This was a game I used to play since I was about four years old. Obviously, it probably didn't make much sense at that point, but finding this game was a time warp back to Saturday mornings with fruit loops. The game is a lot cheesier than I remember, but it is that game I came to consider classic in my childhood (except for the part where none of my friends have an NES system or know what it is). It's a cool puzzle game to pass the time, even if it does have corny music. Now all I have to do is beat the seven-year old me... :)
US RELEASE DATE: 4/20/1990 JAPANESE RELEASE: "The Adventures of Lolo," 12/26/1990 EUROPEAN RELEASE DATE: 1991 "The Adventures of Lolo 2" essentially picks up where "The Adventures of Lolo" (Western release) left off. Here's the story according to the English manual: "Our heroic pair are at it again! On their return from the Haunted Castle (successfully defeated in the original Adventures of Lolo) our Hero and Heroine were confronted by the real power of the land - the King of Eggerland himself. Swooping down on our victorious couple, the King thundered, "The Labyrinth was only a preliminary test - the real battle starts now! If you can make it through my Tower and my Castle, I will set your people free. But just to make sure there are no tricks - this little one comes with me!" And with that he grabbed Lala and spirited her away to his Castle in the clouds. But, fortunately, Lala was able to analyze each of the mazes as she was taken to the Tower, and left clues in the Jewel Boxes in each room. Each Jewel that Lolo collects contains a bit of information that will help him in the next room. With your help, they will work together to free their people from the clutches of the King." The game uses more or less the same game engine that "The Adventures of Lolo" does while improving the graphics slightly. Of course, Hal Labs introduces new puzzles to the mix (many of which are present in previous Japanese releases), and the learning curve of "The Adventures of Lolo" is intact (the game gets progressively harder as players progress from Floor to Floor). Is there anything new introduced? As far as the Western releases are concerned, the idea of "Warp Holes" are added to the game, whereby players can "blast away" enemies, place objects where they used to be, and have them reappear in new locations. However, this really is not a new concept as it was used in Japanese games, such as "Eggerland- Revival of the Labyrinth." In the end, "The Adventures of Lolo 2" is an enjoyable game, providing the player with 54 new stages (9 Floors with 5 maps each, a Castle with 5 maps, and 4 "Pro" stages). Like "The Adventures of Lolo 3," the game is not as challenging as its Japanese counterpart, but it is still fun to play. As such, I give it an "average" score. While I still enjoy it very much, it does not have nearly as much to offer in terms of originality as the its sequel.Read full review
This is a game you will never~ever bore of! LoLo has many,many skill levels,you start out easy,but then as you up levels~LOOK OUT!!! it'll probably take several tries before clearing a level.The game is simple,move objects and avoid being caught by the enemies! LoLo 1 doesn't have awesome graphics,it keeps it simple,so as not to distract you from the actual game play.Graphics are improved in LoLo2 & LoLo 3.You must be a VERY patient player,as the levels increase,as the hardness is very apparent.You may die-run out of life,but not to worry-you'll start on same level!This is 100% enjoyable,addicting to solve the puzzle levels! I don't think this is a game for everyone,as the highier levels will be too hard for the younger children. I'd say from ages 13yrs to 100yrs....ages 7yrs to 12yrs can play this,and as levels get harder,aid them as needed~or better yet PLAY and take turns:) :) my hubby doesn't play any game systems,but he is my #1 helper when I am stuck.You'll never bore of this game~BUT you need to try out LoLo 2 & LoLo 3!!!Read full review
