula makes Return to Mysterious Island 2 hard to take.
