Great game, annoying issues

I love lemmings games in general, and this game is no exception, it is very fun to play. But there are two majorly annoying things about this game. One, is that everytime I start the game, I have to sit through a two minute AVI. No way to skip it. Pressing ESC, or any other key doesn't do it. So I burned a CD-ROM copy and replaced all the AVI files with blank AVIs. Problem solved (for me). Second issue: it runs ONLY at 640x480. Which means each pixel is 1/4" square on my 20" monitor (do the math). I don't think anyone ever made a 3D accelerator (required to run the game) that doesn't support 800x600, or even 1024x768. And unless you have an old 80386 machine with 8 Megs of RAM, you can most likely get good framerates even at 1024x768 (this is not QuakeIII, it is a cylinder fixed in the middle of the screen, with little lemmings walking around on it). Very annoying.

Worse than original Lemmings, considerably worse than Lemmings 2

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.

Excellant Puzzle game for PC!! Addiction Personified!

This game doesn't do too much to the Original Lemmings so maybe 'Revolution' was not an appropiate name for it. It does look and feel fantastic to play on the turning wheel mechanism with a very easy earling curve and interface.

But beware - It DOES get tough and you will do well to complete all 200 levels (yes 200!)

Reviews of this game were not to hot but this is one of the most addicitve games I've played in ages. Even my girlfriend (who is not a big games fan) is hooked and wont stop till the level is completed!!

Theres not much to this game but the levels are well designed and its great for all Lemmings fans.

The game hasn't evolved too much with 3d advances, new ideas and originlity. Many people may decide that this is just a cash in but I got mine for £19.99 so it wasn;t at full price.

Its definitely more of the same with great graphics and gameplay.

Pure addiction! Goodbye social life!

Classic wich'll never die

You can't imagine how long I waited for a sequel to lemmings; the classic wich'll never die. Years. And finally I found out there's Lemmings Revolution. I bought it immediately. And loved it.

This game is absolutely great; almost as great as the original's, but pretty close it gets. And that's quite much, considering the "hype". It has the same skills as the original, but with few new twists--- I won't spoil them to you :)

This game is a puzzle; and a hard one. Me, as a veteran of Lemmings -games, finished this but it took a fine two weeks. And many many hours. For beginners this is gonna be tough one. If you have never heard of lemmings let me brief you. In lemmings you control a group of helpless cuties; Lemmings ( of course :) trying to lead them to the exit from the start. It sounds simple, but it isn't... You're gonna agree :) Buy this, because Lemmings never die...

A classic, worth five stars. Buy this and the originals as well ( I saw a window 95 -versions package of them )

doesn't work well

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.

Not as fun as the old one

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

Another great Lemmings game

For those of you new to Lemmings, they are puzzle-solving games (that get really difficult) that don't really require co-ordination. All in all, this is a great, mind-taxing, highly addictive game! If you know the other Lemmings games and liked them, you'll like this one too. This game has some new stuff; there are several different types of lemmings - some can walk on water - which helps complicate the puzzle-solving. Also, all the puzzles are rotated on a cylinder, which gets a bit annoying and doesn't really add anything. By the way, I don't have either of the problems that Hamid has. The game works just fine for me.

GOTTA LOVE THOSE LEMMINGS!

I was totally addicted to the first versions which for me were DOS overlayed on windows - and had a ton of glitches. I was thrilled when this came out and like the rest think it's a blast but VERY addicting. I love the pause feature which allows you to make changes and I love the zoom. I also agree that the circular layout doesn't add much - but the 3-d effects are great. This is totally worth the money. I think the puzzles are very creative - if not frustrating but when you finally solve them - it's pretty darn great! Can't wait for the next version.

Lemmings Revolution is the best Lemmings game out there. The old lemmings just dont cut it compared to this one. With all new puzzles this game never gets boring.

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.
