Hey Kevin, I too love the game can't wait to enjoy but I opted for the Wii U version. Do you have insight into any differences between the Wii U version and the others? Anything notable? Or is it really just the same.
I do know this, but in the larger scope of gaming and reviewing the game has to be judged with the same criteria as any other game. It can't be labeled "kids game" then get a pass. 6.5 is very fair considering TT has done the same thing with all these games and has not really tried to innovate in any meaningful way. Just because it's "kids game " does mean it has to be dumbed down to nothing but hit A B C and collect the shiney gold medal. TT has gotten a pass here for too long, I can't believe the higher ratings on this Eurogamer gave it a 9 ??!!
Personally I agree with Tom, I think all Lego games are too simplistic. Go here collect these peices, zip line to here, BORING. 6.5 seems about right. The CUTENESS FACTOR IS OVER 5 Lego's ago. I hated the other Lego games mostly and I have / had most of them including Star Wars Trililogy, Indy Jones, and Lego Batman 1. If you took away the Characters they would all be the same game. 8s and 8.5s? You have to be kidding. Good Job Tom not being swayed by popular demand. Popularity is way over rated. Katey Perry? Justin Bieber? I'm about to throw up.
