Just imagine, you are a senior at high school. One day you go on a cruise.... of a life time ! Your boat sinks and you end up on a deserted island, with only you and another survivor. You struggle to survive whilst trying to gather food, protect yourself from vicious beasts, and survive natural disasters! Well this is what the two young people in Lost In Blue 2 have to do. This is a game for the Nintendo DS. If you like games with a lot of free-roaming and a game that you really need to take your time with, you've found your game! This game was released in North America by Konami on March 20th, 2007. Now... on with the show! Game play---->7/10 The game play in this game is very challenging at first. You are trying to get a hang of the game, while at the same time struggling to survive. I had a great challenge with the game at first and I must say, it was a fun time! But soon the things you do start to become a routine/pattern. You basically wake up and collect food all day! Then soon it becomes so repetitive you just get bored. This game used a great combination of the touch screen and the control pad. You use the control pad to walk around and the A and B buttons for talking and investigating stuff, whilst you use the touch screen to: fight, cook, collect things off the ground and more! I think this combination of control pad and touch screen is very effective!

Story----> 5/10 This is one of the area's that the game lacks in. There is no real story besides trying to survive and get of the island. While there are a few twists here and there, there is nothing major. This game really needs a good story to go along with the great idea that this game presents to us (which is surviving in the wilderness. This is one of the places where I think Konami could have done better.

Graphics----> 10/10 The graphics for this game are amazing! Konami really outdid their selves with this game. The graphics look really real (for a DS game) and it really makes island life great. You could spend hour just gazing at the sheer beauty of this game! The effects of shadow really stand out on the trees and such. Also everything has a 3D quality. If you don't like the idea of this game, you should at east give it a try for it' graphics! Sound----> 9/10 The sound on this game is good! I found myself anticipating the arrival of the next "area" on the island, just to hear the music! The music blends in with the game very well. The music is different wherever you go. My favourite was the jungle theme, it really brought out the fact that "Well, this is a jungle!" I loved the music and hours after playing, you could find me humming a tune from this game. Replay Value---> 7/10 The replay value on this game is ok, since you could just start over and try to survive again. That part is great for replay, but since you already know one what you have to do to get off the island and such, there is not a big change in playing again. Of course you could try other ways to get off the island, but for me this does not cut it. One survival on the island is good enough for me, although it might not be for some people. In conclusion this is an alright game. In a buy or rent situation, I would strongly recommend you rent it first. Then if you love it, go ahead and buy it! This game had great potential and it was a great idea. It just wasn't brought up to its maximum potential with its lack of story and constant repetition. But although it has quite a few flaws, its good points are great. I recommend renting this game at least once to try out your survival skills! But for me, I think watching "Survivor" on TV is enough

Final Score---> 7/10
