I played the original Lemmings game when it came out a long time ago (15 years?). I enjoyed it quite a bit and so when Lemmings 2 came out I bought that game as well. It was a huge improvement over the original with tons of different styles of Lemmings to use. This Lemmings revolution game is a big step backward. There are only a few types of Lemmings to use and the interface seems fairly clunky. It is not intuitive how to scroll around the giant cylinder trying to watch the Lemmings doing their endless march. If you have never played Lemmings then you might enjoy this game, but if you have then go back and play your old version instead of buying this one.

Even though the case says Windows98/XP, the manual says Windows 95/98. this game keeps stopping on my XP computer. I really thought it would use more advanced technology - it's so antiquated. And I agree, the circular format gets old after awhile. I really liked Lemmings 3-D with all of the different backdrop scenes to work with, but it won't play on this computer. We need a new Lemmings that works well on XP and is lots of fun! This is certainly better than no Lemmings at all, though.

I was hoping this would be a little more like the classic game and I was disappointed.

Ever played one of those games that you think, wow, even if it's about a decade old, it's still a solid game? Lemmings: Revolution is such a game. Even though its graphics are incredibly dated--the lemmings are drawn in pixels, not polygons--the gameplay is basically the exact same as the original Lemmings from way back when, and the sound effects seem downright childish at times, this game still has a power to suck you in and not let you go until you finally solve that friggin' puzzle. And then it's off to the next puzzle for you!

Believe me, you are gonna have to be on your toes to solve these puzzles. That goes especially true for the ones later in the game, some of which are real hair-raisers. But that's really what this game is all about: using the limited tools you have available to solve any problem the game throws your way. All of the levels are solvable, but it's going to be tough to keep that in mind at times! Honestly, this is about as intense of an intellectual game you'll find that isn't an actual math/English/history tutorial DVD. Though it may sounds as if this would scare moset people away, this is actually the very attribute that keeps drawing you in, instilling that "Just one more level!" attitude. If you're looking for something to mindlessly churn through, avoid this game like the plague, because that's exactly what Lemmings: Revolution is not.

(FYI, for those who can't get the game to run, you have to run it in Administrator mode. I have no clue why, but that has to be done.)

The first time I played this game was the first release I thought it's a unique game original. After a few years they release this version which was a big upgrade newer thing added. I am very found with game I wish there were going to be a new version for it.

This game or versions of it have been around for a along time and I am glad I found it on Amazon in a version that would play on XP. Great deductive thinking game in a fun way. Not for the little ones but I would guess 10 years through adult. Great fun!

Arrived in great condition, quicker than what the site stated. I love the lemmings and this came quickly and in great shape.

nothing like the orignal but in a turning motion. it is still a fun game for a single person or for the whole family.

If I didn't know this game was used, I would not have known. Lemmings took my, now adult kids, back to a fun age with no responsibilities...LOL. Thank you, the game is perfect..

I was a player of the original Lemmings that we loaded from a dos prompt. I used to love the litttle critters. However, my old disks do not work with the Windows systems and the newer machines no longer take the old floppies. Then I went looking for newer versions of the game and came across "Lemmings Revolution". It is everything I was looking for. So far I am enjoying every moment of play. However, I have not gotten too far into the game yet.
