This is a "road building" time management game similar to My Kingdom for the Princess and Roads of Rome. You send villagers to gather resources, clear obstacles, and perform level objectives like lighting a totem or building a bridge.

This is a "road building" time management game similar to My Kingdom for the Princess and Roads of Rome. You send villagers to gather resources, clear obstacles, and perform level objectives like lighting a totem or building a bridge. There are also numerous awards to obtain as you progress through the game.

The graphics aren't as nice compared to the two games I mentioned above, although I really liked the non-interactive island animals like crabs and rabbits. Music is cute and bouncy. There's a nice variety of environments including beach, ice/snow, lava; it changed enough that I didn't get bored.

There is a timer, but it's very generous. The worst I ever did was missing the expert time by 30 seconds or so and there was still tons of time remaining. You get a gold for completing the level in the expert time and silver if you go past that, so I would assume that if time expires you can still move on to the next level but you get a bronze medal (I never ran out of time so I can't confirm that). Challenge level is reasonable and I got expert about half the time on the first try, and only took 1 or 2 repeat tries to get the expert time if I missed it.

If you've played the first game in this series, you'll find this one easier (as far as getting expert time). A new element added to the game is finding artifacts hidden in the level. Typically there are only 2 total, and 1 of them appears for only a limited (but reasonable) amount of time. There's no impact on finishing the level, the artifacts just get added to your collection. There's a pirate who pops up and you have to bribe with money you get from gems, otherwise he will sabotage you, e.g. by stealing resources or setting a building on fire.

Overall, the game was very satisfying and addictive and I ended up playing the whole thing (including getting all the artifacts and gold on all the levels) in a couple of days. :) Show less

I recommend this game!

I'm somewhat new to TM games. This is a great introduction. Lots of fun trying to determine what projects need more attention than others to achieve goals, but not stressful. Music is cute and I usually keep my speakers off, but not with this game. It is very fun and I encourage anyone thinking about trying TM games to give this one a try. One problem, though .. I'm getting to bed late and chores ...Show more

I'm getting to bed late and chores are not being done because I'm going to play "just one more round." Yeah, sure... Show less

After doing the trial run on Island Tribe 1, I was hooked and immediately purchased all 4 in the series. While I thought the first in the series was quite short and relatively easy (beginners will love this game), I just finished spending all day and half the night playing IT2 and loved, loved, loved it! The storyline is simple enough, the graphics bright and the music not overbearing at all. The levels do get a bit harder as the game goes on but you have the ability to replay which is a great feature. There is so much to do! This game offers hours and hours of entertainment and fun. Glam-ma says at least give the trial a go because you will be hooked matey! Show less

I have enjoyed all the Island Tribe versions, But I had skipped over 1 & 2 to play the later versions. I am now in the middle of playing #2, and I've found it to be more challenging than many of the later versions!. As someone who has who has completed all higher versions (several times) with top scores, I am experienced at this game, but already have two levels I have tried twice to capture the gold, and so far have not succeeded! Here are my thoughts on the challenges:
There seems to be less time to complete the tasks, and it's easy to run out of time.
You do not get any advanced notification on finding "specialty" items, they randomly pop up and it's up to you to spot them and click on them. Sometimes they are not there a very long time, so you can miss them if you aren't watching.
The larger jewels come and go as well, do assume they will be there when you find time to grab them.
I don't like music in my games, so that is turned off, and I keep the sound low as well so I can't really comment either way on those. Also in general I hate the "stories" in any game (they are notoriously long in the HOG games in particular) and so skip past those as soon as I can. I do enjoy catching the cute tiny little animations in this series, and think they are well produced. A nice challenging version! Show less
