One of my top 10 favorite games! August 25, 2008
Thoroughly engaging storyline with lots of action and adventure. Though Twinsen's actions are a bit slow at times, it is still suprizingly good with hours of fun game play.
GREAT GAME!!! December 28, 2005

The graphics are a bit old, but still good. The gameplay itself is great. The plot is interesting and fun to go through.
I personally got stuck at this one stupid point for absolutely no reason but my own stupidity but once I got past that I loved it. Hours of gameplay and was never bored (except when i got stuck that once which allowed me to know every part of the Island by heart)
You play Twinsen, a hero who must first cure his dragon dinofly. It all starts with this simple task, but you end up saving the world (of course). The way you are asked to save the world, however, is unique from other games. There is both puzzle solving AND cool fighting. The combination of the two, even though the graphics may be a bit outdate make for a wonderful game well worth the money.
We (my sister and I) have had the game since 1997... I've finished it but every once in a while I still just want to play it sometimes. I've wanted to play games like it, but nothing really compares / is quite what I'm looking for.
In short...
Graphics: 8/10. a bit outdated, but good for when when it was made. No bugs, easy to play, but just not as 'flashy' as current day games. No big explosions, blinkie lights, but pretty worlds, even though the far background isn't as detailed.
music: 10/10. still humming it.
gameplay: 9.5/10. The reason it's not ten is only because it's outdated, but that was put more under graphics. The gameplay is still smooth, and enjoyable. There are four different modes, and you play with your keyboard, but i think this adds rather than takes away from the game.
plot: 10/10. The plot, even though it was a 'save the world game' you never really know what will come up and it really is different than most game plots. Make for very fun gameplay.
Overall, I still give 5 stars. One of my fav. games ever even though I play recent games too. Only thing is graphics because of age but they really are good (just old and not flashy).

this game blows my mind, its probably THE BEST pc game for teens/kids/adults. if you like fantasy, fun and third person perspective graphics, this game is for you. twinsen is a very cute, cartoony guy on a quest to fix the weather and save his land from awful aliens.......this game will lead you along many journeys and tasks and sub tasks and onto many worlds with the greatest graphics, sounds and its full of fun and challenges. you can do all in this game including stealing supplies you may need (you can pay for them as well) to helping people gain items, to embarking on journeys to get access to maps of sewer systems, purchasing ferry tickets, to getting new parts to repair your car to traveling with a jet pack... and calling a sea turtle to yoiur rescue, flying on a alien ship(i dont wanna give too much away) to getting medicine, learning magic to help your poor pet dragon(which this is where it all begins)it has eveything..thumbs up awesome GAME....a+++++
The Coolest 3-D like game of it's age!!! June 21, 2005

This game just blows me away. The graphics are astounding. Twinsen has come a long way and there should be a LBA3. (A.K.A. that is the title of the series: Little Big Adventure.) It is awesome throughout traveling from planet to planet. Able to see cool cutscenes. Listen to funny voice lines. The moves are excellent and timed right. Overall, one of the best games ever of it's age.
The greatest games ever! June 3, 2003

Despite its age its graphics are like todays. Twinson is amazing in his own kind of way. You find yourself not knowing whats next. Except that you get to kill hotdogmen. Its the best game ever!
