Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics is a quirky, colorful blast from the past. Sure, it's got its frustrating moments – those darn platforming sections can get brutal! – but the fun weapons, creative boss fights, and the charming prehistoric setting make it a joyride. The addition of an overworld map and side quests tried to spice things up, but honestly, they feel a bit tacked on. Still, for a dose of pure retro platforming fun, especially with a friend in co-op, Joe & Mac 2 delivers.
