For instance, several characters that appear in the movie only momentarily will have much more focus placed on them in the game, which will use its larger spaces to facilitate entire missions and backstories around them. Levels in The Lego Movie 2 Videogame are going to be much more open ended than players are usually used to seeing in Lego games, and while that will of course impact moment-to-moment gameplay and exploration in interesting ways, the developers are also leveraging these larger levels to do other interesting things as well. Multiple Lego eras will be represented in the game through, including the likes of Blacktron Alliance, Pharaoh’s Quest, and Johnny Thunder. Just like the first game (and both the movies, of course), The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is being built by developers TT Fusion as the ultimate fan service experience for Lego fans. The Lego Movie 2 Videogame will be attempting to do just that, taking world, events, and set-pieces from the movie that the developers felt would specifically make for great gameplay sections, rather than just copy-pasting all of it wholesale. Movie tie-ins haven’t always worked out very well in our medium, but the Lego games always seem to find the right ways to make them work. In addition to new worlds based on the ones in the movie itself, several worlds from the first game will also be returning. In The Lego Movie 2 Videogame, the worlds we’ll be visiting are going to be almost as important as the characters we’ll be playing as- and apparently, there’s going to be plenty of worlds to visit. Emmet will build himself a mech that he will then pilot, Lucy will build massive speakers that sound out explosive waves, while Batman will be able to bat-build a huge Bat-Turret. Each of the Master Builders from the first movie (or game) will have unique build attacks of their own, where each character will build something special to then use in combat. Speaking of build attacks- these sound particularly interesting. While they haven’t gone into detail about what to expect by way of said enhancements other than mentioning special “build attacks” for each character, we can probably look forward to new combos and abilities. That said, developers TT Fusion have said that combat mechanics in the game will be “enhanced”.
We pretty much already know what to expect from combat in The Lego Movie 2 Videogame– simple, fun, and accessible, like any other game in the series.
On top of that, new “mysterious” additions like General Mayhem and Rex Dangervest will also be joining the party.
There are going to be over 100 playable characters, which include, of course, the likes of Emmet, Lucy, and Batman, in addition to several returning characters from the first game as well. Lego games have always offered massive and varied rosters of playable characters, and The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is going to be no different. This mechanic, according to the developers, will also impact puzzles quite a bit. Using the Lego bricks that you pick up during gameplay, you’ll be able to build structures freely, any time and anywhere. Speaking of building- a larger focus on building mechanics in The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is the one area in which the game is doing something that is quite different from previous Lego titles. The Lego Movie 2 Videogame features a sandbox mode, where players will be able to use the creation tools on offer to let their imaginations run wild and build whatever the tools allow them to. Rebuilding the world, as we just discussed, will be an important part of the game’s story mode, but players will also have the option to flex their creative muscles elsewhere. Obviously, it now falls to Emmet and his friends to not only rescue even more characters, but also to rebuild the world. Emmet and other characters find themselves in a Bricksburg left in ruins in the wake of the invasion by the alien monsters. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fourteen things you should know about it.īeing a movie tie-in, The Lego Movie 2 Videogame will, of course, feature a similar setup. Another Lego game is almost upon us, and The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is promising exactly those things, with some additions of its own. With each new game made in this series, we know exactly what to expect – charming humour and enjoyable gameplay, among other things – and it’s always good. The Lego series is the video game equivalent of comfort food.
