Adventure Island II is an action-platformer and the sequel to 1988's NES title Adventure Island.
+ Bite-sized levels are the perfect length and each is well designed to challenge your skills / reactions in different ways.
+ Has some fun vertically-scrolling cloud stages, as well as levels where you can choose to travel underwater or above ground.
+ Controls are spot-on and there's a neat push/pull battle between rushing through and making sure you collect enough fruit.
+ Whimsical music compliments the scenic backdrops, and the game's difficulty curve is perfectly executed.
- Doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from the original game, and the locales / level design are very familiar.
- Heavy slowdown in later areas can affect your platforming accuracy, and the 'Choose an Egg' mini-game is lacklustre.
