The LEGO Movie Videogame puts LEGO kids into the role of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Players guide Emmet as he is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

I bought this back in June 2014 with every intent of playing it then and there, but the lack of video resolution settings meant that I would have had to play it in my office and not in my living room, which is bleh.  I really only do work in my office now days, so this one fell to the bottom of my ‘to play’ list.  I was drinking a couple weeks ago and installed it on a whim to see if they had changed it, and while they hadn’t changed the ability to set the video resolution, they had made it use the native resolution of the system, so that worked enough for me to get into the game and play it through.  I’m a huge fan of the Lego games from the last 5 years, they’ve really shown how Corporate Synergy can happen for the better, even if Star Wars was left out of the video game experience (they had cameos in the movie). There’s plenty of DC stuff in here though, which makes sense since WB owns DC, so this is really just a DC/Lego Movie Game.

If you’ve ever played a Lego game before, you know how what to expect.  I for one loved it.
