Croc 2 offers a marked improvement over the disastrous original Game Boy Color outing. While its gameplay shifts away from traditional platforming towards a top-down exploration focus, it sadly lacks the charm of its console counterparts. Constant samey environments and the absence of a map lead to frustratingly repetitive navigation. Despite these shortcomings, Croc 2 delivers a playable and occasionally enjoyable experience, especially for those seeking a more casual adventure.
