The formerly all fantasy/medieval game world now has a number of anachronistic elements, most notably a McDonalds-esque fast food chain.

(The magnet grabbing the nail is вЂњpick upвЂќ, the hammer hitting the nail is вЂњuseвЂќ вЂ“ they make sense but itвЂ™s not as immediately obvious as it should be.) The structure is much the same, as you wander around town searching for various items, and eventually stumbling upon puzzles where theyвЂ™re required. The interface is a bit different, dropping a few verbs and implementing an icon-based command system, although itвЂ™s a bit hard to understand at first. For those sick of all of the forest wandering in the first game, nearly all navigation is done through a map screen, alleviating one the bigger headaches of the original.

The first half of the game takes place in a rather large city. Simon, not exactly thrilled with the prospect of doing any more work than he really has to, sets off to find her anyway. Much of the game is spent searching for this drink, only for Simon to find that Sordid has kidnapped CalypsoвЂ™s daughter, Alix. Unaware of whatвЂ™s going on, Simon begins searching for a can of Mucusade (a play off the Lucozade energy drink) to recharge the wardrobe and return home. Things get screwed up when Simon ends up at CalypsoвЂ™s house instead of SordidвЂ™s fortress. Now with a robotic body, Sordid sends a wardrobe back into the real world, with the hope of capturing Simon and taking his revenge. During this learning process, he decides to resurrect Sordid, who is still none too pleased with being killed in the last game. Simon the Sorcerer IIВ opens up with a young boy named Runt, who wants nothing more than to become an evil magician.
