Lemmings Revolution

Summary: You Can't Go Home again.
Review: Disappointing. Fans of the former Lemmings games will be disappointed. The game requires installation of DirectX 7, supposedly included on the CD. After several attempts at installing the game and DirectX 7, the game would not play. The simplicity of the original game is lost.

Summary: Another great Lemmings game
Review: For those of you new to Lemmings, they are puzzle-solving games (that get really difficult) that don't really require co-ordination. All in all, this is a great, mind-taxing, highly addictive game! If you know the other Lemmings games and liked them, you'll like this one too. This game has some new stuff; there are several different types of lemmings - some can walk on water - which helps complicate the puzzle-solving. Also, all the puzzles are rotated on a cylinder, which gets a bit annoying and doesn't really add anything. By the way, I don't have either of the problems that Hamid has. The game works just fine for me.

Summary: Lemmings is back, again...
Review: I have been unable to convince this game to work. My computer meets the minimum requirements, but the game quits like every 30 seconds. Based upon what I've seen of the game (the opening scene) it looks great, but who can tell?

Summary: It's Lemmings! It has to be good! It is good!
Review: I have just purchased this game and let me tell you, it's a ball! I have the original and the best part about this version is that you are able to turn the puzzle around. Very cool game for classic game lovers. A must buy!

Summary: Great game, annoying issues
Review: I love lemmings games in general, and this game is no exception, it is very fun to play. But there are two majorly annoying things about this game. One, is that everytime I start the game, I have to sit through a two minute AVI. No way to skip it. Pressing ESC, or any other key doesn't do it. So I burned a CD-ROM copy and replaced all the AVI files with blank AVIs. Problem solved (for me). Second issue: it runs ONLY at 640x480. Which means each pixel is 1/4" square on my 20" monitor (do the math). I don't think anyone ever made a 3D accelerator (required to run the game) that doesn't support 800x600, or even 1024x768. And unless you have an old 80386 machine with 8 Megs of RAM, you can most likely get good framerates even at 1024x768 (this is not QuakeIII, it is a cylinder fixed in the middle of the screen, with little lemmings walking around on it). Very annoying.

Summary: GOTTA LOVE THOSE LEMMINGS!
Review: I was totally addicted to the first versions which for me were DOS overlayed on windows - and had a ton of glitches. I was thrilled when this came out and like the rest think it's a blast but VERY addicting. I love the pause feature which allows you to make changes and I love the zoom. I also agree that the circular layout doesn't add much - but the 3-d effects are great. This is totally worth the money. I think the puzzles are very creative - if not frustrating but when you finally solve them - it's pretty darn great! Can't wait for the next version.

Summary: Cool, really hard though
Review: I would definetly recommend this game to someone who has a lot of spare time. it is very difficult and frustrating if you don't get these suicidal lemmings to thier balloon on time. I liked it at first but then the Lemmings just irritated me. get it if you like lemmings. But if you like games that are challenging as well as icredibly difficult, better pass it up.

Summary: Fun, sometimes sadistic, but fun
Review: If you want to be in charge of a bunch of moronic, cute, green balls of fur as they explode, fall of cliffs, drown, and get cut to bits by traps, you might enjoy this game. Of course, the goal is for them not to get killed, but to get to a hot air balloon hidden beyond all the tricks and traps, which will take them to safety. Although it starts out simply, the puzzles quickly get intense, luckily however, for each level you complete, you will unlock 2 harder levels (there is a "map", so sometimes completing a level will unlock only one, or no levels, but usually you will get two). I don't know if it is just my disc, but I cannot play one level (the high dive), because I am missing a texture or something. If anyone has any information about that, I would like to know it. Anyway, this game is extremely chalenging, even having played the original, and is also entertaining, often in a sadistic way (the spike logs often get a little... choppy), so if you like puzzle games, I recomend you give this one a try, since it doesn't cost too much for 100 levels.
