The story of "The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone" has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it clichéd and unoriginal, particularly in comparison to its predecessor, "Mission Vileaf." While the plot involves the Smurfs teaming up with Gargamel to prevent chaos, many reviewers noted that the narrative is not the main draw of the game, emphasizing that the gameplay mechanics and challenges are more engaging.

- “The plot is great, having the smurfs teaming up with their arch enemy Gargamel in order to stop the green stone from taking over the whole smurf village.”

- “Throughout the story, you're forced to fight the same boss 6 whole times, 3 of these instances occurring in the final level alone.”
