When you are building the vehicles, things are pretty cut and dry. Unfortunately, there's just not a whole lot of building.

Luckily, the existing content is cheerful and pleasant. The entire Lego brand is about stacking bricks together to create cool things, and while that's here in small bursts, it doesn't feel like a focus. You do get the chance to build a few vehicles, but Lego Island is more about exploration than creation. The only big disappointment in terms of gameplay is the lack of actual Lego creation.

Besides races and deliveries, you can also assist as an ambulance driver, and take on the Brickster. There aren't many missions to speak of instead, the game offers a handful of mini-games and lets you choose. There's an emphasis on simply relaxing and seeing things at your own pace. Besides delivering pizza at the pizzeria, you can build a helicopter at the police station, build your own car and race at the speedway, and much more. Using either the arrow keys or mouse to move, you can check out the different shops and locations while taking in the sights. Once you've chosen your character, you'll explore Lego Island from a first-person perspective. Each have their own personality, and it's fun to play the game with each. As the player, you have the choice of playing as any one of these five characters. These gritty cops run the Lego Island Police Station, and are constantly on the watch for the villainous Brickster. These three family members run the Lego Island pizzeria, where you can deliver pizzas! Additionally, there's the police couple, Nick and Laura Brick. There's Mama Roni, Papa Roni, and Pepper Roni. You're introduced to the world and it's five main characters. You start your adventure in the Lego Island Information Center.

Much like the toy-brand it's based on, Lego Island encourages creativity, curiosity, and a generally wacky attitude. There are a handful of unique locations to check out, and a variety of fun mini-games to enjoy. Instead, this unique Lego experience allows players to choose between five characters and explore the nifty Lego Island at their own pace.

Unlike modern Lego titles, Lego Island isn't based on an existing media property or packed with coop levels. Lego Island is a fun and relaxed Lego adventure, developed by Mindscape and released in 1997.
