Critic Reviews for The LEGO Movie Videogame
That being said, there will be die-hard LEGO game fans who enjoy this release, doubly so if they loved the feature film. It's by no means a bad game, it actually runs silky smooth, looks quite nice on next-gen hardware, and the controls are fluid and responsive; it just doesn't evolve the base formula enough to make it stand out. The LEGO Movie Videogame is better than most movie tie-ins, but for a LEGO game it's passable at best.
Neither a good LEGO game nor tribute to the movie—at best, The LEGO Movie Videogame is enough fun to be called a functioning promotional product.
The LEGO Movie Videogame's diverse backdrops and heroes devolve into tedium and busywork.
Funny, colorful, and full of personality, The Lego Movie Videogame not only successfully builds from its source material but is also a great example of why Lego games are so much fun to play.
Shorter than the current crop of Lego games, but compacted with excellent world designs and snappy action
The Lego Movie Videogame re-creates and expands on most of the film's greatest moments.
Visually creative, fun levels, great source material and packed with one of the best casts in gaming history.
The LEGO Movie Videogame represents a potential tipping point for the series in that it's the first time its source material actually interferes with what makes the otherwise bland gameplay unique. This is still a very good game and a worthy addition to any LEGO fan's collection, but the series' seams are definitely starting to show.
