Keeping in mind that I played literally hundreds of games so far, (some good, some bad), I've become quite spoilt with games; so far, out of 50 games I play, I usually only like one or two to the extent of me actually playing on and on to complete them. Usually, I get fed up by the annoying gameplay, or the repetitiveness of the game in general.

Having played several other LEGO games as well, I found that LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts successfully combines a lot of different genres, to bring the LEGO world to life. I found this title quite refreshing; not only can the character walk and swim around this unique island; he can also use his skateboard, or drive/fly/sail using vehicles found on the island. Additionally, the stunts really do combine a lot of genres: race and trash the opponent on land, sea or even in the air! Solve interesting logic puzzles or just use your skateboard to go about the island, performing neat tricks as you go.
Whereas I found other PC game titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, The Need for Speed and Crazy Taxi a bit boring and repetitive, LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts manages to combine all these games, and successfully place it in a world based on the LEGO universe, balancing the game so it never becomes boring.

I caught myself playing this game for hours. IMO, the bottom line for this game is the fact that it's a great deal, figuring the graphics are OK, the sound rocks ('radio'-music along the lines of GTA3 is present), and the gameplay never gets old. I'd recommend this game to anyone, seeing this package offers a great mixture of a lot of games, yet being very well priced.

Xtreme Problems  Feb 28, 2006

The only complaint I have about this game is that it doesn't work on some computers, like Gateway laptops. It never loads. It just never loads. I waited half an hour and it just froze. But the gameplay is pretty fun and easy (Except that if you push jump to many times, StickyKeys comes up. I'd advise you to change the key to N) and the graphics are ok. If you like racing, it's an okay game.

I disagree with most people about this review. This game is my favorite game of all time! You just can't beat it! For your information StickKeys can be easily changed on your computer's settings. REMEMBER, switch the game back and forth from time to time with Windows 98/Me and XP Standard Pack 2, mess around with the settings, to see which one works best with your computer.Always run as administrator. And watch out for glitches like, walking past the Res-Q dish too many times, or jumping on Brian Shrimp too much. Don't jump on a skateboard into water and don't get off a vehicle parked next to another vehicle. Don't steal Studz Linkin's car too many times, and don't download the game from any website whatsoever. That's all I have to say! Awesome game! 5/5 stars!!!!!

ISLAND XTREME STUNTS  Feb 13, 2006

This game is the best Lego game ever. However, it requires an outrageous video card. It crashed several times on my computer. If you have a Dell, it won't load motorbike mayhem, one of the five sub-games. Otherwise, it's outrageously fun! You can explore the island and get your licenses, ride your skateboard, talk to people, or maybe smash pizza in people's faces! This game is cool!

really cool game, works great!  Dec 05, 2003

this game was awesome!! the different sub-games are exciting and exploring the island was cool. the only problem was that it's not possible to delete games that are maessed up. otherwise, this game rocks!
