== legoland ==
== Game plot ==


While the article contains the story for the PC/Playstation version of the game in the Plot section, it does not cover the GBA and GBC versions of the story, which are extremely different (For instance, the Constructopedia doesn't play any part in the GBC version at all, other then a small mention by the Infomaniac). I own the game for PC, PS1, and GBC, however, I do not own the GBA version (Though I have played a little bit of it). There is a walkthrough of it on YouTube however, so I should be able to write a section on the GBA plot by watching that, unless somebody here owns it.

legoland is very fun to play it has very fun games to play legoland is better than lego land 2


== "All plot" and other clean-up ==
== Release date? ==


Although it has been suggested that we expand upon the plot summary to cover the handheld versions, I have added <nowiki>{{All plot}}</nowiki> to the list of issues atop the page. As the article currently stands, it is mostly centered around the game's plot. I have slimmed the plot down a little as part of my clean-up edit, but I'm sure that such an in-depth summary is not needed and more extraneous information can be cut out.
Where did October come from? I got Lego Island 2 in July 2001. [[User:Josh the Nerd|Josh]] ([[User talk:Josh the Nerd|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Josh_the_Nerd|contribs]]) 15:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


More importantly, the article needs more expansive coverage of gameplay. I have moved two sentences from the plot to a new section for gameplay, but there is much more that can be written, especially considering this game's varied styles of mini-games.

To help with the lack of citations, I was able to provide one cited IGN review for the game. More reviews should also be included. I could not find the GameStop reviews referenced in the article; are these referring to professional reviews or merely user ratings?

A section on development could certainly be helpful; I know such sections are commonplace for a number of video game articles.

Hi, I've been reading the article and I'm wondering if it can be GA. Although its state is terrible, if some corrections are made and the content expanded, it could reach this state. So I'm calling the user {{ping|Cyberlink420}} who made the GA of [[Lego Island|the first installment]] to see what he thinks about the idea.

I've recently (by recently I mean months ago) discovered that (even in the minimum install, despite slow loading screens) that the dialouge files are saved on the hard drive, in .wav format! Most amazing, is that there is some dialouge never used in the game (and i've won the game), some suggesting a game more similar to LEGO Island 1, e.g. to get the brickster bot's heads, you'd CLICK ON THEM!

::Unlikely. While there is room to clean up the article, I don't think the coverage is there to get it to GA. Searching the game on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Sources#Locating_reliable_sources|both of Project Video Games' custom search engines]] turned up next to nothing usable.

How can nobody have commented on this yet!? Oh, by the way - by the GBA version, it's much better. [[User:Tfullwood|Tx2Fullwood]] ([[User talk:Tfullwood|talk]]) 15:17, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
:That would definitely help improve the page, and I agree those magazine sources would be worth looking for, but I still don't think it would be enough to hit GA, particularly due to the apparent lack of development information in reliable sources outside of what's already cited on the Lego Island page. That said, I encourage you to add the sources you've found and fill out the page. Focus on getting it up to C or B class first, which is a much more attainable goal, and if you've gotten to that point and think there's still room to reach GA, then give it your best shot. Rome wasn't built in a day; just focus on cleaning up and filling out what's already there to build that solid foundation, then go from there. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:02, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Game plot

[edit]

While the article contains the story for the PC/Playstation version of the game in the Plot section, it does not cover the GBA and GBC versions of the story, which are extremely different (For instance, the Constructopedia doesn't play any part in the GBC version at all, other then a small mention by the Infomaniac).

"All plot" and other clean-up

[edit]

Although it has been suggested that we expand upon the plot summary to cover the handheld versions, I have added {{All plot}} to the list of issues atop the page. As the article currently stands, it is mostly centered around the game's plot. I have slimmed the plot down a little as part of my clean-up edit, but I'm sure that such an in-depth summary is not needed and more extraneous information can be cut out.

More importantly, the article needs more expansive coverage of gameplay. I have moved two sentences from the plot to a new section for gameplay, but there is much more that can be written, especially considering this game's varied styles of mini-games.

To help with the lack of citations, I was able to provide one cited IGN review for the game. More reviews should also be included. I could not find the GameStop reviews referenced in the article; are these referring to professional reviews or merely user ratings?

A section on development could certainly be helpful; I know such sections are commonplace for a number of video game articles. Covering the info in these pages from the game's development team would be a good place to start start. --PeabodySam (talk) 00:03, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Possible GA

[edit]

Hi, I've been reading the article and I'm wondering if it can be GA. Although its state is terrible, if some corrections are made and the content expanded, it could reach this state. So I'm calling the user @Cyberlink420: who made the GA of the first installment to see what he thinks about the idea. 181.204.42.146 (talk) 18:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I call @Cyberlink420: again to see what they think about the idea. 181.204.42.146 (talk) 18:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyberlink420: I have been able to find reliable sources for the article such as: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. We could also look for magazines from that time (Nintendo Power, GamePro, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer and Video Games among others) to see if they wrote any reviews about the video game. 181.204.42.146 (talk) 19:47, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
