Opening Snide Remarks: Adventure Island 2 looks like a cool platformer.  
A caveman riding on dinosaurs jumping across platforms sounds pretty good. 

Gameplay: Adventure Island 2 is an excellent game that is tough.  If you 
think that it's basically just a Mario clone, you're wrong.  This game is
very light story-wise, but makes up for it with it's gameplay.  Powerups 
galore make this game great, riding on dinosaurs is very cool.  Each dinosaur
has different strengths and weaknesses.

Graphics: Very detailed graphics for an early Game Boy game.  Men In Black
it is not, though.  The characters are large and decently animated.  The 
backgrounds are also excellent.

Sound: Simple sound effects, that are pretty much what you'd expect.  Nothing
spectacular, but good enough.

Music: Excellent music that is almost as good as the graphics.  It fits the 
game well.

Play Control: Excellent control as you wold hope for in a platform game.  
The controls are simple for a straight-up run and jump adventure.

Final Analysis: Adventure Island is an excellent addition to anyone's Game
Boy collection, especially if you like platform games.  This game is tough, 
though.
