I just got my wife a new iPad 4 am wondering if I restore the above two games from her iPad 2 will she be able to start right from where she ends or will it be a fresh install?
More than likely it'll be a fresh install unless the games use iCloud for the storage of their saves.
What you want to do is either backup to iCloud or iTunes with the iPad 2 and then restore from that backup to the iPad 4. That will insure the saves get moved over.
