FOUR LEGO GAMES YOU SHOULD PLAY
LEGO Indiana Jones:
The Original Adventures
Pick this one up if only to hear the
satisfying crack of Indy’s whip in its
LEGO version. The original adventures
include everything from
Raiders of the
Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom,
and
The
Last Crusade.
LEGO Star Wars: The
Complete Saga
Relive the original Star Wars stories
before the graphics got good. The
Complete Saga is just as you’d expect –
everything from Episodes I-VI, including
the Mos Espa Pod Race and the return of
Bounty Hunter missions.
LEGO Marvel’s Avengers
A true homage to the Marvel comic
universe,
LEGO Marvel’s Avengers
includes not only characters from the
film, but also fan-favourites yet to make
it to the big show. Expect to see the likes
of Squirrel Girl and Fin Fang Foom as you
traipse around Manhattan.
LEGO Pirates of the
Caribbean: The Video Game
From the film that introduced you to
the word “parlay”, the LEGO Pirates
adaptation lets you delve deep into the
world of Cap’n Jack Sparrow and co., all
without worrying about that ridiculous
Johnny Depp apology video.
abilities and weapons.
Gameplay will see the return, of course,
of building, introducing what is called
“multibuilds”– multiple constructs from the
same allotment of bricks that give you the
chance to tackle situations from different
angles.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
sees a
welcome return to the beloved humour of the
series – in gameplay trailers we’ve already seen
Poe competing with toast in the cockpit of his
TIE Fighter, and BB-8 crashing into a sandcastle
on Jakku. There’s always something going on in
the background, and plenty of gags that’ll leave
you wishing you’d thought of them yourself.
However,
The Force Awakens
will still tackle
the darker scenes of the film, perhaps in a less
tragic way; after all, it’s important to stay true
to the events of the film whilst still making it
accessible for all ages.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
is a
great way to keep yourself busy while you
eagerly await the release of
Rogue One: A
Xxxxxx
Star Wars Story
. Featuring
content you won’t get
anywhere else, TT Fusion’s
latest is a must-have for anyone
looking for a Force fix. In the
immortal words of our favourite protocol droid,
we “don’t think we’ll ever be accustomed to
such excitement.”
A welcome return to the
beloved humour of the series.
