I hate to say it but I bought this game thinking it would be fun a joy to play. But it flat out sucked. I mean in the beginning it was alright then later on it started to get boring and boring as I went along. Then some people do buy it for the creativity factors. But if you do buy this game buy a fresh memory card with it because for every monster you make it takes up I think it somewhere between 5-20 blocks (I traded it in for spider-man 2 and budokai 2). Don't buy it unless you have extreme patience and a decent allowance.

Dumbest game in THE WORLD!!!!!! :-(

This is the dumbest game ever, no questions asked. I thought Sega would do a better job for a game like this! Let me explain my experience:

Well, first of all, I rented this game (good thing too) and I came home excited to play it because I'm really into monsters, and creating and customizing stuff. Well so I played it and I hated it. That's all there is to be said about "Stupid, stupid, stupid Amazing Island!!!!!" It's a good thing I only rented it, because I almost wanted to buy it before I knew what it was like. :-( DON'T RENT OR BUY IT! DON'T PLAY IT, PERIOD!

Amazing piece of crap

This game sucks so much. The little amount of voice acting is horrible.The graphics sucks too.The customozation is great. You run around playing sorta fun games and that's it over and over again collecting new monster bodies to defeat black evil.Dragon,Hero,Dog,Hamster,Dinousaur and kid are the bodies. Are kid's monsters. You also play a GBA card game which is good. Stay away from this game if you know what is good for you.

worst game ever

THIS GAME SOUNDS NICE, BUT IT ISN'T! I got stuck on my second battle of a race! It sounded so awesome when I rented it! "AMAZING ISLAND!" Catching, eh? Just to suck people in to WASTE CASH! Don't listen to the other reviews! It's plain out horrible! The plot is bad, and the only good thing is making ugly monsters!

Refrain from makin a stupid cartoon, make another mario game

Ok, let me start off by saying that this game is a very poorly developed game. The creators and publishers of this game should be very disappointed. Yippee, we made a piece of junk! I hear the profits will be $10 because only stupid ol' blockbuster will buy the game! That is what I probably would've said after creating this heap of metal. When you create monsters, they all look the same and have the same color. Then you have BUY the colors at the shop. You can only have one blob at a time. The minigames are very EASY and you will beat it in one day, double the amount of time it took me.

Of Low Quality

Well, this game does have it's good points, but those are cancelled out by the negative. Plainly said, it is low quality. Of course, the prospect of drawing your own monster is simply a great, creative idea! But, the rest falls short. The mini-games I have to say are weak, as the rest.

And did anyone else notice how the kid on the cover of the game isn't in the actual game?!?! (or at least as far as I've gone. I got bored easily.)

Fun but shallow title.

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.

Its a good game but.........

Quest game for kids

I gave this game three stars because before you can even begin to go questing, you have to outfit and modify what appears to be a lizard/dragon helper and that's fairly time consuming. The game also starts slow, but gets better as you go on, playing through mini-game type challenges and talking to the characters you encounter. It's fun modifying and outfitting your own lizard/dragon helper with the items provided, though. It's good for kids, but not for anyone that plays Zelda-level quest games.
