The first Lego Movie was a revelation and the game that launched with it, wasn't bad either. But, can Lego recreate the magic? The short answer to that question is just about, but not quite. Like most Lego games, a dominant theme is to take the content of the original and give it a funny tongue-in-cheek, child-friendly Lego twist. While this is easy to do with other movies that actually benefit from the Lego outlook, it takes a lot of skill.

The story starts with Duplo Aliens invading Bricksburg and the survivors of that invasion setting up a town called Apocalypseburg. It is essentially a wasteland of salvaged bricks. You start with Emmet and through the course of the game, you can switch between characters. The wasteland serves as a tutorial stage, teaching you the basics of the game. As usual, the game handholds you through the entire process, which is great for kids.
