As the name suggests for this game, Hawaiian Explorer 2: Lost Island is about an explorer off to find adventure in Hawaii, and this adventure is all about finding an island lost in Hawaii’s history. But the game is about fulfilling a lifelong dream too and trying to enrich the people of Hawaii with their forgotten beliefs.

Hawaiian Explorer 2: Lost Island starts with the story of Hawaii’s creation as Charlie Johnson, a famous explorer, narrates it. According to him, Hawaii was made by 4 gods who developed the country with 20 islands, having 1 hidden for the Hawaiians to find. Finding this lost island is supposedly a way for the people of Hawaii to remember their beliefs, and Charlie being an old guy that he is, wants to conclude his lifelong adventure with a possible discovery of this outstanding legend.

The mechanics of the game is for you to find hidden objects across many of the game’s many beautiful sceneries. It’s actually a classic hidden object game where items are listed on the top of the screen and you just have to find all the items within the time limit to beat each level.

Now, I did say that the sceneries are beautiful, but this doesn’t mean that the objects are illustrated beautifully too. While it’s no wonder why all the scenes are cluttered with random items not having to do anything with regards to the game’s plot, the large amount of items however are just too ridiculous to ignore. Many of the items are even indistinguishable, even after successfully finding them. An example would be a pyramid that looks like a brown folded paper which isn’t even shaped like a real pyramid.

On the other hand, Hawaiian Explorer 2: Lost Island also features fun mini-games to play like a mahjong game and a jigsaw puzzle. Mini-games mostly have nothing to do with the game’s plot development, but are very interesting anyway, so you really have to give credit to the developers for giving you a break from all that tiresome hidden object activity.

Another complaint about this game is its lack of uniqueness when compared to other hidden object games. Yes, the storyline is quite okay and you get to choose your character too at the start, but the gameplay is nothing to brag about, very dragging even, making you lose interest to the game’s overall development. There’re the annoying sound effects too throughout the whole experience, and even a bug where Charlie will keep talking about Hawaii’s history when you minimize and reopen the game – something that I experienced pretty much while trying to take notes for this review.

Not really worth your time, but if you insist, please do check out the game yourself.
