Developed by Magenta Software, Stuart Little 2 takes gamers on a rip-roaring journey through a variety of Manhattan locations. Stuart Little embarks on an exciting mission, with help from his new friend, a yellow canary named Margalo, to recover stolen jewelry and learn the true meaning of friendship. Exciting hidden clips from the film, and 12 action-packed mini-games involving skateboarding, mine-carting and flying airplanes enhance the gameplay and will provide gamers with endless hours of exciting action. A fun-filled game showcasing courage, friendship, kindness and trust, Stuart Little 2 will appeal to all gamers big and small this summer.
