Adventure Island II (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1991)

Product Specs

Description

After being bonked on the head by a coconut, Higgins awakens and then proceeds to run around an island bonking animals on the head. The manual states that this game is actually about rescuing a princess from aliens, but that's not very original. Adventure Island 2 is also lacking in atmosphere. Its cut-and-paste backgrounds, simplistic music, and run-of-the-mill level designs don't exude the feeling of being on an adventure-filled island very well. Master Higgins is not really appealing as a character to me, either, and the game Just seems to lack personality, despite having a few cool dinosaur friends.
