Having shown great success with its popular LEGO games such as Harry Potter , Star Wars , The Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones , the company Danish toy LEGO goes a step further and become independent to bring us own original movie and The LEGO Movie Videogame.
The story introduces us to Emmet , an ordinary worker whose life takes a turn one hundred and eighty degrees during this time he finds a strange piece that is able to change the fate of his world and rescue them from the tyranny of the powerful Mega Poor . To make matters worse, he has been designated as the Special One , a kind of chosen out of an old prophecy.
The LEGO Movie: The game is characterized by a development in the third person that presents us with an action adventure game that does not forget that minor phases of platforms, puzzles and exploration in an open environments straight from the film. So, we can go walking, flying or driving the streets of Ladriburgo , Cloud cuckoo land and the Far West among others.
During the fifteen missions that make up the story mode we cannot miss those moments when we become a bunch of parts in anything that will help us advance the adventure (walkways, stairs, switches, etc.). But only the characters considered Master Builders can make these creations. These same teachers are the ones who can unite the masterpieces of construction (we recognize as being a fluorescent green color). These pieces are scattered across different parts of the stage, though not very far from each other, so putting them together is not a very complicated task.
There are other much larger and special objects that are constructed in some places provided for such purpose having an orange glow. This time, the workers are responsible for putting together the objects, but before we find pages of instructions. These are also scattered around the stage and until we find them all cannot continue. Once we are able to get them, we unlock a mini game where you have to choose which piece to put in our creation. If we take too long or fail, we lose part of the final bonus.
Apart from all these, the game offers several phases of driving and underwater. But undoubtedly the funniest moments that make the game a whole nonsense (in the best sense of the word) are those in which, out of the blue, the characters begin to dance and we have to accompany the rhythm lyrics by pressing the buttons on the screen. From time to listen to the title track of the film have gone inadvertently humming.
As you can imagine, it is not an easy task as it seems at first, since the followers of Mega Malo , led by bipolar Poli Malo , constantly chasing us. To get rid of them, it is best to summon our strength and beat them to blow part. A clean whip of our bat, kicking, punching … anything goes as long as we dismantle them that don’t leave us alone.
As in other LEGO games in the LEGO Movie: The game we have a very high amount of characters (there are 90 in total) among which the protagonists of the film and some other very special cameo, as that of Superman , Batman or Gandalf . Each has very different skills from each other and always good to have on our team of up to eight figures, these heroes. For example, Vetruvius is expert at creating walkways to walk by them, the female characters are ideal to jump higher and climb, the robots are able to hack into computers, Uni-kitty can break and form LEGO glass, etc parts.
Learn skills interlayer between characters is vital to continue the mission and reach new places. To get all the characters there are two ways: unlocking them during missions or buying them.
If we get tired of following the guidelines of the story mode (which takes about seven hours), we can stop what we’re doing and start playing in Free Mode. This way we are able to open a whole new world in which we can do what we want: to overcome simple side missions , access to places we did not reach before because we lacked the skills of a character or collect different models of pants from each different world.
The fun, the good humor and parody are very present in every one of the levels that make up this title. The dialogues, posters of the … all invites laughter and a bit away. Furthermore, we can enjoy it all together with a friend thanks to the split-screen cooperative mode.
The graphics are very similar, if not identical, to those who have already seen in other games in the franchise LEGO. Thus, we see that these are correct, but not surprised by his showmanship. What must be emphasized is the color that abounds in all scenarios and the funny thing is the fact that everything is made up of pieces of LEGO.
Some parts of the game are narrated directly with sequences from the movie. This does not disrupt the narrative or any time the development of the adventure.
Unfortunately we have found some other technical error as bugs that cripple a character or making it non-stop spinning (this is solved if we continue our way with another character). Also, the saw teeth that are visible on the far stage elements (mountains, cloud shadows, etc..).
Regarding the sound section, the tunes are top party and animated. Each location has its custom theme that insurance that more than one gets stuck in your head. The sound track is amazing.
The version of The LEGO Movie: The game for the console PlayStation 4 shows an identical development to which we have referred to her little sister, so the story is the same and the modes are traced. The only difference we find is a technical level, since in PS4 modeled environments and have higher brightness and sharpness. The feeling that the pieces are plastic is further enhanced by the effects of shading. It is much more attractive, but it presents nothing new compared to other platforms.
The LEGO Movie: The game is set on sale today for the PS4, PS3, PSVita, One Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PC platforms. Intended for all audiences, It has some carefree and crazy moments in development promises much fun and entertainment featuring, once again, by the pieces of LEGO . If you’ve seen the movie and want to wear the skin of the Special , this is your game.
