Summary: Check the system requirements
Review: I didn't check my video card memory and I have 6 MB and it needs 8 MB. My system is only 1 1/2 years old. I now have software that I can't use and I can't return (Toysrus policy). I don't want to upgrade, but my son wants to play the game. He keeps reading the box and telling me all the things he could do.

Summary: To robelaine From South East Michigan
Review: I purchased Lego Island 2 for my daughter for Christmas, my computer didn't support the game either, so I attempted to return the game to Toys R Us and of course that was pointless, however I did call Lego Media myself and they told me to send them the game back to them with a note stating that the game was not compatible with my computer and the receipt, and they would send me a refund. The consumer affairs information is on their website, check it out!! You don't have to be stuck with a product you can't use.

Summary: Lego Island 2 Review
Review: I really enjoyed the game "Lego Island Two". I bought the first game about a year ago and have waited patiently for this to come out. My wait was not in vain. The joust with the Dark Knight was difficult, but I beat him and enjoyed doing so. I think this is an excellent game with good graphics. It was worth the wait.

Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun and MORE Fun!
Review: I was a bit skeptical on buying Lego Island 2. The screenshots of the game didn't looked too thrilling. After many months of deciding, and with not much good PC games out in the market these days, I bought Lego Island 2 out of pure boredom and curiousity. Since then, I have not regret my decision to do so. It was PURE FUN.I have never played any Lego PC games before. and let me say this, on my computer, Lego Island 2 looked fantastic. For fans of Lego blocks planning to buy this game, you won't be disappointed. Every single object in the game looks and sounds like the actual plastic blocks. In Lego Island 2, you play as the skateboarding pizza delivery boy, Pepper. Armed with his trusty skateboard, he has to save Lego Island from deconstruction caused by the evil Brickster who stole the magical Constructopedia. Along the way, you will get to travel to Knight's Island, Adventure Island and Ogel, in order to rescue Lego Island. Many cut scenes will tell the story ( which is your typical kiddy corny story , and to be honest, the cut scenes are some of the best I've ever seen. Exploration is vast and fun. For any adventure gamers or youngsters who like exploring, Lego Island 2 is like a giant chocolate dessert for you. Vast areas to explore and with vehicles such as the glider,a petrodactyl, police car, a kinght's horse, a bi plane ( the list goes on and on and on... ), makes exploring Lego Island, and the places to come, a pure joy. By hitting the 'Enter' key, players can customize, to their own liking, the vehicles or any plant or decoration in the game. Lego Island 2 is filled with 'Sub-Quest'. From fishing to parachuting and racing to fancy skateboarding, every 'Sub-Quest' presented in the game is highly enjoyable to play. Lego Island 2 boost up to over 56 characters to interact with, and let's say these characters are very helpful! No walkthrough is needed for this games as by talking to the characters twice, the characters will POINTS you in the correct direction. A first I've since in Action/Adventure games. However, a game like this does not come without flaws. Sometimes, especially in SOME 'Sub-Quest' games, the controls are highly frustrating and to make matters worse, the quest itself is very challenging. An example from the game is where the player has to joust with another knight. The player has to continously hit the 'left''right' button at the same time , which is very difficult, quickily in order to win the quest. It took any tries to win the quest and after that, my fingers ached. Overall, Lego Island 2 is like a virtual carnival. There are lots of rides and games to play with and for those of you who think Lego Island 2 is another boring kiddy game, think again. My 21-year Old cousin who is a fan of sports games and like me, is skeptical of this game at first, is now already addicted to this game. A great present to anyone who just wants to have fun!

Summary: What happened to Lego media?
Review: Lego has done better. Their newest releases seem to have abandoned the combination of fun and learning. This is a simple fun game with different arcade type activities no usefully skills involved, no puzzles, no long-term planning or management skills. If you can get hold of one for half price or less it might be worth it. My son chooses to play this maybe twice a month and otherwise it's collecting dust. I should not forget to mention that set up and getting starting involved plenty of tears, so do set it up yourself before getting the children excited about a new game.

Summary: A lot of fun! Just make sure your computer is up to snuff
Review: My Son (4 years old) and I really got into this game. This had a lot of places to see and after a while, he got a sense where things were spatically. I did have to play a few of the levels at first but then he was willing to try it and copy what I did.
It does take a while to load but you don't switch a lot of areas after you get past the first set of puzzles (which lets you off the island into a new area).
You end up in a Knight's Kingdom world, Johnny Thunder character in a Lost World Jungle/Dinosaur place and finally a short jaunt into space.
I wish there was a Island 3. BTW, Island 1 is terrible...

Summary: Be careful!
Review: This CD-ROM CRASHED MY COMPUTER. (Permanently, I might add. Nobody has been able to find out why.) Be very careful when you install/run this program. You must have a super-fast highly able system. (My computer was only 18 months old, top of the line Dell.) When I called Lego Media to complain they tried to blame it on my computer, but admitted that the CD may be too complicated for most computers. This is deceiving since the system requirements on the label don't give any warnings that it not only might not work, but may damage your computer!

Summary: OK Game, but...
Review: This game has much better graphics and you have more freedom of movement than the original, but as for the gameplay, it is not something you want to play over and over again. While in the game, you have an objective at any given time, and whenever you talk to someone, they tell you your objective and point towards it. In other words, you really have to complete the objective unless you just want to go swimming or something. The freedoms and graphics may have not been that great in the original LEGO Island, but the gameplay is much better, and you can choose what missions you want to do when you feel like doing them. If you can, rent it or something and beat it in the 2 days it took me and then give it back, since I dont think it was worth the $... i paid for it.
