Lego Island 2 puts you in the role of 'Pepper', a skateboarding pizza delivery boy caught up in a chase to capture a nefarious criminal who's gotten loose on Lego Island... In the course of doing this, you'll have to explore a bit, race a bit and joust a bit among other things in a wide variety of wacky mini-games. I have seen games that play in a similar manner before, such as 'Incredible Crisis'. I am sure that there's a new genre there somewhere, but I have neither heard of a term for it nor can I think of a good one. Let's just say that you'll have to do a lot of different little tasks to work your way through the game. If you find a mini-game that you really enjoy, you can easily play it again by selecting it on Pepper's computer (in his house).
Also, even after you finish the game, the citizens of Lego Island invite you to stay a while and have fun on the island. And, there actually is a bit of fun to be had there - you can jump in the various vehicles and drive them around if you like. Also, by pressing the 'Select' button, you can change other people's appearances and a lot of the elements of the landscape. These changes are then saved when you save your game. After finishing the game, I decide to embark on a mission to change the entire island into one big pizza place. I changed every tree, flower, street sign and what have you into a umbrella covered table like the ones at the pizza place. If I happened upon another Lego person in my quest, I put a chef's hat on them. No, you don't get points for it, nor are you congratulated with any FMV when you get done, but then I used to play with Legos when I was a kid and there wasn't any goal other than my curiosity then, either.
