This game seemed less manic and cocaine-fueled when I was 8 years old. I also had the same brain snap as Barry when that Kathleen N. Right song started playing. I'm going to go cry in a wine glass as I contemplate the loss of my childhood.

It's strange. The controls are less awful and the world is bigger, but it's still somehow so inferior to the first game. As a collector of old LEGO games, I also have a love for the LEGOLand game. Sure, it was a bit of a Roller Coaster Tycoon knockoff, but it was more affordable for my poor family at the time.
T3hShad0ws As a kid it was awesome. I mean, I always got stuck on the part after the midevil section or whatever (because I was a kid), but still, it was a nice evolution from Lego Island.
Yep. Sadly I like Lego Island 2. I have NO REASON to like it. I played it as a kid and thought it was just kinda cool. It's nostalgic to me and it's an absolutely awful game.
ReiAime Faster than a skateboard, bigger than a bike, louder than a DJ scratchin' all night! Pedal to the metal, hecka Lego squeal! You're in the driver's seat when you're behind the wheel!
It's clear that Ross hates this game, but he doesn't want to hurt his feelings. If Arin was playing with Barry right now, this would have been a completely different series.
Lol, this is such bullshit. He doesn't hate this game, he's just never seen how crappy it actually is. The only reason people are like OMG LEGO ISLAND YESSSS is blinding nostalgia.
Webber Shall I list off a load of games that aren't actually as good as people make them out to be, but are regarded as masterpieces because of nostalgia?
When I was a lad, I went on Autopia and the path changes from time to time. SO, while I was on the ride; the path COMPLETELY changed and had me go right. There was a gate that lead directly back towards the entrance of the line. I honesty thought that the ride had broken and I was about to break threw the gate and mow down the people walking around. Basically, I inched forward VERY SLOWLY to make sure that I wasn't going to hit the gate; but if I did I would scream for park help. Needless, to say, the ride turns left back onto the main path and no one was run over. Happiest Place on Earth (that drives up anxiety).
The top ten most painful things in the world: 10: Stepping on a lego brick 9: Swallowing a lego brick 8: Getting your fingers squeezed by lego bricks 7: playing with lego for 4 hours 6: falling into a bed of lego bricks 5: getting a lego brick in your eye 4: Getting punched by a fist made of lego bricks 3: Getting crushed by a tower of lego bricks 2: Getting penetrated by a lego brick 1: Stepping on a lego brick... barefooted.
This is possibly one of the most closure filled moments of my life. I've paused the video at 9:37. I've had the song "Brick by Brick" stuck in my head for the last 14 years. If he plays it, I may explode.
WarthogRacer I never got to try out that feature as a kid sadly. I spent many an afternoon leaving that game on for 8 hours at a time to build up my population. Then I'd name every single one of them. I still have my copy of it somewhere. Maybe I'll send it to them.
In first grade, whenever we had to have recess inside, we used to crowd around an old, grey, Windows 98 laptop in the classroom which had a copy of Lego Island with it. It was fun doing the races or catching the Brickster with the other kids cheering you on.
I've played this game almost all my childhood and I do know a few tricks with the game. Especially how to skip over those annoying Bill Ding bits during when you're building a vehicle, just click on the Spacebar whenever he pops up and he just instantly dissapears. Try that, and if that dosen't work, click either Enter or Shift. That should do it. ;)
The space bar was your friend Pressing it once when characters talk to you will let you move around while they speak, pressing it again will shut them up
This was my childhood. Man... I had a lot of imagination way back as a kid. Games like these... you tend to invent your own lil adventures. How the years fly by. Despite the year when this was made: it holds up well in a unique way. It's hard to say how. Lemme just say that it's an interesting experience. You kind of accept the weirdness of it all as a kid.
Oh my god I'm crying with how hilariously surreal this whole experience is. I love that Ross is hating it and just is so freaked out. Its so worth it. Please do a full LP of this. It demands it.
I played Lego Island 2 when I was a kid. I always forget that I'm the same age as Berry. Whenever he mentions something from his childhood, I realize it's from my childhood too.
the daughtor of my old babysitter (who didnt treat me very well) had a Lego game. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was, but I did some googleing and Im pretty sure it the second lego island game that she had. All i remember is going around on a skate board. Thanks Steam Train!
I remember a fun little way to break the game by flying in circles around the island at top speed in the helicopter and then dismounting while you're doing that, and the helicopter will continue to fly in circles around the island. The same goes for the jet ski. It was pretty amusing.
5:45 Barry obviously eating a hamburger during the jetsky race, without Ross noticing. Barry: 'Go go go, ketchup, ketchup!' *Ross too focused to realize* Barry: 'You gotta ketchup' *shakes the bottle fiercely*
LOL. Now I remember how good DeVito was as the voice of the satyr guy in that one really good Hercules game for the playstation. It would totally fit the infomaniac!
I actually remember that Legoland driving thing Barry was talking about! I _did_ get to drive around the small model of Lego streets in a Lego car. Ahh Legoland... it was all right.
I don't even care that it's nostalgia that makes this game so fantastic, nothing had character and stuck in my mind as much as when I watched my brother playing this as a kid.
I remember driving a car at Legoland when I was 12! It was so much fun. I got my license at the end. xD Then I went on Autopia when I was 17 (after I had been driving a real car) and it was...lackluster, to say the least. I was stuck behind people the entire time. It was the 405 at rush hour simulator. Legoland driving>>>>>Disneyland driving
Yeah, I remember the Legoland driving school ride. And the boating one, too - teaching you which side of the coloured buoys you had to steer in the queue. Course, I went to Legoland Windsor, and I assume Barry went to some American one...
I can confirm that the waterski portion was ALWAYS like that. I played this on the SAME windows xp computer I did as a kid and it did that clipping as well. I guess you could say it was a small glitch they couldn't fix because of the power that this game took to run.
When I had Lego Island that weird Jet Skiing lady was freaking out as well, and that was while I was running it on an old version of windows so I doubt it was a glitch lol
I adored this game as a kid... and so you know, I played on Windows 95 back in the day... and yes, the girl on the jetski spazzed out in the original one. dunno if that was intended or not.
I think the surf rock song Ross was thinking of was the one that plays at the beginning of Pulp Fiction: Dick Dale and His Del Tones - Miserlou. It was sampled for the Black Eyed Peas song, Pump It.
I so relate with Barry in this series. Even if everything else in the game is dated, the sense of humor and music at least aren't, and it's pretty great.

This is my favorite game by Quentin Tarantino. So stoked they are playing it!

Worley, Clarence (1999): Pulp Fiction - The Genius of Quentin Tarantino
With all the decapitation, that's actually somewhat believable.
Quentin makes games?
I really want them to play LEGO Island 2. That game is a nightmare.
For different reasons than this one.
Didn't care for 2 I rented it and beat it in a few hours was so pissed.
It's strange. The controls are less awful and the world is bigger, but it's still somehow so inferior to the first game.

Oh! You mean the Diving thing, the Cedric the Bull battle or the Jousting game?
Yep. Sadly I like Lego Island 2. I have NO REASON to like it. I played it as a kid and thought it was just kinda cool. It's nostalgic to me and it's an absolutely awful game.

bruh, this game was ahead of its time 7:59 fking time warped himself somehow LMFAO
12:23 I thought it sounded like he was gonna start singing "Rolling around at the speed of sound..."
"Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow!"
JCBro2014 "Can't stick around, have to keep moving on"
Shamus TheKnight "Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out!"
JCBro2014 "Must keep on moving ahead,"
Shamus TheKnight "No time for guessin', follow my plan instead."

Webber Best Don't Starve Character.
Webber Shall I list off a load of games that aren't actually as good as people make them out to be, but are regarded as masterpieces because of nostalgia?
ESOFguy0134 Let's start with Super Mario 64
ESOFguy0134 The Original Half Life. Although interestingly the sequels to Half Life and Lego Island are still really good.
I can feel Barry and I connecting over this game on a spiritual level.
The only proper way to end this series is to give the Brickster pizza.
"now you're bald. goodbye" made me lol.
I try to keep my mouse hovered over theirs so it's like we're holding hands
maybe someday
Like, what a totally radical boat dude!
Except it's not even a boat, it's a waverunner.
Jet ski. My bad.
I would argue that most watercraft can be called boats, it's like saying "that's not a dog, it's a Golden Retriever"
Jjchestna or I don't have a car, I have a truck
Finally I can comment. My phone had a fuckup for some reason. Anyway, THIS GAME WAS MY CHILDHOOD AS WELL AS MY COUSIN'S!!!
....I loved this so much.
You having trouble loading comments on your phone too?
Aaron20201 I was too. It was saying comments were disabled. Weird
I had that problem too! I just thought it was my phone being stupid.
Mine too, updating the app fixed it though.
Wow. Glad to hear I'm not alone on this :)
I loved this series so much. LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts was like my favourite PS2 game.
I rike rice, I rike noodre
I rike rice, I rike noodre
I rike rice, I rike noodre
I rike rice, I rike noodre
*Chorus*
SUSHIIIIIIIIIII
Honestly, Barry's commentary over this whole series make me feel so good. It's like his nostalgia it's actually contagious. Thanks people for this :)
Oh my gosh it's been so long. The nostalgia! So many things you could do as a child!
This was literally the GTA for kids before GTA
When I was a lad, I went on Autopia and the path changes from time to time.
SO, while I was on the ride; the path COMPLETELY changed and had me go right.
There was a gate that lead directly back towards the entrance of the line. I honesty thought that the ride had broken and I was about to break threw the gate and mow down the people walking around.
Basically, I inched forward VERY SLOWLY to make sure that I wasn't going to hit the gate; but if I did I would scream for park help.
Needless, to say, the ride turns left back onto the main path and no one was run over.

_when I was a little girl in France..._ wait what?! O.o

6: falling into a bed of lego bricks
5: getting a lego brick in your eye
4: Getting punched by a fist made of lego bricks
3: Getting crushed by a tower of lego bricks
2: Getting penetrated by a lego brick
1: Stepping on a lego brick... barefooted.
you got penetrated by a lego brick i am so sorry
This is possibly one of the most closure filled moments of my life. I've paused the video at 9:37. I've had the song "Brick by Brick" stuck in my head for the last 14 years. If he plays it, I may explode.
The fact that Ross thinks that song is racist pretty much says that he's never known anyone Italian. We're REALLY proud of our food.
I was literally thinking the same exact thing.
You should be. Italian food is the best.
"Stoked" "drag?"
Is that guy making drug references in a kids game?
Ehm, no? Stoked means excited, duh.
Webber Sorry, I never drugged when I was younger
That One Guy I drank so many heroins in my youth.
PhantumFish But have you ever snorted a marijuana before?
PhantumFish Why would you drink female protagonists?
I played quite a few Lego games when I was young, Lego Island 1 & 2, Lego Rock Raiders PC, Lego Racing PS1, Lego Chess...loved them all
The Brickster killed my brother. What expect me to do? Give him a pizza?
I'm going to say this again. After they play this, they need to play Lego Loco. It's about trains!
I fucking had that game man.
I completely forgot about its existence until I saw this comment.
I actually had no idea that game existed until now. I remember Lego Racers though, that was a great (at least when you're a kid) game.
My brothers networked our computers together and sent postcards to each other.
WarthogRacer I never got to try out that feature as a kid sadly. I spent many an afternoon leaving that game on for 8 hours at a time to build up my population. Then I'd name every single one of them. I still have my copy of it somewhere. Maybe I'll send it to them.
OH my god. All I remember about Lego Loco was the horrifying noises pedestrians made when you picked them up. "EH??? AOUUUUUUU!!!!"
In first grade, whenever we had to have recess inside, we used to crowd around an old, grey, Windows 98 laptop in the classroom which had a copy of Lego Island with it. It was fun doing the races or catching the Brickster with the other kids cheering you on.
Thank you Kevin, for TURNING UP THE GAME DIALOGUE VOLUME when someone is referencing it; always been a pet peeve of mine.
I've played this game almost all my childhood and I do know a few tricks with the game. Especially how to skip over those annoying Bill Ding bits during when you're building a vehicle, just click on the Spacebar whenever he pops up and he just instantly dissapears.
Try that, and if that dosen't work, click either Enter or Shift. That should do it. ;)
Wait up a sec, how do you click a keyboard?
Demone just throw the mouse at it
Jjchestna OF COURSE! How the hell have i been using a computer before this?!
The space bar was your friend
Pressing it once when characters talk to you will let you move around while they speak, pressing it again will shut them up
i still love "Brick by Brick" even to this day but, im not surprised they shut it off immediately haha
This was my childhood. Man... I had a lot of imagination way back as a kid. Games like these... you tend to invent your own lil adventures. How the years fly by.

I laughed way too hard at the other jet skier vibrating violently at 5:44
Lego my heart. You're tearing me apart brick by brick
This game was amazing. Thanks for playing this and special shoutout to the people that sent it.
I played this as a kid, and I can confirm that it had the exact same feel back then, very distorted and yet I still found it fun.
Barry is really, really enjoying his nostalgic trip XD
I go to Legoland all the time and it's a dream to see game grumps there!
I played Lego Island 2 when I was a kid. I always forget that I'm the same age as Berry. Whenever he mentions something from his childhood, I realize it's from my childhood too.

This is the most nostalgic thing ever. God bless you guys.
God this is bringing back SO MUCH NOSTALGIA.
5:45 Barry obviously eating a hamburger during the jetsky race, without Ross noticing.
Barry: 'Go go go, ketchup, ketchup!'
*Ross too focused to realize*
Barry: 'You gotta ketchup' *shakes the bottle fiercely*
I used to love playing the music and gathering everyone in that area then runing through them to smash them to pieces
I remember being scared of the brickster when i was really young
At least I'm not the only one that got nightmares from the car race on that game as a child.... Boy I hope it isn't as terrifying as I remember it.
Taco cat backwards is still taco cat
Jesus said backwards sounds like meatball
Wow did you get that from facebook kiddo?
thatguywhoeatspancakes yes m80. Mi mum do not no I has a faze book be Im only 12 pls dont tel mi mum
Actually it's not, taco cat backwards is tac ocat.
It's actually Tac ocat.
I totally remember that race track. If you completed it, you got a legoland driver's license that cannot be used on the real road, lol. So much fun
OH MY GOD I LOVE THE RIDE THAT BARRY WAS TALKING ABOUT!
The race freaked me out when I was younger. It's still creapy in a trippy way
I wish Danny Devito would go back and voice the Infomaniac
LOL. Now I remember how good DeVito was as the voice of the satyr guy in that one really good Hercules game for the playstation. It would totally fit the infomaniac!
this playthrough is actually the smoothest i've ever seen this game run.
I actually remember that Legoland driving thing Barry was talking about! I _did_ get to drive around the small model of Lego streets in a Lego car. Ahh Legoland... it was all right.
I don't even care that it's nostalgia that makes this game so fantastic, nothing had character and stuck in my mind as much as when I watched my brother playing this as a kid.

Legoland driving>>>>>Disneyland driving
"Brick by Brick" is the best song on the Jukebox
Spent countless hours on this game. The 3d open world blew my prepubescent brain to bricks :P
When I was a kid, Putt Putt Saves The Zoo was godlike.
When I was a child playing this for the very first time I had a crush on Laura.
Watching this and playing LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge.
Yeah, I remember the Legoland driving school ride. And the boating one, too - teaching you which side of the coloured buoys you had to steer in the queue. Course, I went to Legoland Windsor, and I assume Barry went to some American one...
You should totally play Lego Island 2 ! I loved that game as a kid and it even has a storyline and EPIC music :D
"Life is a fever dream." Those are words to live by.
>Jukebox
Nek minnit EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
I'm with Barry going nostalgia crazy for that song.
the Bill Ding/Stu Pid bit was a lot funnier than it should have been
12:29 is straight up Green Day.
I think that "Bill Ding" at 2:42 is the voice of Michelangelo from 1987 Ninja Turtles
I remember listening to the jukebox waiting for the rest if the Lego island inhabitants and the roadkill them with my truck
Ah! My childhood, how I've missed you~
This is so nineties, it hurts....I love it
Despite Ross' being tone deaf, I knew he was thinking of Misserlou. I love that song and was one of the first riffs I learned on guitar.
Ross didn't paint the jetski yellow like a duck? SCRUBLORD.
The Legoland ride is still there!
Ross, the song you are thinking of is Miserlou. It is an eastern European folk tune that was played as surf rock for Pulp Fiction
Stu Pit is actually the perfect name for the racecar guy!
I don't know why I lost it at "He's a chef now"
I can confirm that the waterski portion was ALWAYS like that. I played this on the SAME windows xp computer I did as a kid and it did that clipping as well. I guess you could say it was a small glitch they couldn't fix because of the power that this game took to run.
o.O Glitch? Considering the game, I'm pretty sure that's 100% voluntary
Barlakopofai Yeah lol
I'm surprised the jukebox didn't have "Everything Is Awesome!"
That song didn't exist yet.
I knew that. Just sayin'...that would've made everything awesome!
Dont think they are going to update a 17 year old game(Iknowyouknow)
As a kid, this game was quite impressive.
Wasn't that gray block on the handle of the Jetski a map or something?
This is so many memories.
Props to Barry for recognizing Miserlou
"It's just a song about pasta" Nice.
I loved this game so much as a kid
The jousting in Lego Island 2 was an absolute nightmare.
Remembered a glitch from this game as a kid. If you go full speed on a vehicle and jump off of it, it'll drive around the map by itself.
I can't wait to see how they'll react to the race. It's pretty much the peak of the fever dream.
When I had Lego Island that weird Jet Skiing lady was freaking out as well, and that was while I was running it on an old version of windows so I doubt it was a glitch lol
Jesus that country tune from the jukebox brings back memories. I should learn how to play that solo.
I loved the car attraction at Legoland! It was the best!
I adored this game as a kid... and so you know, I played on Windows 95 back in the day... and yes, the girl on the jetski spazzed out in the original one. dunno if that was intended or not.
I think the surf rock song Ross was thinking of was the one that plays at the beginning of Pulp Fiction: Dick Dale and His Del Tones - Miserlou. It was sampled for the Black Eyed Peas song, Pump It.
oh, Barry said Miserlou
I loved the duke box, still love the songs. My favourite is the second one, that they listened to for like 3 seconds. Brick by Brick
4:20 I know exactly what you're talking about. I must have driven on that block two or three times. They give you a fake license at the end...
Omg please play Lego Alpha team. They would probably suck at it, but it was sooooo fun. The nostalgia is real this episode.
Is starbomb going to come out?
I haven't HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
also this game is TANOTTATANN.
It came out, the album is called "Player Select"
There was a video and everything yesterday.
Joseph Rodriguez I think he was sarcastic, there were a lot of people complaining about too much advertising for it.
Look on egorapter they have a video up already and the album is out
Check the Spoofy.
7:09 The glitched-out shark jet ski.
I so relate with Barry in this series. Even if everything else in the game is dated, the sense of humor and music at least aren't, and it's pretty great.
