This one fixes some concerns that people had with the first one: Pick Gal or Boy Character to play and more to do.

Lost in Blue 2 like the first one strands you and a similarly-aged young girl or boy on a deserted island with nothing but your wits and your instincts to save the two of you. Every day is a challenge to face when you're alone and have nothing to sustain you, but the island is full of everything you'll need to stay alive -- if you can find it and grab it.

As the days pass on, you'll grow more comfortable in your home, with make-shift tools and weapons allowing you to create traps, hunt for meat, store supplies to get through harsh weather, and cook filling meals.

Just making it through the day is hard enough, but you will eventually find the strength to be able to explore the island and search for some way to get home.

Like the first game, creative ways to use the Nintendo DS are used to bringing this adventure to life. You fish and hunt by touch, tapping the screen to snare your prey.

Overall - a great adventure game that will please fans of the first game.

Newcommers are better off starting with this one, there's more to do and your partner is not helpless like in the first Lost in Blue game.

First one's good- Second one's gotta be better!-

Basicly,You're this kid who get's stranded on some deserted island. You have to survive on wit and everything else you can find. You can hunt, fish, and sort of harvest crops!! And you can do it all on your own time!- It's an RPG! The only thing that stinks is that you're stuck with this pretty mush RETARTED girl who's litteral blindness prevents her from providing food and shelter for herself. That meens you gotta feed and make comfortable not only yourself, but HER!!! - But she can be useful at times- Overall: Get it!- What's stopping you?- FREE SHIPPING!!

PS- Don't ignore this just because it's a KID'S REVIEW- Beleive me, you'll find this info helpful!

I got this game for my birthday, the same day I go tmy first DS lite! YEAH!Anyways, I love this game. It's a little tricky for newbies, but you get used to the controls. I love how much you can use the stylus, you don't even have to touch the controls!!
The beginning is a little wordy and takes a while to find food and such, but once you pass the first day it's good. You have to constantly check you health (HP) and it's gets annoying sometimes, but it's very realistic. You get tired quickly, but you can take breaks.

Finding crabs rises you humger % a lot:
Push the left/right sholder buttons to change the top screen, and leave it at the map when you scavange for food. There is a big sand spot in the middle of no where in the first pat of island. here you can find crabs.

I better shut up now, but overall:
PROS-
-good use of stylus
-great graphics
-fun, addictive
-realistic
-long lasting interest
-great for newbies (BTW, there's no connection w/ the first LOST IN BLUE with the 2nd one)
-several endings

CONS-
-you get tired a lot
-you have to feed yourself AND your partner (until you beat the normal mode, then you can use "serious survival" and go on your own)
-so much stuff to do, so little time, so little energy
-you get hungry a lot, and thirsty

You should buy this game if you want something you will love for a long time.

Konami really delivers with Lost In Blue 2. The animation is fluid and detailed, even beautiful at times. The game itself progresses slowly at first. This is not a game for short attention spans or those seeking immediate gratification. You die many times at first until you get into a life sustaining rhythm. Once you do, the island is yours to explore and you are limited only by how carefully you plan out each day.

I was really disappointed there was no strategy guide available for the game but I soon discovered why I would not want one. All of the things you don't know about the island and your stay there are the things that make the game exciting. This game is about the unknown and that anxiety actually adds to your gaming experience. I found out the hard way how disappointing knowing to much can be when I read a little too much information on an online forum.

For as great as this game is there are a couple of things I find annoying. My partner sometimes seems absolutely helpless. If the secondary character knows how to go gather food and cook it when you ask it too, it should be able to do that for itself when you go out. I feel like a babysitter sometimes and often wish the other character was not there at all. My other big peeve is that when you are out and need to go to sleep you have to go back to your home. I think you should be able to camp and build fires almost anywhere. There could be a cute little sequence when you are camping where you wake up in the night because you hear a noise. More importantly you could get your energy back up to 100% without having to go back home.

The game is interesting, but tedious. You have to maintain the health of yourself and your partner. This makes it difficult to explore easily, and is frustrating.

the best!

lost in blue 2 rules! i love wilderness survival, so this was awesome! i liked the cooking alot, too. but, you really have to plan the day out on it. otherwise, you starve, or get dehydrated. the mini games rule! it has to be the best game ever for ds.

I hope you don't have anything important to do!

This is a great game that you don't want to put down. It is a bit discouraging in the beginning but very exciting when you learn something new or have a new experience. My 8 and 10 year-olds love it too.

Great game for newcomers, not so great for those who have played the original

Overall, LiB2 is the same as LiB, but with a few minor changes. For those who are new to these games, LiB2 is definitely a good purchase, as it has a lot of DS interactivity and is very challenging and fun to play. One complain however, would be how the two main characters must be the hungriest, thirstiest, weakest people on the planet. Normally, a person can go a few days without food with some water, but in this game, your character will barely last 6 hours without food before he/she starts complaining again.

As for people who played the original, I would not suggest it unless you REALLY love the game. It's fun and all, but there's relatively no change at all, making it seem exactly like the original except with a few additions, such as tigers, wolves, playing as both a boy and a girl, etc. Beyond that though, not much. Even the characters look the same and sound effects are recycled, making it very annoying for one who played the first game.

Still, the reason I gave it 3 stars is because I played the original so it's not that great to me, however, if you're new to these types of games, I'd give it 4/5 in both fun and overal score and definitely a worthy purchase. The game lasts a while, so if you really like these kinda sim games, that's another reason for buying this game.
