Meiko Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Meh, I wasn't too interested in it, nor was I in the games. It had some nice parts, and some interesting builds.

Andrewnuva199 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Just popping in to say I'm on fan level 5 on this toyline. Though I haven't done much with it lately. I have a whole bunch of City/Town sets I want to make part of my own LEGO Island, but they're all sitting under a desk right now. I also haven't touched the games in awhile. I blame Steam.

WriterofReapers Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Oh boy... This is total Jamesster bait. Personally, I liked the line. Although in hindsight the concept is rather silly, it was one of the last themes that was made almost entirely to be fun (at least in my opinion).

Meiko Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I did like the color schemes used in it. It was quite interesting, and pretty useful when it came to parts (except for printed pieces).

SonicBOOM XS Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Lego Island got me into gaming, Sonic and Mario just solidified my interest. OK, OK, this one Pearl Harbor game as well as NFS got me into gaming, but LEGO Island brings back sweeeeeeet memories. I remember never getting the pieces for the boat in place. XD I loved it.

Brikman McStudz Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Andrewnuva basically describes my sentiment of this game. Its what got me into gaming and LEGO building in general. I also have a LEGO Island MOC in progress. Though I have decided to mostly stop buying City sets and start ordering off of PAB. It was a good series. I'd definitely like to see a remake in the future or even some more references in LEGO Universe. Quote Nothing witty about Reggie anymore. I'm afraid I've joined the PC Master Race. .

jamesster Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Seeing as LEGO Island was primarily a video game line that had a small series of set tie-ins, not the other way around, shouldn't this go in the video game discussion forum place what's-it-called? Oh boy... This is total Jamesster bait. Post inbound! Personally, I liked the line. Although in hindsight the concept is rather silly, it was one of the last themes that was made almost entirely to be fun (at least in my opinion). Silly doesn't quite describe it. Complete lunacy is more like it. Anyways, I have all the LEGO Island games on all platforms except for LI2 GBA (though I have played it via emulator...), in fact, I just got Island Xtreme Stunts for PS2 earlier today. Pretty much the PC version with moderately altered graphics but still fun. There's a lot of great info in the old LEGO Island topic: http://www.bzpower.c...howtopic=319726 So, stuff that's happened since then... Well, most recently, check this out. http-~~-//www.flickr.com/photos/roskelld/sets/72157623109706601/">http-~~-//www.flickr.com/photos/roskelld/sets/72157623109706601/ Dean Roskell, who worked at Silicon Dreams, has uploaded a ton of awesome stuff related to his work there. The most interesting thing IMO is that early map design for Island Xtreme Stunts. Rolf the Vet was mentioned in the files for Island Xtreme Stunts in a few places, but the map gives a bit more info. A beta character who had to do with Brickimals, going by what it says. Also, Gnarly Bones was named Boney Hawks, Shugu was named Animal Chin (both of them a reference to this), and Phil Maker was named Phil Film. ... Dang, I've kinda forgotten what's happened between BZPs downtime and now that's LEGO Island related, besides Dean's uploads.

Manducus Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The games were interesting, but I just couldn't figure out the fishing part in Island 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I like Island Extreme Stunts's gameplay idea, but wasn't too into it.

emily Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I didn't play the original game until 2006/7 or so, and the version I got worked very poorly on my computer. From what I've seen, though, the characters were all unique and a lot more lively than in Lego Island 2(whenever I think of a Lego Island character, their original version comes to mind over their version in the second game, kind of odd seeing as I've played the second one a lot more). I always loved playing Lego Island 2, although I could never seem to beat Cedric the Bull and his cannons until more recently. I bought a PC copy of Island Xtreme Stunts, but it always crashes and so I've pretty much given up on trying to complete it. I've enjoyed the series overall, but ironically whenever I think of The Brickster I think of the Soccer Mania game, in which he steals the trophy you won playing the first few levels.

Meiko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Does Island Xtreme Stunts fall under the LEGO Island theme? Also, I think I have an unopened box for LEGO Island (The original) for PC.

emily Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Island Xtreme Stunts is usually put in the same theme as Lego Island 1 and 2, as it has the same characters, location, etc. The Island Xtreme Stunts game was designed by the people who made Island 2 as well.

I like the colors and pieces in Island Xtreme Stunt. It had some nice orange and blue, and some occasional chrome that popped up here and there.

redacted Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Man I loved LEGO Island 1. Such a great game. It's a shame a lot of those buildings were closed... I hear they were intended to have content, but the developers never got around to it.And the Info Center's balcony has EPIX music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleidoscope Tekulo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Haha, I remember getting Pepper in a set a while back. The dude with the food didn't disappoint, either. He's awesome. ^^ But, I gotta say, the second game didn't really hold up as well as I would have liked. I still need to replay the first one though. ^^; It's been awhile.Even so, I still listen to Brick by Brick. I think it's my favorite song from my childhood (or one of my favorites anyway).

Tacku Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I love LEGO Island.LEGO Island was my first favorite game. LEGO Island: Xtreme Stunts was also excellent in my opinion as it combines the linear story of LI2 with the freestyle play of LI1. Quote Proud Mac User!

UltraHau Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) What happened to Lego Island 3, Tacku? Is development halted or something? It's been one of the FCGs I pay close attention to over the years, and I'd be really sad to see it die. :(EDIT: Post #200!

V.M.Torious 4.0 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Well, I am a fan of Lego Island! I have the first two games on PC, and the third one (Island Xtreme Stunts) on Game Boy Advance! I was able to beat the last two games, but not the first one (after playing it on Windows XP I gave up because it performed poorly on my computer) due to the poor accuracy of the pizza/doughnut launcher on the helicopter during the Brickster chase mission. Every time I play those games it takes me back to my childhood, despite not owning any of the Xtreme Stunts sets. I hope that Lego does a remake/reboot of Lego Island for those next-generation game consoles and the iPhone/Android/Nintendo 3DS soon! http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png~ VM4.0 Edited November 21, 2011 by V.M.Torious 4.0 Quote Vakama Montana's Chronicles: The Official Blog of V.M.Torious 4.0!

P962 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I got into the Lego Island franchise through the gameboy versions of lego island and Island Extreme Stunts. I never did get past one of the final levels in the latter though. I also have one of IES sets. Quote A Toa eh? What kind of Toa am I?

Lair of Rockwhales Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) I have all three Island games. I liked One and Three a lot. I play One a lot still, and I got the 100% trophy in Three. I only beat the levels as best as I could in Two because I found that game uninteresting, dull and just plain dumb.I find LI2 much better than the first one.>: O Edited December 2, 2011 by Lair of Rockwhales Quote GREEN RED BRICK, YOU STAY!!! ...are you ready to le Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
