LEGO Dimensions: Starter Pack (PS4)

Product Information

I took a look and it's beyond my understanding how someone can spend so much money on this. But to each their own. Secondly, it is well-known that Lego is expensive (but justified due to quality). It is also well-known that TTL games are expensive (but justified because of... hype? I don't know really - there must be a reason beyond collectable figurines anyway). What we have here is either one of two things: The boxart has many different Adventure Worlds on it, the largest being The Lord of the Rings World on it.

The Toy Pad base has 3 different versions: Xbox 360, Xbox One, and a multiplatform variant PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Wii U. I am finding the discussion below the article a lot more interesting than the article itself. My own observations: nparker Who's throwing a tantrum? We're sharing our thoughts on the article, apparently people feel differently.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. 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. 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 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). A TTL video game uses Near Field Communications (NFC) to read and write digital information to a figure. Most of the games that use this technology involve a "portal" or "gamepad" which can read the information on the figure and transfer it into the game; so one second a figure is just collecting dust on your shelf and the next you are running around new worlds with that character in a video game. It can be quite fun if done properly or extremely frustrating when the product doesn't meet expectations. I can't think of another toy brand that would lend itself better to a TTL game than LEGO and with TT Games, the people behind other amazing LEGO video games such as LEGO Harry Potter and LEGO Jurassic World, responsible for bringing these franchises to life there is little need for trepidation.

Get ready to break the rules, because the only rule with LEGO Dimensions is that there are no rules. The cinematics are beautifully rendered" - would be true about 10 years ago. Generally speaking, the Lego based games are quite a bit behind technologically. It is true to say this is the best of the Lego based games. Which was not a huge achievement, considering how mediocre (at best) the older releases were.Firstly, the article is unashamadly positive about the game. People who are not comfortable with that should not trust a single source when forming their own opinion. This is an amazing review which I really enjoyed reading as I was leaning something new. It completely changed my mind about Lego Dimension. Play Alone or with a Friend. Players can let imagination guide their solo journey or have a friend join the adventure with co-operative, drop-in/drop-out play. 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. 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.
