Gamingxp: Now that I have not played the first part, I was initially a little concerned that I would navigate me into the world of "Return to Mysterious Island 2", but thanks to the possibility of a "summary" view of the first part or listen to , my concerns were immediately dispelled.
The day of chocolates hearts and red roses is on the horizon, and so Iceberg Interactive has launched a new promotion to help you celebrate. Following the particularly generous January sale, gamers can now save 20% on all purchases at Iceberg Interactive's online store until Valentine's Day.
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.
