Adventures of Lolo 2
SCORE: 95
I am completing my exploration of the
Adventures of Lolo video games with the Adventures of Lolo 2. This 8-bit
NES cartridge was a bit harder to find than the first one. Adventures of
Lolo 2 is a lot like the first game as well. Whereas Adventures of Lolo
3 had all kinds of improvements and advancements, we get more of the
same in Adventures of Lolo 2.
That is not a bad thing since the Adventures of Lolo franchise is one of
the great ones of the video game industry. Families are challenged in a
variety of ways in Adventures of Lolo 2. There are puzzle screens that
require thought. Others require quick reflexes. Still others require a
combination of the two.
We are back to collecting hearts in Adventures of Lolo 2. Some hearts
contain eggs which are useful in solving certain puzzles. Especially
when we need to move the enemies to block the medusa enemy characters
from instantly ending our level. The password system continues in
Adventures of Lolo 2. So if you get stuck you can always find the
password for the next level on the Internet.
The intro movie, and the ending movie are neat to see in Adventures of
Lolo 2. The characters in this home console retro game have such great
chemistry. I actually enjoyed shooting the end boss with eggs to save
Lala. Which is the extent of the violence in Adventures of Lolo 2.
Players can still instantly die off in Adventures of Lolo 2 in any
level. This is done when you are stuck and unable to progress. I am not
big on the concept of suicide. I am also not convinced Adventures of
Lolo 2 is trying to teach that. It is more of a resetting of the level
and trying again. Trust me you will try again many times in Adventures
of Lolo 2 to reach the ending.
The Adventures of Lolo franchise holds a special place in my heart. This
is the kind of a franchise that may be appearing in the Hall of Fame in
the coming years. It requires thought, analysis, speed, and perseverance
to get to the end screen. Then you have to reset your system since it
does not naturally reboot.
