LEGO Dimensions: Starter Pack (PS4)

Product Information

Because of this, if you want to play on a different console, you'll just need the Toy Pad that works with the console you're trying to use. Xbox One and Xbox 360 both use their own specialty toypad, whereas the Wii U, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 all use the same toypad and can be interchanged at will. More is Better. Bring up to seven minifigures, vehicles and/or gadgets into the game all at once by dropping them on the LEGO® Toy Pad for the most exciting and action-filled game around. Evil Lord Vortex has created a powerful vortex that has made an appearance across several Lego universes where different characters in each world have been swept away. To save them, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle jump right into the vortex to save Lego humanity. 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. One can team up with a wealth of characters from:

Introducing the Supergirl from Krypton!" This article contains Exclusive or exclusive for a period of time Content. nparker Who's throwing a tantrum? We're sharing our thoughts on the article, apparently people feel differently. A lot of people, and I mean a lot, seem to see these as overpriced because they are looking at them as just Lego sets. They are not, they are part of a game too. If you're not going to play the game, then these sets are not for you. The price includes more than just the physical Lego because that is what the product is. There is no good judging a set while separating the various elements of the product and complaining that it is too much money for just one element of the set. That would be like me buying an Ikea bookshelf, and complaining that it is overpriced because it costs more than one shelf is worth.Did I miss it or was there even any mention of the far far greater cost of Dimensions to other TTL games? If not how can it be washed over so easily? DanRSL, tantrum is an accurate description for a small rant based on unreasonable expectations of a review- cheshirecat missed the point of a review and did just that. Fans of Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Amibo will be familiar with the "Toys to Life" category of games, with Lego Dimensions being their addition, which works by placing an NFC reader and writer at the base of a figure or vehicle that connects to an NFC portal that in turn projects them into the game. Dimensions is rated PEGI 7, and therefore designed for children from seven years and over. Given the success of the movie, the interest in this title will be piqued by children and adults alike. Game Plot While I think it's a shame that it isn't available for PC, this follows market trends because as far as I know TTL has never been available for PC and is directed towards kids who have access to a family console.

expense halved - the increase to the price of a Lego set, or the increase to a TTL game results in an overall experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. To those of us who like the TTL and Lego convergence this is a no brainer.When LEGO Dimensions was first announced in early 2015 I was excited and nervous in equal measure. 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. The new game would be a "Toys-to-Life" game (commonly abbreviated to TTL) and I had been burned by TTL games before. Dropping hundreds of dollars into unsatisfying games such as Skylanders and Disney Infinity left me hesitant to see the LEGO name attached to a similar project. However, by the time the announcement trailer ended I knew I had nothing to worry about. LEGO was in good hands and together with TT Games, they were ready to Break the Rules. However, the portal is undoubtedly the star of the build and is the most detailed aspect of the set. While it is relatively simple it's still amazing to see a circular object made with angular LEGO pieces. The entire assembly is fitted to the base using a couple of Technic axles so it is very sturdy. 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.

LEGO Dimensions: Starter Pack - idealo

I'm not going to debate whether LEGO Dimensions is a fair value in general, because really that's a debate about the toys-to-life category in general, a category that I have little firsthand experience with. I sure couldn't tell you why this category of video games has taken off the way it has. This is an amazing review which I really enjoyed reading as I was leaning something new. It completely changed my mind about Lego Dimension. Like others have already said this review is way too gushing, and barely takes cost into account, which especially for TTL is a bigger factor than a typical game or Lego set review.

LEGO Dimensions has captured my attention. The real and digital worlds of LEGO have been melded seamlessly, offering multiple levels of thoroughly enjoyable play. The Starter Set comes with an excellent LEGO build and, based on the first few levels of gameplay, a compelling story, which make this a must buy game for even casual LEGO video game fans in my opinion. I took a look and it's beyond my understanding how someone can spend so much money on this. But to each their own. I went out of my way to break down just WHY I feel differently (tl;dr version: exorbitant cost). I also explained how that applies to both the sets as game content and as physical sets. (tl;dr version: both are comparatively outrageous).

I am finding the discussion below the article a lot more interesting than the article itself. My own observations: When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings™ and The LEGO® Movie are swept away. To save their friends, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle bravely jump into the vortex. As they journey to locations beyond their wildest imaginations in search of their friends, they soon realize that Lord Vortech is summoning villains from across different LEGO® worlds to help him gain control. As his power grows, worlds mix, unexpected characters meet and all boundaries are broken. Our heroes must travel through space and time to rescue their friends before the vortexes destroy all of LEGO® humanity.The Aquaman Exclusive is available only at Toys-R-Us and is available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Is the wealth of IP a good thing? Or does it make for a diluted experience of trawling through elements you have no interest in? I certainly have no interest in playing through/with a chima or ninjago theme, not really scooby doo. Portal yes, Batman ok, Lego movie perhaps. Lotr no. I and my kids love LEGO star wars, but I wouldn't have wanted to have swapped the Ep4 section for some LEGO atlantis.
