[edit] Story

Brian Basco is on vacation in Hawaii with his girlfriend Gina, after the couple fell in love during their adventures in Runaway: A Road Adventure, the first game in this two-part adventure. Gina is excited about taking a bi-plane trip to see the beautiful (but fictional) Tiki Falls on Mala Island, and Brian reticently agrees to the sightseeing excursion. Buxom Gina and now somewhat hip Brian hop on board a rickety old plane run by Platypus Tours, but things take a turn for the worse, setting the couple on a whole new set of exotic adventures.

[edit] Characters

Thanks to Gina's good influence, Brian has become a bit more hip in Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle

Brian Basco, the only player-controlled character, is a doctoral candidate in Physics at Berkeley. Brian broke out of his nerdy shell after going through so many adventures and meeting so many interesting characters in Runaway: A Road Adventure. He will stop at nothing to save the woman he never thought he would have, Gina.

Gina Timmins is the stunningly attractive girl Brian almost ran over with his car and immediately fell in love with in Runaway 1. After all the help Brian gave her in the first Runaway, it's no surprise that they're now a couple on vacation together in lovely Hawaii.

Sushi Douglas is a hip multi-millionaire computer hacker who helps Brian out whenever he gets into a jam that requires technical assistance. Brian has a high IQ, but Sushi has the technological know-how to get Brian and his beloved Gina out of harm's way.

Lokelani is one of the most attention-grabbing stars of Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle

Lokelani is a hot and racy new character who spices things up while tending the bar on Luana Beach.

Camille is a secondary character based upon a real-life French Runaway 2 contest winner[1].

[edit] Trivia

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In the Luana Beach bar, Lokelani mentions one of her boyfriends was called Peter and went "down under" to make a movie trilogy for three years, and she was the make-up artist. This is a reference to Peter Jackson, and the making of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy in New Zealand.
In the Tiki Temple on Maui island, Brian takes a neuralizer and says he has "seen one of these in the movies". He is referring to "Men in Black", and even puts on a pair of sunglasses whern attempting to use it, just like in the film.
