I bought this game and played it for about 10 mins. before scratching my
head and giving up on it...but I tried it again every couple of months
or so until one day it clicked :) with me. This is really a wonderful
game for kids...you press a button to shoot out a paper airplane from
the control power...what's the point? there isn't one...it's just a
fun(ny) thing to do (for a kid). You get to hear all these sound
effects and see all these sights on Lego Island...is there a real
strategy? nope...is there real gameplay...not of value to a gamer...but
it is FUN...I can finally see why Lego Island was a commercial sucess
and why it won awards from family and children's groups.
It was a good thing for Lego to do, I think...Lego Loco is in pretty
much the same category...this is fun for younger (at heart) kids...you
get to play trains on the screen :) Lego Chess (I don't have it), I'm
still scratching my head over....Creator is great (too many ppl.
expecting it to be a CAD package - they were disappointed, of course) I
am pretty satisfied with ALL the Lego software I've seen - you have to
keep the audience in mind. and I know that kids play and like a lot
more sophisticated stuff...but Island and Loco were for really young
kids...I think Racers and Rock Raiders will appeal to the 6-12 group
more. Personally, I can't wait for Legoland because I like Theme Park
and I've heard it's similar :)
