Lego Dimensions
SCORE: 58
We purchased Lego Dimensions on the PS4 on Black Friday. We went up
to sixty-five dollars and that is definitely too expensive for this toy
to video game hybrid. A lot of Lego Dimensions feels like a sample of
the various worlds. Lego Dimensions tries to hook families into buying
all the different level worlds. Which makes Lego Dimensions a very
expensive proposition.
When you start playing Lego Dimensions, or add anything new you need to
connect it to the Internet. After that Lego Dimensions can be played
offline. The initial download of Lego Dimensions was over six gigs.
Massive, and a huge drain on Internet resources. I am disappointed in WB
Games, and TT Games. They should have been supportive of the offline
video game movement. They failed with Lego Dimensions.
The physical Lego portal is a pain to build in Lego Dimensions. Plus it
is fragile, and breaks easily. Families also have to constantly swap
characters on the portal in the game play of Lego Dimensions. Which
means keeping the portal close, and going from the screen to the portal.
Which means taking hits, missing things, and walking off ledges because
your gaze is on the portal and not the television screen. Then there are
lock-ups, glitches, and bugs.
Lego Dimensions is really strange in terms of game play. Some levels
have saves in every room, and others only have them when you get to the
level boss. The level worlds in Lego Dimensions are tiny. Here is
another disappointment with Lego Dimensions. For the amount of money,
Lego Dimensions is nowhere near worth it. If all the levels, characters,
and packs were included in the one hundred dollar price then it might
be.
Parts of Lego Dimensions can be fun. It is neat to see Back to the
Future, Dr Who and more in Lego Dimensions. There are so many potential
franchises that could be used in Lego Dimensions. I wish Lego Dimensions
was not so over-priced, and lacking in content. Almost every other
recent Lego video game contains more content than Lego Dimensions for a
much better price.
