Lego The Movie – Xbox 360

Game Review – Traveller’s Tales LEGO: The Movie (Xbox)

Gameplay (8/10):

Traveller’s Tales has once again delivered a solid LEGO gaming experience with “LEGO: The Movie” on Xbox. The gameplay is as fun and accessible as ever, with a mix of puzzle-solving, platforming, and action-packed sequences. The controls are intuitive, making it easy for players of all ages to pick up and play. However, the formula feels somewhat familiar if you’ve played other LEGO titles, which may be seen as both a strength and a weakness. The addition of cooperative play adds to the enjoyment, allowing friends and family to join in on the brick-building adventure.

Storyline (9/10):

“LEGO: The Movie” faithfully follows the plot of the popular animated film, offering an engaging and humorous narrative. The game’s cutscenes are filled with the same wit and charm as the movie, making it a delightful experience for film fans. Traveller’s Tales has done a fantastic job translating the story into LEGO form, capturing the essence of the movie while adding its signature LEGO humour. Whether you’re reliving the movie’s magic or experiencing the story for the first time, the narrative will surely entertain.

Graphics (7/10):

The LEGO games have a distinct visual style, and “LEGO: The Movie” is no exception. While the blocky characters and environments are faithful to the LEGO aesthetic, the graphics lack the polish and detail in some other modern titles. However, the game’s colourful and vibrant world is a joy to explore, and the character animations are charming. It’s clear that the focus here is on fun and humour rather than cutting-edge graphics.
