    This game was meant to be played with four players instead of two, but considering how much fun you get for the price, you shouldn't be deterred from buying it.
  2. It's at times a blissful experience, and at times a total joy, but at others it's frustrating, and shallow.
  3. An unoriginal set of mini-games, terrible story and dead multiplayer makes Bliss Island one where you would build a raft and sail off soon as possible without ever looking back.
  4. What's good is lifted, what's new is paper-thin. [Issue#32, p.118]

    Okay, these so called professionals all base the game on the plot, uhh, just playing the demo or watching the trailer will immeadiatly tell you this game isnt about plot, the reason i like this game iscause it is a casual game where you can feel like you can finish it, you know carrying on through the adventure mode little by little, its not meant for the hardcore, while more gameplay mechanics would of been nice (just using the stick and a button is definatly over used) but the real reason this game is fun, the price, its just £3 ($5) and considering a hell of alot of worse games cost more than double this on live arcade you could do alot worse, the only thing blocking this from an 8 is the online community is dead, unfortunatly!
