Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Overview
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a side-scrolling action game. The player controls Kevin McAllister, who is separated from his family in New York City.
Kevin's situation is complicated by multiple threats. The hotel staff pursues him after discovering fraudulent activity, while the burglars Harry and Marv seek retaliation for past events. The core gameplay involves navigating these hazards by jumping over enemies and obstacles.
Progress is supported by gathering items scattered throughout the environments. These pickups include weapons for defense and health bonuses. The player begins with three lives, which are lost if Kevin's health is depleted or if he is captured. This creates a challenging dynamic of evasion and resource management.
