The LEGO Movie Videogame for Xbox 3. Reviews. The first impressions of The LEGO Movie Videogame (or LMV as it will be called from here on out) is that it is colourful! Very very colourful! Like rainbow throwing up on a rubix cube colourful! The little pre- menu introduction video takes you on a flying tour of Bricksberg and shows off how vibrant the game is going to be as well as acting as a little introduction to some of the characters, rounded off nicely by the camera knocking poor sweet Emmett off of a building. Kind of sums up everything you need to know about the little yellow protagonist of this story! The game starts as all games do; with a tutorial level.
It kicks it off with footage from the movie that ties in nicely with the gameplay, this gave me a good feeling inside as it generally means that the levels, although they are undoubtedly going to be padded out for length, will stay true to the story of the movie. This is always my biggest issue with movie tie- ins, we’re already off to a good start here and the game hasn’t even begun! The tutorial here does as all tutorials do and runs through the basics of the game; only this time you have Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman & Shakespeare in the mix which sort of makes this the best tutorial ever!! Firstly you have the instruction manuals. You need to collect a certain number of these and take them to a control panel to launch a neat little mini- game. This mini- game throws a Lego set together and you have to select the missing part from a list, the quicker you get right the more coins you earn, simple and effective! The other mini- game you are thrown into was a surprise to say the least. I was going about my business trying to get some construction workers back from their coffee break by fixing some speakers to draw them out of the office (actual mission objectives). As soon as I succeeded in this they came out of the office and I was immediately thrown into a dance party, complete with disco ball and light- up flooring. This played out like every other rhythm game ever designed; you have a bar at the bottom of the screen and different buttons scroll across it. Press the right buttons at the right time and you will successfully throw down some killer shapes. This is where the game runs through all of the important stuff like how many coins and instruction manuals you have collected. By Giancarlo Saldana. The Lego Movie Videogame is based on a film. Arms review: “An invigorating. Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for The LEGO Movie. The LEGO Movie Videogame follows the LEGO formula Traveller's Tales has established during the last decade to the letter. Finally it also runs through the gargantuan list of characters you have unlocked (and the huge list of them that are still to be unlocked). The list of characters in this game is Insane!! After I completed the first level and was first greeted by this for the first time it was borderline daunting how many there were but when it comes down to it the sheer amount of unlockables and collectables is one of the highlights of games like this! Star Wars had the Cantina and Harry Potter had Diagon Alley but they all had one. LMV gets a little greedy in that respect. As you go through the game and move into the different areas of the universe the hub levels change to match, you can also travel between the different hubs as much and as freely as you want. The hub is where you get to mooch around between levels and explore to find all the little hidden nooks and crannies as well as buying the characters you’ve previously unlocked, either by talking to them in the world or taking the lazy option and buying them through the character screen. You can also wander around and help other LEGO citizens that are in trouble in return for coins or instruction manual pages. Alternatively if you’re not feeling social or helpful you can just screw it and follow the green studs to the next mission. The choice is 1. 00% yours! Craziness has never, nor shall it ever be, a negative, especially where LEGO is involved!! The LEGO Movie Videogame Review. A game based on a movie based on a toy product. It feels a little rushed, but it aint bad. Check out Kidzworlds review of TT Games latest offering, The LEGO Movie Videogame. The LEGO Movie Videogame is the latest LEGO themed action- adventure from Warner Bros. But unlike the machine- like game developers previous effort, LEGO: Marvel Superheroes, The LEGO Movie Videogame never quite gels as a cohesive experience. That said, there is plenty to enjoy for you LEGO fans out there. While you will play as an assortment of characters, including Wyldstyle, Batman and Vitruvias, the main thread follows charming Emmet and his quest to become a master builder and save the world. It also truly allows TT Games as a developer to use creative- license to tweak movie moments as to suit the game medium better. But for The LEGO Movie Videogame, TT Games has decided to use actual movie clips (which are brilliantly made) from the feature length film as cut scenes. It genuinely feels as if chunks of gameplay have been shoe- horned between movie moments. At times transitions between gameplay and cut- scenes being far from seamless. Every time the cut- scenes played I was attentive and really entertained. They made me want to see the movie proper. But the moment to moment gaming left a little to be desire. There is also a fun little mini- game where you're tasked with building certain objects from a manual, using quick reflexes to match the correct on- screen pieces. A hub world between levels, collectibles to find and dozens of characters to unlock, who then allow access to new areas. There's a lot of time to be sunk if you wish to hit 1. The audio is okay but poorly mixed at times, with dialoge being lost to music and sound effects. The visuals are decent - I played on Xbox One but they won't blow your mind nor are they much a jump over the . Overall though, The LEGO Movie Videogame's in- game graphics are appealing on the eyes. I have issues with the shifts in visual style and the fact that for the first time in a while, it feels a bit like gameplay missions were thought out in haste.. Okay I'll say it. For the first time one of TT Games LEGO efforts feels a little - maybe just a tad - on the cash- in side of things. It's missing a little bit of the TT magic. But warning, don't play this game before seeing the movie.. Spoilers galore. The LEGO Movie Videogame is available now on Xbox One, Xbox 3. Playstation 4, Playstation 3, Wii. U, 3. DS and PCRating. Have Your Say! Let us know in the comments below. The Lego Movie Videogame review. Think about this for a second: The Lego Movie Videogame is based on a film, itself based on games inspired by toys. It doesn’t get any more meta than that, folks. But don't write this off as another forgettable movie tie- in game- -The Lego Movie Videogame is actually pretty awesome. And though it looks and plays much like the other Lego games that came before it, there’s plenty to like about these plastic toys. Sticking to a familiar tried- and- true formula, Lego Movie lets you play as various Lego protagonists from the film as they make their way through 1. You often need to swap between different characters and use their unique abilities and weapons to progress. It's a quick and painless process that adds plenty of variety to combat and exploration. It also doesn’t hurt that each chapter feels different from the last, offering you something new to do along the way. From racing down a highway to shooting down enemy helicopters to swimming through eel- infested tunnels, Lego Movie stays fresh and keeps you entertained. Fun mini- games also brighten up your campaign, such as a hacking game that plays a lot like Pac- Man and a rhythm game that is sure to get the film’s theme song stuck in your head. If you haven't already seen The Lego Movie, its video game tie- in will spoil much of its plot through cutscenes and dialogue. Even though it doesn't include every bit of the story, it does a good job of filling you in when necessary so you never feel very confused about what's going on. Exploring the film's narrative in video game form is pretty enjoyable, and Lego Movie succeeds in transforming the more frenetic moments into exciting gameplay scenarios. Emmet’s escape from Bricksburg, and even the final minutes of the movie, are particularly memorable interactive moments during which you have full control. Scenes that may have taken just a few seconds on- screen are stretched out into lengthy objectives in each level, offering some additional and imaginative detail to scenes you may have overlooked. It’s all done incredibly well and keeps you invested in what’s going to happen next. Clocking in at around six hours, Lego Movie isn't terribly long, but it's hard to complain when those six hours are packed with exploration, witty lines, and plenty of memorable moments. Most of the laughs will come from snippets of the film, but the game builds on that humor with its own clever script. Want Batman to build something for you out of a stack of colorful bricks? Too bad, he only works in black. This wouldn’t be a proper Lego game without tons of un(b)lockables, and you’ll only have access to a few of them during your first playthrough. Once you get access to Superman’s laser beams, for example, go back and melt all those golden blocks and explore areas you couldn’t before. There’s even a bonus room that lets you build classic Lego structures and vehicles using instruction manuals you can collect. It’s the sort of fan- service that'll strike a nostalgic chord for those who grew up playing with Legos as kids. Still, the amount of content here is considerably less than that in Lego City Undercover or even Lego Marvel Super Heroes, and Lego Movie's HUB worlds are comparatively small. Contrary to to the catchy theme song, not everything is awesome, especially when glitches ruin the fun. I got stuck a couple of times by jumping into areas I couldn’t get out of; only restarting the game could free me from my plastic prison. Another time, a conversation failed to load, forcing me to start the chapter over from scratch. It’s a shame considering these moments completely disrupt Lego Movie's great action. The Lego Movie Videogame is one of the better movie tie- in games out there, and it may even get you to see the film if you haven’t already. Its action- packed stages will keep you on your toes, and all those cheeky quips from its characters are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It may not bring anything new to the table, but The Lego Movie Videogame takes some of the best elements from the series and delivers it all in a charming package anyone will want to play with. Funny, colorful, and full of personality, The Lego Movie Videogame not only successfully builds from its source material but is also a great example of why Lego games are so much fun to play. This game was reviewed on PS4.
