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® 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™ 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.

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® Star Wars™ - The Complete Saga
This game is a masterpiece. The UI is simple, but genius. The characters are funny, relatable, and memorable. The gameplay seems simple but has extreme strategy and depth. The maps are awesome and immerse you into the world of LEGO Star Wars. The fact that there are so many collectibles like red bricks, minikits, and gold bricks adds the sense of wanting to collect all of it. The gold bricks seem useless but are worth the hours it takes to collect them all. The graphics are a tiny out dated, but beautiful, perfectly capturing the style of LEGO Star Wars. 10/10 Best game I’ve ever played.

This game was my childhood, i used to go home everday after school to play some with my brother. I have very fond and happy memories with it and i have now when im older bought it here to get some nostaliga. Let me tell you its still the same, its hilarious and still worth the money its costs. If you have a friend or family member to play it with, DO IT! The cutscenes may be a bit wierd an not really as good as the new ones but it has its nice charm too it. I recomenned 100%.

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?

LEGO® MARVEL’s Avengers
Let me just put it this way:
This and LEGO(R) MARVEL Superheroes are two equal and opposite sides of the same coin.
One is open city play Manhattan. One is open PLANET play Earth, plus a piece of the Nine Realms thrown in for fun.
One is utterly Original Story, with all the Classic Characters LEGO-ified from the Fantastic Four to Deadpool, the other is Carbon-Copy of the Cinematic Universe.
It Includes as much of the Netflix and ABC shows as possible while neglecting some obvious things from the previous game including the lack of return of even Deadpool Red Bricks, which is super obviously due to this game being prepared before everything was finalized for MARVEL to be allowed to make Deadpool and get Spider-Man into Civil War. Yes, this game is a MARVEL game with no Spider-Man, but with a team of ‘Defenders’ that includes neither Namor, Hulk, nor Doctor Strange.

First things first. DEADPOOL ISN’T IN IT. GET OVER IT. DOWNLOAD ONE OF THE VARIOUS MODS TO GET HIM IN GAME AND MOVE ON. The reasons why. Marvel Studios doesn’t have the right to Deadpool and Spider-man’s rights were still up in the air at the time of development for this game. Ergo no Deadpool. The End. Get some ice-cream to help get over it. But Spidey’s DLC is a thank you to the players of Lego Marvel’s Avengers so FREE Spidey DLC. And even though it was free for PlayStation, a couple of bucks for the Civil War pack is absolutely fine

LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame
Literally a masterpiece. Played the hell out of it on playstation 2. i love going through the story as batman and robin for it to switch at the midway point and do everything again but from the villains POV. Love it. the game will always have a special place.
BUT the PC port is laughable, heaps of gamebreaking bugs and you have to play with VSync on as it effects jumping.
The soundtrack is godtier and it never fails to give me goosebumps.

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.
