    Another smash-and-collect game featuring everyone’s favorite building toy. This time around, it’s based on the new animated movie and offers many of the hilarious characters fresh off the screen. A little bit of fresh gameplay livens up this entry, but a few story and camera problems hamper the experience somewhat. Ultimately, The LEGO Movie Videogame is great fun and perfect for fans of the fantastic plastic.

    TT Fusion followed instructions to create this game’s foundation, but the art on top of it is the work of master builders. The visuals are a surprising hook in this Lego entry.

    The art direction shines, although it could be closer to the source. And even though in local co-op it is as entertaining as any Lego game, the movie conversion can’t hide that mechanically it is merely a risk free collection of everything we got to know over the last few years.

    While not everything is awesome, The Lego Movie Videogame should be just the ticket if you're ready to spend another 10 to 12 hours in the fantastic world of animated plastic blocks.

    It's not quite what we've come to expect from TT Games; you'd be better off going to watch the film four times. [Issue#109, p.81]

    As a huge fan of Lego games, I've been disappointed by The LEGO Movie Videogame. Of course the title aims at seducing young fans of the film, but is it a reason to ruin the content and the direction? Of course we find humor, platforming riddles and stuff to collect which became the renown of previous titles, but the result is not quite as enjoyable. If we limit ourselves to the bad direction, the crappy music, the bugs and lags will still be enough to displease most achievement hunters. But even the content of the game sucks, fewer characters than usual, a light life, easy progression. As it seems it's not that easy to make a good LEGO game from a great LEGO film. Next try in 2017 with LEGO the movie 2!

    Underwhelming is probably the best way to describe The Lego Movie Game; sticking too closely to the movie, lacking in the fun factor, having little character of its own as a result, feeling padded and most certainly rushed to coincide with the movie launch.

But besides from that the game is pretty good I like the good selection of characters but one thing I do not like is the new character selection system it is clunky and I do not like using it. Also is it just me or is the A.I in this game extremely stupid. Worse than other games but besides from that the game is pretty good.… Expand

It closelyWith only just getting into playing the Lego video games and watching the movie , I was keen to play this game, on my NEW xbox one. It closely follows the movie , but if you haven't seen the movie , there are holes in the plot. The level designs are great and there is a great amount of humour , that is one of the main points of the Lego games .The characters move well , but feel a bit chunky , with some glitches here and there. And when you have completed levels and earned free play , some levels in free mode have glitches , were I've had to exit the level as certain items that you need to complete the level , either don't activate or spawn. And through a specific area of the game when you gained an item of a sub mission and getting it back to its area , the game resets it's self. Unlocking characters has been made a lot easier , rather than searching the hubs for the characters you can buy them from the character select screen , which can take away a bit of the challenge.
    The xbox achievements range from completing levels to unlocking characters and extras , which adds to playability of the game .
    It's an ok game , fun and if your a fan of the Lego games and movie , I would recommend it , but I would get it for the LAST generation of consoles    … Expand

TheThe game is a cheap rehashing of the film's storyline, complete with redubbed movie scenes with poor sound production and no atmosphere. The game lacks the lineup of character that comes with a licenced tie-in and the few, albeit it rather entertaining, 'main' characters can't make up for the fact that the game doesn't stand up to the same quality as their licenced titles. The game defines movie tie-ins and while entertaining does not live up to expectations.… Expand

On retrouve l'humour idiot, le doublage crétin, la caméra fixe bien chiante (sauf dans le hub et encore...) et ces phases de jeu bêbêtes où l'on construit cette fois quelques trucs mais de façon simpliste et à peine interactive.

    Le jeu reste beau mais l'histoire (?) est aussi con que dans le film et ponctuée de cinématiques (directement extraites du film compressées en un mp4 suspect) sans véritable lien avec ce qu'on fait ou ce qu'on doit foutre. Il faut comme d'habitude changer de personnage selon la situation et sauter de temps en temps ici ou là (lol ?).

    Et bien entendu, il est fortement conseillé de farmer et ramasser toute la merdaille colorée en plastoc qui traîne. Comme d'habitude quoi. Tout ça est donc incroyablement mal fait, foireux et très rébarbatif.    … Expand
