JiG: "After a bizarre incident puts a sudden and violent halt to our exodus, we are, once again stranded on this booby-trapped isle. Welcome back to square one. Now you'll have to continue exploring this mysterious island in the hopes of finding another way home. Luckily you have Jep to help you out with your pointing and clicking endeavors as he proves to be quite useful. In fact, not to ruin any surprises, but without this plucky monkey this adventure might not even get off the ground."

Return to Mysterious Island 2 is a lengthy game, with most players likely to spend at least twenty hours on their first playthrough, and even then are unlikely to have experienced all that the game has to offer. It seems that developer Microids had already thought of this however, adding an interesting scoring system which gives the player an additional challenge for subsequent playthroughs. The scoring system encourages players to experiment to a far greater degree once they are aware of the obstacles they will face, and is surprisingly one of the most compelling aspects of the game.
Based on the work by Jules Verne, Return To Mysterious Island 2 is, quite obviously, the sequel to Return To Mysterious Island. It was released in 2004 and received mixed reviews, but was apparently popular enough to warrant a sequel, albeit five years after the fact.
Last time, we left the series' star, Mina, in a helicopter as she was getting ready to leave the island. Something obviously went wrong as she is now back where she started, only this time, she adopts a pet monkey named Jep, who acts as a second playable character. The game's cover makes a big deal out of it, as it is supposed to open possibilities that are entirely new to the adventure genre.
