The portal comes as a set of bricks, which need to be built before you get started as do the players themselves. For those of us who are fans of one but not the other that might affect their view of the game's value. These characters have all appeared before in sets based on their respective IPs, although the combination of Batman's old cowl with his new torso design is exclusive to this pack.

I should mention that you need not worry about losing pieces or the minifigures; as long as you still have the disc, the game is playable. Like I say a terrible, one sided review that didn't even attempt to see, let alone highlight, any potential faults. They unlock the adventure worlds for DC Comics (Aquaman, Batman, Green Arrow and Supergirl), The Lord of the Rings (Gandalf), The LEGO Movie (Wyldstyle) and Ninjago (Lloyd).We will kick off our LEGO Dimensions reviews by taking a closer look at 71171 LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack.

The mechanics allow casual and hardcore gamers to jump right in and feel comfortable, as well as a little challenged at times.This is possible in other TTL video games but only outside of the main story which has been one of my biggest complaints about those games. These add-ons are not necessary to complete the game 100%; they merely add to the overall experience. The fact that you can get them a year or more after their release for much cheaper doesn't mean a game released DAYS ago should be expected to be cheaper than that. The cinematics are beautifully rendered and could be cut together to make an excellent movie with a few small additions. I really like the use of light and dark blue along with the gray as it brightens the model nicely and the trans-light blue claws produce an excellent wormhole effect.

What we have here are people who are at the opposite ends of that continuum experiencing values dissonance due to talking to those at the other end of that continuum. The game is spread across the breath of these brand's universes, bringing the worlds together by teaming up unlikely allies in a quest to defeat Lord Vortex. But the fun packs and team packs give you about as many physical toys and about as much content as you'd get from Disney Infinity, Amiibo, and Skylanders. The circle in the middle is big enough to place one of the game discs inside and it fits nicely over the circle on the electronic part of the gamepad.It can be quite fun if done properly or extremely frustrating when the product doesn't meet expectations. Given the success of the movie, the interest in this title will be piqued by children and adults alike.

There was a new LEGO game coming from TT Games and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it but it became immediately apparent that this game would be a dramatic departure from any of the previous titles. Most of the games that use this technology involve a "portal" or "gamepad" which can read the information on the figure and transfer it into the game; so one second a figure is just collecting dust on your shelf and the next you are running around new worlds with that character in a video game. Figurines provided are Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle from the Lego Movie, and since there are vehicles in this game, a Batmobile is also included. The possibilities for excitement during gameplay are endless, with the brand's titles including Star Wars and Marvel Comics tipped to make an appearance. It is said that he who controls the Foundational Elements that this planet is built upon, controls all of the Multiverse.

Characters are interchangeable with vehicles, for example one can command Batman to drive the DeLorean time machine whilst fighting alongside the Wicked Witch of the West. The sheer number of popular franchises found in one place might seem overwhelming to some but being able to send Gimli the Dwarf riding a Velociraptor through Springfield was a major selling point for me.
