the current slew of LEGO games...

Post by RoninBuddha »

also, i had a dream about LEGO GRADIUS, is lego popular enough in japan for this to happen? or at least to start using Japanese IP's?

They're actually good games. I played both Lego Star Wars games and they were really enjoyable.

I've heard good things about Lego Indy too.

I would totally play Lego Gradius.

Lego Gradius could be a pretty simple Tumiki Fighters hack :wink:

I've played Lego Star Wars II... quite boring, never really fun, and the whole Lego thing was jarring.

I enjoyed the two LEGO Star Wars games. They're just collect-a-thons, but I thought they were more fun than the Ratchet and Clank games which play similar.

Yeah. They are also devoid of any challenge. I've played Lego Star Wars 2 and Lego Indiana Jones. They are fun for a while, but the complete lack of challenge makes them boring on the long run.

I would play a lego game if they went back to the good old days when there were no movie based legos. Lets have a game starring the space sets of the 90's. Ice Planet, Space Police, Spyrius, Blacktron, back when they gave you more than 5 preformed theme pieces and called it a set. The movie tie ins have ruined LEGO sets. I want the sets from the 90's to come back.

No, this game is not Space Invaders.

Based on my experience, I'd probably put Lego Indiana Jones into the "Renter" catrgory. Fun for a while, but after I completed 100% and got the 1,000 gamerscore out of it, I don't have any particular desire to bother playing it anymore.
