Amazing Island (Nintendo GameCube, 2004)

My 10 and 7 year old children love this game. Its a bit like Spyro, Crash, those kinds of games but the difference (and their favorite part) is that they can design their own creature who plays with you in the game. You earn points and such and as those grow, your options for type of creature (dinosaurs, etc) and accessories (spikes, horns, colors, sneakers-which help them run faster in the game,etc) grow as well. They like the action parts but they prefer to spend their time (and memory card blocks:) creating and designing one creature after another. After renting it just once and for only 2 days, we got on ebay and picked one up immediately. Fun game!

Amazin Island is a cute game - geared toward younger game players who like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-oh! games. I bought this game two years ago for my pre-teen daughter and she still loves to play it. My son loved the game so much I just bought another game to give him for Christmas this year. If your child likes to created their own cute monsters and likes Japanese/anime games, this would be a great addition to their game cube collection. :)

It's a fun, short game that is probably worth the cheap price it's available for these days. The most fun is designing the monsters; the mini games are pretty much an after thought.

If you like to be creative, this is a good game. The gameplay isn't spectacular, but the fact that you get to create your own monster is really cool. Drawing how each body part will look, picking the skin colour, eyes, accessories, and everything else is a lot of fun.

This game was pretty cool! I personally liked the monster editor...it was awesome! The graphics and sounds are simple, as is the story line, but it was awesome all the same
