There's mot that much difference between this game and the first - you run around on an island, beating bosses, collecting fruit so you don't run out of energy, avoiding monsters, and the like.

However, this game is a improvement over the first. Graphics are more cleaned up and colorful, but that is the least of the improvements. The same fruit=life scheme is used here, but it feels like more thought was put into it. It seemed that in this game, I had a easier time getting fruit to keep alive, and though there ARE some levels where fruit is scarce and you have to move fast, this game is not as frustrating as the first one. You also have dinosaurs to ride (each with their own ability) and a skateboard. The bosses are also more varied.

Again, the graphics are improved. Granted, graphics don't have that much of a impact on gameplay, but compared to this one, the first one had rather ugly graphics. The colors here are vivid and the backgrounds are pleasing to look at and more well-defined. You also get a chance here and there to warp and skip islands (there's eight in all, each with a different theme like volcano, jungle, desert, etc)

If you found the first game to be a bit hard to enjoy, try this one. It's a definite improvement.
