LEGO Dimensions: Starter Pack (PS4)

Product Information

The cinematics are beautifully rendered and could be cut together to make an excellent movie with a few small additions. The dialog is excellent too and will delight both children and adults. For instance, at one point Batman is convinced that Scarecrow of Oz is really The Scarecrow from Gotham who must be using his fear toxin to cause everyone to hallucinate. It is important to note that the Batman you play in the game is not the same Batman from The LEGO Movie and there is even a humorous cinematic early on which proves it.

Is the wealth of IP a good thing? Or does it make for a diluted experience of trawling through elements you have no interest in? I certainly have no interest in playing through/with a chima or ninjago theme, not really scooby doo. Portal yes, Batman ok, Lego movie perhaps. Lotr no. I and my kids love LEGO star wars, but I wouldn't have wanted to have swapped the Ep4 section for some LEGO atlantis. As game DLC I see it as a fail, as an investment (which as stupid as that should be, is a real thing, I guess) it's probably not a good idea, and as Polybags its CLEARLY an abysmal value.Let creativity be the guide to a building and gaming adventure – journey through unexpected worlds and team-up with unlikely allies on the quest to defeat the evil Lord Vortech. Play with different minifigures from different worlds together in one LEGO videogame, and use each other’s vehicles and gadgets in a way never before possible. LEGO® Bad Cop™ driving the DeLorean Time Machine…why not?! The LEGO® Ninjago™ Masters of Spinjitsu fighting alongside Wonder Woman™...yes, please! Get ready to break the rules, because the only rule with LEGO Dimensions is that there are no rules. expense squared - the high price of Lego married to the high price of the TTL currency. For those of us who are fans of one but not the other that might affect their view of the game's value. The cinematics are beautifully rendered" - would be true about 10 years ago. Generally speaking, the Lego based games are quite a bit behind technologically. It is true to say this is the best of the Lego based games. Which was not a huge achievement, considering how mediocre (at best) the older releases were. The Toy Pad base has 3 different versions: Xbox 360, Xbox One, and a multiplatform variant PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Wii U. I'm really sorry, and its great to see a new reviewer but from the first section it was obvious that reading this review would be an utter waste of time, completely uncritical, wrong on facts, totally missing the nuance of the business model. A fanboys orgasm but really not a review.

I'm not going to debate whether LEGO Dimensions is a fair value in general, because really that's a debate about the toys-to-life category in general, a category that I have little firsthand experience with. I sure couldn't tell you why this category of video games has taken off the way it has. After building the LEGO portion of the gateway, it attaches to the electronic NFC reader base which fortunately has two 2x2 studded sections on each side to hold it in place. The final product looks even better in person than it does on the box. It has a very organic feel to it and the NFC readers do not look out of place at all.HAHAHAHAHHAHA.' is immensely childish and terribly condescending, and 'My god man, the mental gymnastics to justify this kind of cost is impressive.' is rather aggressive, childish and also very condescending. So yes, hostility. Firstly, the article is unashamadly positive about the game. People who are not comfortable with that should not trust a single source when forming their own opinion.

nparker Who's throwing a tantrum? We're sharing our thoughts on the article, apparently people feel differently. Where the game really breaks the rules set by other TTL games is the amount of interaction you have with the portal. You sometimes need to transfer your minifigure between the three sections to complete a task or move about the level to access different areas. The electronic portion of the gateway lights up in several different colors to prompt you as required, brilliantly transcending the digital and physical realms. Overall DanRSL, tantrum is an accurate description for a small rant based on unreasonable expectations of a review- cheshirecat missed the point of a review and did just that. Nice, well-rounded review. I'm not much of a gamer so I had little interest in "toys-to-life" products before LEGO Dimensions was announced. However, it has been interesting to watch them evolve. LEGO Dimensions takes the physical interaction with the toys and toy pad farther than any other toys-to-life game before it, and it will be interesting to see how its competitors in this category respond. When LEGO Dimensions was first announced in early 2015 I was excited and nervous in equal measure. There was a new LEGO game coming from TT Games and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it but it became immediately apparent that this game would be a dramatic departure from any of the previous titles. The new game would be a "Toys-to-Life" game (commonly abbreviated to TTL) and I had been burned by TTL games before. Dropping hundreds of dollars into unsatisfying games such as Skylanders and Disney Infinity left me hesitant to see the LEGO name attached to a similar project. However, by the time the announcement trailer ended I knew I had nothing to worry about. LEGO was in good hands and together with TT Games, they were ready to Break the Rules.The boxart has many different Adventure Worlds on it, the largest being The Lord of the Rings World on it. A TTL video game uses Near Field Communications (NFC) to read and write digital information to a figure. Most of the games that use this technology involve a "portal" or "gamepad" which can read the information on the figure and transfer it into the game; so one second a figure is just collecting dust on your shelf and the next you are running around new worlds with that character in a video game. It can be quite fun if done properly or extremely frustrating when the product doesn't meet expectations. I can't think of another toy brand that would lend itself better to a TTL game than LEGO and with TT Games, the people behind other amazing LEGO video games such as LEGO Harry Potter and LEGO Jurassic World, responsible for bringing these franchises to life there is little need for trepidation. Box and Contents LEGO Dimensions has captured my attention. The real and digital worlds of LEGO have been melded seamlessly, offering multiple levels of thoroughly enjoyable play. The Starter Set comes with an excellent LEGO build and, based on the first few levels of gameplay, a compelling story, which make this a must buy game for even casual LEGO video game fans in my opinion. A lot of people, and I mean a lot, seem to see these as overpriced because they are looking at them as just Lego sets. They are not, they are part of a game too. If you're not going to play the game, then these sets are not for you. The price includes more than just the physical Lego because that is what the product is. There is no good judging a set while separating the various elements of the product and complaining that it is too much money for just one element of the set. That would be like me buying an Ikea bookshelf, and complaining that it is overpriced because it costs more than one shelf is worth.
