The LEGO Movie Videogame
Join Emmet and an unlikely group of resistance fighters in their heroic quest to thwart Lord Business' evil plans - a mission that Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously unprepared for. It's a wild ride with a surprising mix of over 90 playable characters including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Green Ninja, Gandalf, Shakespeare, Cleopatra and more.
What it feels like
Comedic, irreverent humor and a whimsical tone emphasize fun over seriousness. The game invites experimentation with its varied characters and mechanics, celebrating inventive play.
What it's about
A classic hero's journey with Emmet and friends questing to defeat Lord Business' evil plans. The unlikely group of resistance fighters bonding and working together is a supporting theme.
How it plays
Close-quarters combat against enemies is a core activity throughout the game, though not the primary focus. Solving puzzles by manipulating and building with LEGO objects in the game world is a core mechanic. Building and constructing with LEGO objects is integral to solving puzzles and progressing.
How it looks and sounds
The camera follows characters from behind or over the shoulder throughout gameplay. Colorful, cheerful LEGO aesthetics with bright saturated colors dominate the visual identity. LEGO minifigures and blocky, rounded character design evoke a playful, family-friendly cuteness.
How it's structured
A bounded story arc following Emmet and the resistance against Lord Business with a definite narrative conclusion. Split-screen cooperative play for up to four players is a core advertised feature. The game progresses through discrete stages in a largely fixed order, though some exploration is possible.
