The Lego series usually concentrates on puzzle-solving, teamwork, and button mashing combat; which sounds simple, but has led to some great games. One area we haven’t seen Lego move into yet is the first-person action/shooter genre, but thanks to a fan-made video, we can finally see just how awesome that would be. YouTuber Andrewmfilms takes the world of Legos to the first-person perspective, throwing child-freidnly violence violence and scary obstacles at the user – something that Lego fans are certainly not used to. The 3D animated tribute to Lego recreates some of the most popular and iconic FPS experiences ever, including; Bioshock, Counter-Strike, and Portal. The video does a fantastic job of recreating the look and feel of real-life Legos. The characters featured in the video in the video move much more like Legos pieces would in reality, rather than the more fluid way they do in current Lego games. That Robot Chicken-esque touch combined with the references to iconic weapons, characters, and mechanics from the other games make the video a must-see for fans of gaming.
The video kicks off with the legendary cold open to Portal and the action continues from there. Seeing the magic user attacks from Skyrim and the world of Rapture recreated in Lego kind of makes us wish that those franchises would be joining Portal as add-on content for LEGO Dimensions. Counter-Strike players will also get a kick out of seeing the Lego jump up and down during the video’s final shoot out before the gamer rage quits… Just like a lot of players would do in real life while playing the game. The Lego: First Person Shooter video isn’t quite as flashy as the recent Halo vs Call of Duty live action short, but it is just as entertaining and crams even more gaming references into just about the same running time. If you enjoyed the video, the creator has a list of other video game-inspired shorts on his channel. What do you think of the Lego: First Person Shooter video? Would you like to see a feature-length Lego game use this style? LEGO Dimensions releases on September 27, 2015 for PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
The Lego Batman Movie works precisely because it knows audiences are sick of its hero. It's a reassessment, an intervention, an effort to try and remember what's fun about him. February 15, 2017 | The sequel of sorts... is not quite as good, but at its best, it has the same whiplash wit and inspired freneticism. February 10, 2017 | The thing about a sequel or a spinoff, even a mostly fun one like The LEGO Batman Movie, is that it's hard to recreate enthusiasm and inventiveness. What was once new is now, already, routine. Overall, The Lego Batman Movie offers enough action and silliness to enthrall children while providing sufficient pop culture and Batman-through-the-years references to keep adults entertained. Basically, it's a standard-issue Batman narrative - arguably better than 50 per cent of history's other Batman films - that just happens to take place in a Lego-fied world. It's the Bat-spoof we didn't know we needed and it gives Batman a chance to loosen up.
