LEGO Party! Reviews
After spending the past week jumping across platforms, battling it out on pirate ships, swinging through caverns and operating LEGO cranes, I couldn’t be more impressed. LEGO Party clicks into place perfectly — a new party favourite in my household.
LEGO Party is pretty darn good. Sadly, there are some shortcomings that will probably hold LEGO Party back from definitively stealing market share from the competition, but I am positive that there will be plenty of people that prefer LEGO Party. LEGO Party is a bonafide competitor to the Mario Party series. For a first entry, LEGO Party is a delightful surprise and has the foundations needed to become a stalwart in the party scene. With a little more variety with boards, mini-games and Lego themes, LEGO Party could prove to be a force to be reckoned with in the future. When you combine the quality and the price point, as well as being available everywhere with cross platform play LEGO Party is sure to cause disruption in the genre.
Yes, LEGO Party! is a lot like Mario Party, sure, but they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If you’ve played and enjoyed Nintendo’s party game series, you’ll be pretty comfortable here. As someone who doesn’t suffer from any ‘Nintendo Nostalgia’ related maladies, I do think it’s a smarter game, if perhaps, a slightly meaner one.
