It's Amazing!Sep 05, 2004
(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.

Fun but shallow title.Nov 22, 2004
By Brett Johnson 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.

Making monstersJul 30, 2005
By C. Moran In this game, you can make any kind of monster you want from scratch! I mean, you could draw a milk carton and slap eyes on it and us it as your monster! There are many different colors and patterns you can use for your monster, too! You can add tons of accessories like gloves, claws, wings, horns, ect. It's a very fun game and i highly recomend it!

Pretty Fun!Aug 08, 2005

This game is cool! Perfect for kids/adults who LOVE creating and accessorizing them! The challenges have a great twist! And for the people who don't like it,have no creativity! Have fun playing!
