All of the build instructions for LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ vehicles and gadgets are available within the game. If the vehicle or gadget you would like to build is part of a Story Pack or Level Pack, begin playing through the pack’s game level and you will unlock the instructions as part of the level’s storyline. Once you get to the part of the gamplay that requires the use of said character’s vehicle or gadget, Build Instructions will be presented on screen. If the vehicle or gadget you are trying to build is part of a Team Pack or Fun Pack, you will be able to access the Build Instructions by placing the character associated with the item on the LEGO Toy Pad.
Once you have placed the character on the LEGO Toy Pad, ensure you are actively playing as that character in game, and then an on screen prompt will ask if you want to build the vehicle or gadget associated with that character. When you have advanced through the build instructions, you will be prompted to place your vehicle or gadget toy tag in the center section of the LEGO Toy Pad. You can also re-access the build instructions through the LEGO DIMENSIONS Gateway or the character wheel. WHAT ARE BATTLE ARENAS? DIDN'T FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

Performed by Jo Li See more »The game of the film of the toy is more than just a promotional tie-in, but is it the next gen Lego game fans have been waiting for? Never mind the video game, what we would definitely recommend to everyone is to go out and see The Lego Movie. A bizarre mixture of Toy Story, Idiocracy, and Nineteen Eighty-Four, the film is as funny as it is scathing in its anti-authoritarian, non-conformist rhetoric. And all this while essentially being a two-hour advert for some very expensive toys. It shouldn’t have worked, but like the chimeric brick creations featured throughout it absolutely does. Sadly, and inevitably, the film’s anti-establishment themes are largely lost in the game, as the villain of the piece (no pun intended) is portrayed as orchestrating a straightforward end-of-the world plan. Unlike most movie tie-ins nowadays this seeks to adapt the events of the film with relatively little embellishment, which means that you absolutely have to see the movie first or all the best jokes will be ruined for you.
Especially as the game has an unusually generous number of (highly compressed) cut scenes taken straight from the film. Assuming you do experience them the right way round you’ll find that the major problem with the Lego Movie game is that it is actively pursuing the very opposite message to the one the film is trying to spread. In the movie everyman Lego guy Emmett is encouraged to, literally, give up the instruction books and do things his way. In the game though you have to do exactly what you’re told. This includes an entirely un-ironic need to collect and use… instruction books – which you then watch the game use to build Lego creations, and where your only input is to spot the odd missing piece. Even less interactive is when characters take three highlighted clumps of Lego and combine them into a new form, a process over which you have no control whatsoever. Traveller’s Tales have been making Lego games for almost a decade now and so it’s going to be no surprise to find that, despite a few wrinkles in the formula, this is just the same as all the other ones.
Change is especially unlikely given how little time there is to make them: Lego Marvel only came out in November, while Lego The Hobbit is out in just a few months. As entertaining as the games are they don’t really encapsulate the creativity of the toys, and have owed a lot of their success to parodying whatever other franchise they’re based on. In the video game world the real Lego equivalent is Minecraft, and yet Lego has never shown any serious intention of creating their own rival. So instead what you have here is the same co-op action adventure as usual, just with a slightly different emphasis on the various elements. There are almost no vehicles in the main story levels and even the ones in the world hubs are barely used, while what little combat there is turns out to be the most simplistic and unsatisfying in any of the games so far. Instead puzzle-solving and exploration is pushed more to the fore, although again the puzzles are less complicated than many of the more recent games.
For understandable reasons The Lego Movie seems to be aimed at a younger audience than titles like Lego Marvel and Lego Lord Of The Rings, but only in terms of gameplay. We noted in its review that Lego Marvel’s script seemed to be pitched several years younger than usual, despite the gameplay being more involved than the average. The Lego Movie is the opposite, as although most of its best gags are from the film the new dialogue is almost equally funny, and will be appreciated most by an older audience. Especially the portrayal of Batman as a self-centred braggart and the knowing sarcasm of Lord Business and Wyldstyle. And although the credits make it unclear whether anyone from the film reprised their roles or not the voiceovers are good enough that we couldn’t tell anyway. While many will accept the lack of change, even given that this would’ve been an obvious point to institute it, the only real disappointment with The Lego Movie game is that it’s a lot shorter than the other games.
You can speed through all the story levels in around five hours and although there are four main hub world they’re all much smaller than the open world environments from most of the other recent games. It’s still not exactly a small game – we’d estimate you’d need about 18 hours to 100 per cent it – but it doesn’t offer anywhere like the longevity or value for money of something like Lego Marvel. On the upside though Lego Movie doesn’t have anywhere near as many bugs. We only had it crash on us once, and there are very few of the usual graphical and artificial intelligence glitches. Graphically this is billed as being the first of the games where everything, including the environments, are made out of Lego and from an art design perspective that is true. But as you’d probably guess a lot of this is just a matter of switching realistic textures for ones that look like Lego bricks. There’s no more, or less, destruction than a normal Lego game and often times some bricks can be smashed while others, that look almost identical, are left standing.
