While I thought the game was a worthy successor to the original BG, I thought the first one was better. BGII felt too linear to me once you left the mainland. After that, you had only one path to go in order to continue the game. It really didn't give you the chance to accidentally do stuff out of order (while not ruining the storyline at all) like the first game. I guess I just didn't like being led around to areas. It was though great having characters from the first came making either cameos or being playable characters again.

Still a really fun game though and definitely worth buying if the storyline from the first game interested you at all. Which I'm sure it would've since you were playing the game in the first place.

Long live the Interstellar Giant Space Hamsters!!

Probably one of the most addictive puzzle games I've ever played since the original Tetris. The idea is so simple, move blocks that come up from the bottom of the screen to form colour combinations to erase them. On the SNES version (haven't played it on Gameboy), not only is there the 1 player, but also a player vs. player, player vs. computer, timed mode, three difficulty levels and speeds up to 100 and one of the greatest things about the game is the puzzle mode.

The game has fantastic music, most of it taken from the Yoshi's Island game.

Um, yeah, I don't know what else I can really say. This is a great game and can easily kill hours playing it.
