History YMMV / LEGOIsland

** Don't forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNSDo__LPQU the bad ending scene.]]

** ''Just'' the chase? No way, man. The '''[[http://www.youtube.com/user/spyfoxguy#p/c/B97121C540589410 whole soundtrack]]''' of the first game was a [=CMoA=]. I personally like the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7dk-qP4bJM Information Center's theme]].

* BetterThanItSounds

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: ''LEGO Island 2'' is a rather ContestedSequel, but ''Xtreme Stunts'' fixed almost every problem it had, making the load times short, adding lots of replay value, running without many glitches (with the exception of Motorbike Mayhem), and explaining the mini-games much more clearly.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: LEGO Island 2. '''AND HOW'''!

But...
** TheyChangedItNowItSucks - Most people who played the first and second games as children (or even as parents) (see NostalgiaFilter above) are horrified by Xtreme Stunts. DRIVERS LICENSES?! AND A COASTLINE?! AND ''PEPPER HAS FRIENDS''?! AND WHERE THE '''HELL''' ARE CAPTAIN D. ROM AND PETE BOG?!

* GannonBanned: The radio announcer in the first game says "[=LEGO=]s" at one point, even though {{LEGO}} has made it clear they hate using that term and prefer "LEGO bricks".

* NostalgiaFilter: A lot of the series' fans openly admit that they love it mostly because they played it as a kid.
** The second game probably gets hit with this the most. It had LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading, was very unclear on what to do, glitchy physics, dull voice acting, mediocre graphics (too many textures instead of actual geometry), and boring animations. Despite this, people will still say that it was as good as the first, sometimes better.

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: In the first game, there's a hidden, haunted cave on the side of the mountain that's actually pretty creepy for a game about a building toy, especially if you're within the game's target audience. The ghostly meowing of the cat spectre in the chest is especially unnerving. There's also the [[DemBones bigass skeleton]] in the racetrack who's swinging legs can knock you off the bridge he's floating above. The sequel has Ogel Island, a poorly-constructed replica of Lego Island [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE!]]

* ContestedSequel: ''Lego Island 2''. Some like the change in gameplay style, but most will say the only saving grace is [[NostalgiaFilter nostalgia]].

* MemeticMutation: The first Lego Island game will always have issues with the "do you want to exit the game" sequence. Triggering that sequence and then going back to another part of the island can cause the Infomaniac to start looping phrases ("Are you ready to le-" "Green red brick, you stay!"). For no apparent reason at all, these have become popular in the fandom.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The Brickster in ''Xtreme Stunts'' during the minigames in a nutshell: "Hey! I'm not even in top gear yet! Whoo-whee! Hey, didn't someone tell you there's a second gear? Dis is too easy! Taste my bruning rubber! WHAAAA-HA-HA-HA!"
