Summary: AWESOME GAME!!!!! BUY NOW!!!!!
Review: Game "Lego Island" by Mindscape, 1997, original does come with a configuration program before the game loads so that it does, in fact, run with Windows XP. Ages 6-12, but 4 year old kids that know how to use a mouse and a joystick have been seen using both (i.e., racing buy walking lego-people while clicking on their heads with the mose to turn their hats into flowers and race car helmets.) You visit rooms to bulid pre-set vehicles that kids have to cycle through parts shelves and drag on to the correct place. Legos can be colored, should is snappy, and my only beef is that there is no give in the movement. You go too far to one side of the road and your car just stops, no chance to travel onto the grass or the water. Ramps and inclindes snap the screen back in place very quickly. Good struts, or old game. There is enough to explore to give kids about a week of play now a days, but if they can read and are interested there is a lot of hidden easter eggs that will keep them busy.

Summary: Kinda boring
Review: I agree with some of the reviewers on here: this game is BORING. All you do is walk around the island doing pointless stuff that doesn't help you get farther in the game. And there are annoying lego people who keep getting in your way, talking to you and dismantling themselves. There is a bug(at least with us): When you build a vehicle, you have to click in the EXACT right spot to pick up a piece. And the dumb annoying lego guy ALWAYS gets in your way when you're trying to click on the right spot.
To "win" the game, you have to on purpose set the Brickster loose, than catch him again, then everyone calls you a "hero". There are no challenging things to do. What a pointless idea.
The graphics are okay, but there was this on time when the street was colored like the ocean and the grass was colored like the street. Lego Island 2 is MUCH better.

Summary: Wow What Fun
Review: I got Lego Island for my birthday from a friend. It looked like one of those 'I don't know what to get her' presents. I tried it out, I was hooked. When I beat the game I started a new one under a different name. It is fun being Pepper, Mama Brickolini, Papa Brickolini, Laura, or Nick. Even my brother loves it. We are going to get Lego Island 2 soon.

Summary: Quite Easy
Review: It is one of the funnest games I have but,the only hard thing is to defeat Brickster.I talked to my friend and asked him"What do you do after you defeat the Brickster?"He said start a new game.So that's what I did.I did the same task over and over again.It's fun for kids ages 5-8,but what do teens do?If your above 8 years old.Don't put this on your birthday list.

Summary: Super Game!!
Review: The game is cool,even if the grafics do look Dos-ish at times,
(Dos=Disk Orperating System) The Game Is Cool!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It ok!!
Review: This game is good for the price it is at!! Here are the good things about this game....... You can create a boat, car, helicopter, and a race car. This game is great for people that want to just play the game and not worry about levels. Good gamers will get bored fast. All you have to do is deliver pizza, race with your race car and boat, tow a race car, and help people as five different characters. You can be Mama, Papa, Nick, Laura, and Pepper. Mama, Papa, and Pepper work at the pizza place and Nick and Laura work at the police station. Also if you give the Bricker pizza he will escape from jall and start taking Lego Land apart, brick by brick. Releasing the Bricker makes the game more fun! I love the music too! Every time you go to a different place, they play different music. I love the songs Brick by Brick and Lego.

Now for the bad stuff....The graphics sort of stink. Sometimes it looks like the ocean is part of the land. This also makes the races harder because you can't always see where you are going. Sometimes you can't hear the people talking. I think this is just because it is an older than most games. Also like I said before, IF YOU ARE GOOD AT VIDEO AND COMPUTER GAMES, STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME. This game is best for kids under 10 because they will enjoy it more!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Boring game
Review: This game is pretty fun at first, but it gets old very fast. You are called to do a certain task around the island, which is cool, until you get through the tasks and do the same ones over and over again. The car race was really exciting. I wondered why Lego Racers couldn't have any races like that. But overall, compared to the other Lego PC games, this one is quite boring.
