"A HUGE improvement from the first!!"

Lost kingdoms II is a game where you, Tara Grimface, part of a bandit clan is trying to defeat the kendarians and also find their rune stones. It is set about 100 - 200 years after the Lost Kingdoms I, but still has some of the same levels, but they look very old.

Game play: 10/10 (excellent)
You play as Tara Grimface, a girl whose parents sent her away with a rune stone. The rune stone is one of a kind, it posses great magical powers. A bandit clan finds her and raises her to be a thief. The powers that the rune stone holds is to summon monsters. When you start to play you will like it because it is just so fun. The concept may be simple but it is very effective. There are about 220 cards, which is 100 more then the first. The story has twists and turns, and can change depending on how well you play it. There are 3 types of cards which are summon, independent and weapon. Summon cards summon a monster for up to 10 seconds which do a big attack. Independent cards last longer and can walk around, but you can't control what attacks they do. Weapon cards are things like lizard swords which just appear as a slash, it doesn't walk and doesn't last long but can have multiple uses. There is multi player, which is pretty fun. You can use your deck to vs. a friend and their deck. You can bet cards and change all the time limit and things like that.

Graphics: 8/10 (great)
The game play wasn't the only thing that was improved by a lot. The graphics are much better then the first, but could still be a bit better.

Sound: 10/10 (excellent)
The sounds are awesome, the background music, the sounds of dragons, orcs goblins and all the other monsters are very good!
