Beautiful but very poor port to iPad – Jules Verne's Return to Mysterious Island 2 HD Review

While the game has beautiful graphics and smooth movement it is otherwise a failure. None of the mini-games have any instructions, there is no iPad walkthrough, and there are significant differences between the computer version and the iPad version. A lot of puzzles you don't even do and some you only have to do half of them to move forward. In addition you end up collecting several items that you can never use because there is no way to complete the puzzle - i.e., you can't make a cake batter because there is no way to collect the maple syrup or honeycomb to make the sugar. This game had such potential - it's too bad no one cared enough to make a quality port of the game to iPad.
