LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™
Well thought out and follows the LoTR story very well, including movie voice clips. As a bonus, content from the books is hidden around which was really fun to find.

LEGO® Indiana Jones™: The Original Adventures
This is my favorite “early” Lego game. Now, with LOTR, POTC, and Batman 2, these games have complex “hub worlds” and hundreds of collectables of different sorts. This game, Star Wars, and Batman (1) were the original Lego games with a bunch of characters, 10 minikit pieces per level, and not much else. They seem basic compared to games like Lego LOTR, but this game, Indiana Jonse 1, was the best of the original lego games. It has the best level design, a broad selection of the characters you’d want, a great soundtrack, and a general sense of completeness. It has everything you’d want in a Lego Indy game (if you are not a big Crystal Skull fan–which I am not). Some things about this game that are different from other early Lego games: You can pick up weapons (a fallen foe’s scimitar, a native’s spear, a Nazi’s rifle). It adds variety to mashing the fight button. The game makes good use of Indy’s whip. It also reminds you of how great all three individual soundtracks were, and the difference between them. Highly recommended for the casual player or devoted collector-type. :)

Well, usually I hold off on writing a review until after I’ve finished a game, but I have a lot to say about this one and I remember most of it anyway.
When I was about 8 or 9, I played hours of this with my younger brother. Never mind that we only had one keyboard to share, the disc froze up more often than not, and we were both pretty bad at it, we loved every moment anyway. I just bought it again today, and surprise! it’s still good. Clearly a labor of love, if a little unpolished.
What isn’t good game design is goofy and/or funny. What isn’t goofy and/or funny is good game design. What isn’t either of those is probably a little broken. Anything else is either John Williams' score or a plug for Lego Star Wars, and those both speak for themselves. Overall, this comes highly recommended. Everyone should have it.

LEGO® Harry Potter: Years 5-7
First of all, I love both LEGO and most TT games (especially the STAR WARS games) and I grew up with Harry Potter.
Storywise, there is some really good, typical, visual humor and the Story is of course amazing, if you enjoy Harry Potter.
The big deal with this game is however, that the raw gameplay is fantastic. Of course, you have to own a controller, because the game is, in my opinion, unplayable without one. But if you’ve got that figured out, there is nothing between you and an amazing game.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (Action-adventure)
Notes: Controller highly recommended! Ginormous snake warning!
I’ll skip the usual options and general gameplay description since I covered it all in my review of the first Lego HP game HERE . There are a few changes to the core of the game besides the expected changes in scenery.
First off, the graphics are more complex than in the first installment. The changes help to illustrate the growth of the characters, both in physical age and in maturity. Those familiar with the HP series of books/movies know that eventually we move away from Hogwarts and into entirely new areas. LEGO HP handles these new areas very nicely, and they manage to tie everything together in a way that feels both isolated and connected at the same time.

LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game
I think this is the shortest of the LEGO games I’ve played - only took 23 hours to get to 100%.
But short does not equal bad, in this case. There’s still plenty enough content, and this is a good solid LEGO game. Some minor flaws (plus the death of the character customizer as an actually fun tool), but nothing glaring. It does a good job of combining the gameplay of the older, classic games with the fresh coat of paint of the newer games. Great work done with balancing of character abilities. No voice acting yet. I’m not super fond of hiding all of the extras in the hub, but it’s okay. Only five levels per movie this time, but balanced out by the fact that there are four movies. On the whole, a good fun game.

LEGO® Batman™ 3: Beyond Gotham
Although not the best of the Batman series (I believe the first one cannot be beat), this is pretty enjoyable.
Things I like
-
Character Roster. The roster has a lot of variety and plenty of people to chose from. I feel though maybe taking out some of the generic lanterns and putting more iconic lanterns instead as rewards would’ve been cooler.
-
ADAM WEST. Probably my favorite part, I really liked thses rescue missions and the special mission. These are the very deffinition of charming.
-Flying. The controls are a definite improvement over the last one, at least the one on the Wii (aka take this with a grain of salt)

As I write this review the Arrow DLC still has yet to drop so I’m basing this on having 100% this game with the current three dlcs out with the season pass. First and foremost let me say how much I hated the storyline in this game. For me it was the worst of all the lego games I’ve played (the other Batmans, Harry Potter, Marvel, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lego Movie). I will admit my biggest problem is that I’m not a big DC person. I only like a few characters and Batman is one of them so when I buy a game called Lego Batman I expect the storyline to be promeniently about Batman. This wasn’t that. This was Lego Green Lantern or Lego DC Universe but it wasn’t Lego Batman. I realize that they probably called it that to make more money but it really irks me. Don’t get me wrong I still had fun with the game, as I do with all the lego games. I was just really looking forward to a batman centric story. That being said I did not run into as many glitches as others have complained about. I also played this game with the XBOX wired controller for Windows and never had a single problem with the controls as some other people have said. The controller worked fine for me and I played all nearly 70 hours with it.

The LEGO® Movie - Videogame
Not only was the movie awesome, but the game was as well!
This is coming from a person who grew up with Lego and it’s games, so it makes sense that another lego game would be another one of my favorites now, making this part a very biased review of it. But this one in particular was extra special to me since I absolutly LOVED the movie since the trailers came out to it’s release in theaters. Graphics, gameplay, and technical bugs aside, the overall atmosphere of the “LEGO MOVIE” universe is insanley appealing to me with it’s viberant colors and use of almost everything made entirely out of Lego bricks made into incredibly awesome designs. Great characters and plot for a Lego based game/movie. It also had a great soundtrack to it, which is barely mentioned by others. Despite other crowd opinion being almost opposite to mine, I still rate this as one of the BEST Lego games from my personal standing, able to look past some of it’s flaws in gameplay.

In short, is the game good?
Yes, it’s very good.
Is it worth my time and money?
Yes it is. Although, if you’re having doubts about paying full price, I’d strongly suggest to wait for a -50% sale.
Is this game for anyone?
Yes. The game can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
Linear, open-world or something else?
The game uses hub worlds which house connected, individual levels. Very reminiscent of late 90s platformer games. There’s a lot of stuff to do in each hub world and the connected levels. Expect around 10-13 hours of playtime to reach the ending and around 20-24 hours to 100% the game.

LEGO® Indiana Jones™ 2: The Adventure Continues
Lego Indiana Jones 2 isn’t exactly a sequel but the entire India Jones movie franchise all in one, spanning all 4 films including the infamous “hide in a fridge to survive a nuclear explosion” scene. It was one of the first Lego games to feature quest hubs for all chapters to have as little backtracking as possible to unlock all secrets with alternate characters and features great art design and gameplay.
The only lacking part are the mandatory vehicle missions and contrary to the batman series and many other games within the Lego franchise, the vehicle sequences in Indiana Jones 2 really fall far and almost entirely off the grid. They feel grindy, badly designed and are highly repetitive, requiting the player to always destroy three waves of specific enemies while the rest of them keep spawning infinitely. They attempted to make it feel like suspense and momentum but ultimately failed in that endeavour.

It’s a good game, and it’s very unique compared to the rest of the LEGO games. Most levels last around 5-8 minutes, for starters, compared to the past were most levels averaged out like 15 minutes or so. Each “world” consists of 15 levels, 5 story levels, 5 “post-story” levels, which are levels you play after finishing the story levels, and 5 bonus levels. I really enjoy the post story levels because you get to come back to the level after you beat it with everything changed after what happened in the story level. Take for example if you’re playing a level, and something explodes near the end of it, when you come back, the level would be charred and burned from the explosion, which is super cool.

LEGO® STAR WARS™: The Force Awakens
Hmm, how do I review such an awesome game… There’s so much to talk about…
Warning, this is very long, mate
~Mechanics~
It’s like all other Lego games in most ways; you go through the story of the movie the game is based on, destroy things and Lego studs pop out, you use them to buy characters and vehicles and upgrades (most commonly known as “Red Bricks”).
There are some things that set it apart a bit from other Lego games though.
:Graphics:
The game has really good graphics. The shadows and textures and water and all are really good. It runs smooth and all the places look like from the movie.

TL;DR: I enjoyed it and would recommend! I was a real fan of the actors coming back and voicing new lines, the space/air combat, and I found the length of the game to be satisfying (took me 33 hours to achieve 100% completion).
“There has been an awakening in your wallet. Have you felt it?”
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is my first venture into a Lego video game since Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars; I bring this up because I’ll be covering some features that are new to me, but may not be new to the Lego video games. Before I go over the ‘new’ mechanics, I’d like to address a concern I had about the game and that some of you who are reading this may be having: the other Lego Star Wars games covered three or more episodes -or what existed of a TV show at the time- but this only covers a single film, so this one is probably on the short side compared to the others, right?

Okay, I loved this game. I thought it was the best LEGO game I’ve ever played… At least until I unexpectedly hit the end of the game right at the end of The Desolation of Smaug. I thought it was the complete game, I didn’t bother to read any reviews and so was very annoyed/angry when I hit the equivalent of a brick wall going at 70 mph because I thought I still had a whole third of the game to still get through.
Of course they did put enough sidequests and characters in that I’m still working on 100% completion but I still felt quite cheated and betrayed when I found out that there was no Battle of the Five Armies, and no plans for a DLC ever. =,(
