I've always been a sucker for the LEGO video games. They have been consistently enjoyable, if sometimes a bit frustrating (and sometimes buggy). This game has not been an exception. Like the other LEGO games, you break everything, get bolts, rebuild useful items, and use different characters for various tasks. The only difference is that you actually have physical models of the characters and vehicles that you use.
I was sucked in and just recently finished the main game--which I wanted to do before I started adding in the additional packs. It was as though the game were designed with my tastes in mind. An entire level was devoted to Dr. Who (including an area with Weeping Angels that made Rowen stop playing the game) and another to one of my favorite video games: Portal. I even have Michael and KITT from Knight Rider as well as BA from the A Team!
I have a feeling that I'll be playing this one for a while.
