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.
