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.

Bliss Island is about as uninspired as mini-game compilations get, with a flavourless selection of challenges and a half-hearted attempt at adding charm and character.

As a free Flash game, Bliss Island would be mildly entertaining, but in light of Live Arcade's more engaging offerings, it just doesn't cut it here. [June 2008, p.81]

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.

What's good is lifted, what's new is paper-thin. [Issue#32, p.118]

A conversation so watered down it's hard to find where the good game has gone. [June 2008, p.96]

This frustrating collection of minigames is an insult to vacations, holidays, and every other blissful experience.

If Bliss Island were a website of free flash games, it would be worthwhile as a distraction. Paying for it is not a good idea.

A weak plot, a subpar multiplayer and a relatively boring collection of games all add up make Bliss Island one place from which gamers will be eager to get rescued.

So in essence, Bliss Island lacks the incentive to get involved enough with the game to beat it in its entirety.

It’s squarely aimed at children yet a frustrating change in difficulty for each game will see you trying or just turning the game off after loosing a few lives.
