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® Jurassic World
5/10 Quite the bug fest there, Tt Games
Due to Steam’s 4000 character limit, this is a strongly edited review from Gao Li Occasionally Reviews
Childproofing Jurassic Park
While LEGO is famously kid-friendly, Jurassic Park flicks are monster movies where giant lizards devour unsuspecting victims, which is why many of the more violent scenes were toned down to make them family friendly. For example, the death of Donald Gennaro – the lawyer who gets eaten by a t-rex on the toilet – is still shown here, but he’s spat out after apex predator’s fight against a raptor. Zara Young, meanwhile, stays devoured by the mosasaurus & plays cards with other characters in its belly. That said, even though the developers managed to elude graphic scenes, they failed to edit out the “adult” language.

NOTE: I noticed a few comments on this review. Please note that this is an old review. I have not played this game in a long time. It was in an unacceptably dire state the last time I played, and I don’t plan on coming back to it. Some have claimed that the issues mentioned here have been fixed. I can’t confirm if this is true or not, but I did say that if this game receives a patch, then I’d recommend it. So keep that in mind, please. Thank you. 3
Anyway, here’s my review, still intact and unchanged.

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. =,(

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® 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.

LEGO® City Undercover
In my opinion this is by far the most entertaining out of all the Lego games. Both my son and I have spent a lot of hours in it. The story line is pretty long, and there is a ridiculous amount of activities and unlockable items. Activity completion is tracked with gold bricks, of which there is something like 500 of them. After 80 hours of gameplay we have only reached 220.
The detail level is amazing. The environment is a large city with a mix of destructable Lego builds and more conventional FPS terrain. I like that all the vehicles are Lego builds, and all have working damage and physics effects. For instance driving a semi w/trailer acts the way you would expect, including trying to move a trailer in reverse, or running across uneven terrain. You can even hop in the driver seat of the commuter train. And there is a working roller coaster. So much detail.

Lego City: Undercover
Story
In terms of a story driven game, it’s good. I really like the humour and nods to moves, TV shows, genres, songs, other games, and of course Lego.
You are Chase McCain. Detective & undercover policeman extraordinaire. You ride into Lego City on a silver… ocean freighter… and save the day! … But do you get the girl? O_O I guess you’ll have to play it to find out.
I don’t know if the directors / voice actors took queues from the Simpsons, but there were times that felt very reminiscent of that.

LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes 2
Warning: Ignore ALL troll reviews that will downvote this game just because it’s missing X-Men and Fantastic 4. If you’re going to read a review, it should be from someone who isn’t stuck on the characters that are missing but the quality of content and the actual experience the game provides.
▪How many hours does my hard-earned cash get me?
If you played the first game, you probably know that it easily gave you 40-100 hours worth of stuff to do. I’m happy to say that this game goves you 120-200 hours worth of stuff if you want to 100% the game. The game basically has twice the content of the first game.

Not quite Secret Wars, but this’ll do
This is a fine entry in the long running series of Lego games which serve dual purposes. On one hand, the Lego games are easy pick up and play action games that can really be enjoyed by any age, from little kids to grown ups. On the other hand, the main franchise from Traveler’s Tales also serves as fanfare for a number of intellectual properties, ranging from DC comics to Jurassic Park to Star Wars, and more. And of course, Marvel comics.
This entry is stacked. With a roster of over 230 characters in the base game to unlock, and an additional 60+ characters with the DLC added, there is bound to be some superheroes and villains in this game that might pique even the most jaded Marvel fanboys interest.

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.

The LEGO® NINJAGO® Movie Video Game
It’s time for training and we’re getting started-
It’s on, you know
And we wanna see you whip and shout it-
We rock,
You roll.
They say, go slow
And everything just stands so still
We say, go go!
We’re ready for the fight, we know the drill
Monday morning and we feel defeated,
Seems so long ago
Tuesday’s comin' -
We just keep on beatin
‘Til we’re in our zone
They say, go slow
And everything just stands so still
We say, go go!
You’re gonna see us rip into it,
Just jump up kick back whip around and spin

Another Lego game, and another game based off of a movie. And this one is pretty good all things considered. I’ll be listing off various things about this game that I liked/ didn’t like, and the features that it does and doesn’t have, so chances are I’ll hopefully answer any questions one may have about this game before buying it. So let’s begin.
The story: If you’ve seen the movie, you’ve pretty much seen the game. It even uses clips from the movie in place of cutscenes, which works to some degree but I’ll touch on that later. As such, the main story follows that of the film, and while it does leave some things out, it also places a lot in. For instance, you get a lot more character with Jay when you play as him and Lloyd in the second act. And it makes the film just a little bit weaker in comparison, and I kinda like that, as I mentioned before, it gives him a bit more character. There are other scenes like that, but sadly not many.
