Author's Review
They have been captured by weasels and put into boxes to await their fate. A new challenge is being put before these mindless little lemmings for the entertainment of the weasels. Our job?--To rescue as many of these cute simpletons as possible.
The game starts with a fun little opening movie that explains the Lemmings' plight much like I just did in the above paragraph. There are 100 different puzzles to play and you can do them over and over again. The game is in 3D and has all of the same features as the old favorites and some new ones too.
There are 3 types of Lemmings: the "garden variety Lemmings" that we are familiar with, "water Lemmings" that can walk on water, and "Lava Lemmings" that can effectively navigate lava.
There are new traps in revolution-Water, lava, acid, and timed doors
if the door closes your lemmings are trapped. There are also what they call in the book "lemming extras"-switches, laser gates, speed up pads, anti-gravity pads, and teleporters. Where our guys will go nobody knows!
The terrain is 3-dimensional and you can navigate it with the mouse
so far all of the terrains I've been on are cylindrical in nature. You have the ability to pause the game but still give the lemmings their jobs, which is a real lifesaver. Another great feature is the zoom function; by hitting the spacebar you can zoom in for a closer look and have your builder place a brick in just the right spot. The most convenient new feature it being able to pick out right or left traveling lemmings. This feature allows you to save jobs by not having a basher or builder go the wrong direction.
I must say, I have had fun revisiting an old favorite in its new form. These moronic little lemmings are more fun than ever!
