Lego games

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH]

I got me Lego Lord of the Rings yesterday, and I've played for about 1h30 so far. I've got to say that this is shaping up to be a really good game. The controls are quite nice (WASD for movement, UHJK for actions and PL;' for camera panning) and I've quickly gotten used to them.

The voice acting and music is that of the films which, on its own, makes for a good experience. The graphics are also really nice and run very smoothly on my 4-year old laptop.

I do have one issue though. You can buy stuff with the round lego bricks you find in game. The thing is, you get most of those by breaking stuff. I spent 20 minutes trashing the party and most properties in Hobbiton to increase my wealth.


I've got to say that I've never run into a bad Lego spin-off... it's just something they seem to be able to do really well. Taking a franchise, and making a Lego game version that adds more humour and a touch of (good) satire. Good going !

What say you, DYKG members ?
