Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge - Game Boy Color

LEGO Island 2 features the return of the dastardly Brickster--once again he's loose on the island and up to no good, and you portray a pizza delivery boy who must stop him. The game takes place in LEGO world--the world of the toy sets--so you won't be doing any brick building yourself. Basically you've got to solve puzzles, deliver items to access new areas, bump mummies and other monsters to defeat them (you can also stun them with your, ahem, pizza gun) and explore the huge game world. Fortunately it features a battery backup so memorising or writing down long codes to save your progress isn't necessary.

The game is busy work; it isn't particularly challenging, though there is a bit of problem-solving thrown in. It's perfect for a car trip or some other time when you'd like your children seen and not heard, but there's nothing educational or redeeming here. But since when has LEGO not been about busy work? --Andrew S. Bub
