Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not impressed.
Review: I bought this software for my son, who is a Lego fanatic. His favorite is the Legoland software, where you build your own amusement park. This seems great until you try to play it for awhile and it keeps telling you that you are low on items. Even after you add everything it still dumps you out so you have to start again. Very frustrating for a kid or adult! We haven't played the chess game yet, but the others are far from being the best games on the market.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Chess Master wannabe
Review: This review is specifically for the Lego Chess cd. My 5 year old absolutely loves it and has enjoyed it for hours on end. That cd alone is worth the price of the whole set! It is very user-friendly and he has gotten so good as a direct result of playing Lego Chess that we will be entering him in grade level tournaments in January. With your choice of cowboy, pirate, and soldier themes and a variety of animations that take place when a piece is captured makes this game a learning experience that is great fun!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Still Great Games
Review: We actually purchased all of the titles individually when they were first published (we still don't have the Friends game). They are all very good games. My 6 year old son has learned to play Chess so well from this that he can beat his parents more than half the time. Legoland was so addictive that he and I played nothing else for about 2 weeks straight. I still find I like creating parks from scratch.

My only complaint: Can't run Lego Creator under Windows XP. Lego Alpha Team's sound is dodgy under Windows XP. I wish Lego Media would provide a minor patch for these products.
