Product Description

Attempt to raise a special Kaiju creature in order to protect the Island of the Kaiju from the evil Black Evil who attempts the heinous crime of controlling the island. The main focus of the game seems to be its Kaiju Editor, which allows you to quickly create a completely unique Kaijuu. The game starts by asking you a series of multiple-choice questions such as "What's the best part of going on a trip?" Based on your responses, you receive an initial Kaijuu which can be modified to your liking, by selecting pre-set parts and actually stepping in to fine tune things using a digital pen. Links to GBA.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Amazing!, September 4, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Amazing Island (Video Game)

(I'm only using the kid's form because of the way this site is set up...oy...)
This game is your basic "train and fight monsters" scenario, with the ability to race, do a "Beyblade style" fight, etc. But... The customization is the best I've ever seen! It's not like the so called "Custom modes" in other games where you can like, switch parts or colours, but you actually DRAW your creature and make it your own. Trust me. Pick up this game, grab a memory card 1019, and customize your world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but shallow title., November 21, 2004

This review is from: Amazing Island (Video Game)

I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of the Sega developers who worked on "Super Monkey Ball 2" were involved with this game. It has a very similar feel to it and some of the cute sound effects are identical. Another important feature to both of those games: FUN!

The "story" that gives you your reason for playing has something to do with a magical world. Humans used to live there harmoniously with some other creatures but something happened. Humans haven't lived there in over a thousand years and they have pretty much forgotten that the other world even exists. You need to collect 8 orbs and defeat the Black Evil to make everything better again. It's not much of a story but...

Anyway, you are given a partner which has to make its way through seven obstacle courses. Whether you can successfully navigate through these courses will depend on how well you can quickly push the A button and whether you have a good sense of timing or not. That's about all.

I know it doesn't sound like much but it had myself and three kids of varying ages transfixed. What makes this title one which I would recommend is the feature which allows you to create your own sidekick. You can virtually draw it freehand on the screen, make it whatever color/design you want and accessorize it with countless items. You'll literally spend as much (or even more) time creating your partner than actually playing the rest of the game.

If you like "alternative" games that stray a bit off the path of what you expect and encourage creativity then "Amazing Island" is a great deal as long as you get it discounted. I beat this game in less than two days so please don't spend too much money on it even if it sounds like a fun title to you.
