But even here, it's not that much of an incentive to keep wandering around. The only real design issue worth exploring is acquiring all the hidden Lego character cards tossed in remote locations all over the island. But trying to figure out where the jail, boathouse, information center or other necessary landmarks are, and the game really needs a map feature to pull up so kids can figure out where the heck they are and need to be. The game board is huge, I'll give the game that. You're more keeping away from enemies just for convenience sake. There's no sense of conservation or defensive play anywhere in the game. And if they don't, you simply shoot them with your pizza gun and they'll be stunned for a bit. Oh, you'll be chased by lego mummies and monsters, but all you have to do is bump into them and they'll go away. This design addition causes more problems than anything, since in no way do you need to take it easy. Oh yeah, and you can't die ¿ ultimate proof that this game's for the young folk.
The game's design is basically find an item, take it to the person that needs it, he'll reveal the next part of the adventure. What a shame, too, since the overall game is rather monotonous and uninteresting ¿ the design is simply you playing delivery boy: if you can't access a certain area, it's because a character needs an item. The game may use the Lego branding, but that's only because the adventure takes place in the world of Legos ¿ you won't be snapping together bricks and creating your own structures in Lego Island 2. You'll have to wander all over Lego Island, solving puzzles in order to advance to the next area, trying to stay one step ahead of the Brickster. It's a little confusing to jump right into a sequel when the original title was never released on the system, but that confusion is over when you see just how simplistic this Game Boy Color adventure game is - you play as a pizza delivery boy who's been put to the task of bringing the escaped convict Brickster back to Jail (it was your fault he escaped).
This game isn't terrible, it's just strictly average ¿ and it's not for anyone over 12 years of age.ĭon't go looking for the original Lego Island - this game's namesake comes from the PC title of the same name. Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge is a totally basic RPG-ish adventure on the Game Boy Color, but unfortunately when you pull out all the frills of the genre, you really see how weak the foundation can be. Hey, just because you're a kid doesn't mean you have to be left out in the cold when it comes to videogame adventures.
