LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack (Xbox One)

Product Information

PROS: The Lego adventure platform is well developed and they manage to push it ahead (slightly) once again. The variety of mashed-up characters isn't as silly as it sounds (although sometimes it is very silly) and it works thematically if you accept the storyline. Compared to all the other similar "Video Gaming Toys" (Skylanders, Disney Infinity) systems I felt this had the best portal/interface and has pretty much completely devalued all the others we own overnight. (That could also be a con I suppose, but it's really THAT much better.) Also, voice acting is truly top notch, in ALMOST every instance the voices provided are the original actors. If you Google for the list of Lego Dimensions Voice Actors you'll see a very impressive list, it's remarkable! In the UK and Ireland, Lego Dimensions landed at number 2 on the sales charts in its first week. Sales had surpassed in comparison to first week sales of other 2015 toys-to-life game competitors Skylanders: Superchargers and Disney Infinity 3.0.

In any case we enjoyed building and then playing with all of these characters in the digital world quite a bit. My kids still duke it out in a 4-way battle arena from time to time.

But the gameplay strength of the LEGO series has always been with its environmental puzzles, and Dimensions features some of the most creative yet seen in the series. They start simply, with the game giving you the ability to teleport characters around, or change their size, or lend them specific elemental powers. By the end, when you're asked to combine powers in increasingly intricate ways to progress past puzzles, finding the right solutions was often times rewarding.

After they rebuild the gadget that created the portal, the trio search for a series of Keystones that are missing from the machine, finding them in various worlds throughout the LEGO Multiverse. Along the way, they meet and assist characters that range from Homer Simpson to Scooby-Doo to the Doctor, eventually recruiting an interdimensional army with which to oppose Vortech. Playing LEGO Dimensions on an Xbox One, we were hit with a surprisingly hefty 19 GB patch right out the gate when we went to install the game. It took about 25 minutes to install, then update it.

When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings and The LEGO Movie are swept away. To save their friends, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle bravely jump into the vortex. As they journey to locations beyond their wildest imaginations in search of their friends, they soon realize that Lord Vortech is summoning villains from across different LEGO worlds to help him gain control. As his power grows, worlds mix, unexpected characters meet and all boundaries are broken. Our heroes must travel through space and time to rescue their friends before the vortexes destroy all of LEGO humanity. Make no mistake: while much of the humor, references, and gags may be aimed at grown-up gamers, LEGO Dimensions is still unabashedly a family-friendly game, one that's best played with an adult assisting a child.
