Great Remake!

This was one of my favorite games back in the day, and the psp overhaul has definitely done it justice. The backgrounds and graphics are beautiful, the music has been updated and the new music is nice and ambient. It has all of the original stages, ~35 brand new stages, a complex level editor, and best of all, you can download other people's created stages so the fun never ends!

Not too challenging but worth the price of admission

I spent hours and hours playing Lemmings in the various forms. When I heard it was being released for the PSP a few years back, I put the PSP on my wish list. With a family of five, money is tight, and I just now got around to picking it up. Next to my Archos video player, the PSP is the best purchase I've ever made.

Lemmings was my first game purchase and I certainly don't regret it. It was everything I hoped it would be. If there is any disappointment, it's that the levels are a little too easy. Although there are 156 levels, you can discount the first 60 because they are WAY too easy. I was also able to burn through the 36 new levels created specifically for the PSP. I figured they'd gradually get more difficult but that really wasn't the case.

The controls are easy to learn. One great feature is the ability to pause the game and select a lemming and then restart. This resolves any issue of not being able to move the cursor fast enough. Oddly, I thought the analog stick would be the natural choice in moving the cursor, but it was the d-pad. Just an odd design choice, in my opinion... You will also wear out the fast forward button.

Overall, I think this game is four-star. It loses a star for not having more unique levels and more challenging levels. That being said, if you are looking for a puzzle game for younger kids, this probably isn't it. They might enjoy the first 30 levels which are so easy a monkey could solve them, but after that it will be too difficult for them. I might try to create some age-appropriate levels for my kids. But I think this game is for older kids or adults. My next step is to figure out how to download user-created levels. I am sure some of those will be more difficult.

I bought this game for my son. He likes to play it. Small characters are the only minus in that game.

Suicidial Creatures are FUN

Lemmings is a game in which you help little cretures get to one point. Sounds easy right, well your dead wrong. These cretures die if they fall in water, from a big height lava, or mechanical deathtaps. Your job is assigning different lemmings to do a certain job. The jobs are listed, climbers, umbrellas, stoppers, bombers, diggers, shoverlers, miners, and stair builders. The most humorus of all jobs is bombers in which they kill themselves with bombs.
As you would think it is easy as go on and then as you progress it gets harder. There are over 120 different levels including 36 new levels. It is a extremly fun game until you get to the last couple of levels were it gets so hard you just want to break the whole game.
IF you want a fun game look towards Lemmings. But expect diffuculty
PS. Sorry about my bad spelling

Stunning graphics and amazingly intuitive controls

I was amazed at how sharp and beautiful the graphics were upon starting up this game on the PSP. What shocked me even more was how intuitive the controls were. Even though this game is over a decade old, it is the perfect PSP pick up and play game. the PSP wide-screen enhances one's ability to follow the action. The number of levels is almost infinite as you can create your own levels and also download levels from others (I have yet to be able to connect to try this out) and also download additional offical levels from the official website. Combined with Me and My Katamari, Lemmings makes for a must have for addictive puzzle fans on the PSP.

Not your typical PSP game

This game is really great fun for people of all ages. There's no real violence (well, lots of lemmings die, but the goal is to save them!) and no dialogue at all. The point of the game is to get the lemmings to a safe house, but they all follow each other. In most levels, you have to prevent them from walking off cliffs, drowning, etc. by using tools or skills that you're given. For instance, you could build stairs, or open an umbrella while jumping off a cliff to lighten your fall. Stuff like that. The easy levels are really easy and the hard ones are really challenging, so there's fun for all. My only complaint is that the lemmings are so tiny on the screen, even though you can magnify.

Great logic training and puzzle fun

We have loved Lemmings since their very first game. The concept is simple and oh so fun. You are responsible for saving the dutiful little green-haired creatures from nasty death.

Let me first say that the whole idea of lemmings following each other over a cliff is a MYTH!! This was a FAKE scene filmed by Disney (of all people) for the 1958 film Wild Wilderness. They imported lemmings to Alberta, Canada and forced them over a cliff for dramatic storytelling. Real lemmings don't do this!

Still, it makes for a fun computer game. The lemmings march along in a line. You can turn individual lemmings into climbers, bashers, or other types in order to avoid lava, water and other obstacles. Really, you don't need great graphics for lemmings, because it is all about logic and puzzle solving.

However, I was really impressed by the graphics they did offer. The backgrounds are in motion and add to the feel of the level. The level walls and pillars are very detailed in some situations.

The sounds are also not really important - it's more cartoony than realistic. You hear your little lemmings call out "Yippee!" when they get to the goal, or make various "glub" noises as they sink, fall, burn up, or get smashed.

There are a full set of "original" games, which my boyfriend remembers from the PC version, as well as new games custom for this PSP. Not only that, but there is a full level editor included so that you can create your own levels. I found the interface a bit clunky - but it certainly worked, and if you put some effort into it, you could create amazing levels.

On the other hand, they say to go to a website to download levels. I went both to the official Lemmings site as well as to the one they list, and there were no levels to download. I did this in mid-June, so the game had been out for a while. It was a bit deflating to find nothing new to play.

There are certainly a ton of levels included - and some can be quite tricky. While you can probably whip through all of the easy levels in an afternoon, it will take longer and longer to figure out the other ones. It's great mental exercise! It really hones your logic skills. If only people would start uploading levels - or the lemmings creators would provide new ones - the game would be playable for more than say a month.
