Just finished Mysterious Island 2.

MI2 is the shareware Mac game I told everyone about a couple days ago. I said it was greatly unique experience and very creative in it the visual art department. Unfornately there where a couple of things that dragged it down.

Pros -
Nicely Presented
Promising Opening
Exceptional Graphics
Nice Art Design
Great Music

Cons-
Lame Story (It's about aliens that inhabit an island that a Navy Seal crashes on, but it never expands on it or goes into it very deeply. Your first and final mission is to escape the island.)

LAME dialogue
(Alien: How the heck did you get in here? You: None of your god-**** bussiness, I read your objectives. Alien: So then you know who I am.)

Length (The game can easily be beaten in 2 hours. It has the laziest ending I've ever seen.)

The puzzles were also slightly on the simple side, though I don't really have much to complain about that.

Either way, I found it very easy to get into. 6.5/10

Thanks for the rundown. Did it work okay on OSX?
