It just means that you will be unlikely to spend more than a few hours playing this game before you’re able to finish it entirely or grow bored of the repetition in each. This doesn’t take away from the fun whatsoever the missions are still fun to complete and driving each vehicle feels like it was carefully designed. Though the controls are smooth for each, there’s no real variation in the courses nor innovation to be found. Once you’ve played one mission with a given type of vehicle, you have basically played them all. This is where gameplay gets rough, though. Your only true goal in the game is to finish all the challenges the island has to offer. There are several different types of missions to complete, each with their own vehicles to use. The gameplay mechanics are solid despite being simplistic. It is simultaneously laid back and action packed, which creates a fun atmosphere.
Additionally, outside of these missions, you are given free reign to explore the island and complete miscellaneous challenges as you go. Accordingly, as a stuntman, you are able to ride motorcycles and skateboards, smash around cars, fly airplanes, and surf the waves using a wave runner to your heart’s content.
The developers very clearly knew what they were doing and put all of that extra effort into the gameplay instead. In terms of plot, there really is no major overarching story to pay attention to, but don’t let that deter you. Island Xtreme Stunts is almost like a kid’s version of Grand Theft Auto in terms of action, though there are, unsurprisingly, a lot of elements that are vastly different concerning violence and, well, you know. While there’s a lot to do on the island from racing to surfing, this game is probably best suited for younger players because of the amount of repetition involved among missions despite how much fun they may be. As a stuntman in the Lego world, there are an endless number of stunts that you can pull off to keep yourself busy in this sequel to the LEGO Island series, though the Brickster is no longer around to interfere with the fun. What better way to achieve that than by picking up LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts and get that fix without any of the risk? Okay, maybe the game won’t quite get your adrenaline pumping, but this title from Lego Interactive in 2002, while simplistic in execution, still holds up well today. Everyone needs a healthy dose of an adrenaline rush every now and then.
