A great game with some issues

10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Almost, but not quite"
My overall opinion of this game is that it is great and very entertaining... for some time. Quests are fun and it seems as entertaining as any other Lego game, like Lego Star Wars and Harry Potter. But there are a few things that I would like to see improved.
First off, you create a character and give him a name. Already here I experience my first minor problem. The name has to be approved before it can be used. You can enter the game with a name you have in the meantime. I tried calling my char NielBrickens. Appearently they will not approve that, so I try again and call him RickyBlack. Not approved either and at last I give him Memborg01, since Memborg is my middle name. They approve that, but why cant I have an awesome name. The thing about them approving names is to protect children against harrasing names which is good, but not being able to have a cool name in an MMO is bad.
The world is yet surprisingly small. When I say yet, it is because they are expanding the game over time. There are a few bugs in the game but it is hardly worth mentioning. Another thing that might irritate you, is chatting. Their system is upside down. Instead of choosing words you cant use, like f''' and so, they have chosen some words you can use. You cant say dual-wield or dual wield on chat. Dual wield is such a bad word XD as well as two or 2 which I cant write either. So you have to reformulate your statement on chat untill you can write it.
In a MMO you need to be able to communicate without any problems. Interacting with others is vital in MMO's. Combat can somtimes be a pain, but if you are used to Lego games and like them, then there shouldn't be much of a problem. Basicly, this is a good game, but I'm not sure I would pay so much every month for this game. The membership price should be lowered, but that is just about it. If you are considering to buy this game, but not sure if you want to, in case you get disapointed, just buy it. If you can even consider buying it, then it's because there is still a little child in you that loves playing with Lego and you can be almost sure, that you will love it, despite the few things that could need improvement.
