Lemmings 2 - GREAT.

The Good
Oh, it's just fun fun fun. The challenges are varied enough, they look so simple and yet are difficult, but never frustrating, and there's a great sense of achievement when you finish a level. Also, you're not killing things as usual, you're trying to save poor lemmings.

The Bad
Some of the levels were bloody hard, and some of the skills are unclear. For example, what is the purpose of a skier? And what's a diver supposed to do? They might sound obvious, but there's not a level I've found a use for them on.

The Bottom Line
Imagine being the Pied Piper of Hamlin. Now replace those rats with green-haired children, and now imagine all the adults of the world have gone mad. Actually, sod the metaphor, it's just a fun rescue-the-little-men game.
