Lemmings for PCE CD
Review #11064
Lemmings
Slowdown incarnate
Gameplay
What can you say about Lemmings? It's a near perfect puzzle game. Unfortunately, this version is so incredibly slow. Play any other version instead.
Level Design
After a quick series of tutorials you're on your own to figure out the puzzles which quickly become devious and are always addictive and satisfying to complete.
Wonderful difficulty curve. Play for as long as you'd like and use a password to pick up where you left.
Theme
Simple premise and I appreciate that they didn't try to give the lemmings 90s 'tude or some such nonsense. It's just a game about lemmings who will do whatever you tell them to do. Now off you go.
Oh and the little bit of personality that they did include is perfectly charming, like the "oh no" a lemming calls out when he's about to explode. So satisfying.
Art Style
Lacks details in the other versions.
Audio
Lovely CD-quality music. The sound effects take a huge hit, however. For example, it's nearly inaudible when you assign a job to a Lemming.
