    When i was about 8 i played through the full campaign in this game and i enjoyed it for it's simplicity but now i'm older i realize how bad and soulless this game is. The collectibles (studs and minikits) are incredibly tedious to collect and can sometimes take clearing the hole map of trees to find. People who suffered through the campaign get access to a much wider array of units whichWhen i was about 8 i played through the full campaign in this game and i enjoyed it for it's simplicity but now i'm older i realize how bad and soulless this game is. The collectibles (studs and minikits) are incredibly tedious to collect and can sometimes take clearing the hole map of trees to find. People who suffered through the campaign get access to a much wider array of units which puts them at a massive multiplayer advantage. Not to mention how inaccurate the touch screen is when selecting multiple units and that the slightest obstacle makes units ignore their commands and just stand still. Do not be fooled by the Lego logo this is not a quality game unlike other Lego titles. Do not buy! Expand

    And the most basic element of LEGOs - building things from blocks - is entirely absent. [July 2009, p.86]
  2. LEGO Battles won’t offer the slightest challenge to an avid RTS fan. But overall I can’t complain too much. I had fun, got in a few laughs, and kept coming back for more. Sometimes that’s enough.
  3. LEGO Battles certainly drops the baton on a couple of essential basics, but its light-hearted tone, unit variety, hidden trinkets, and sheer volume of maps keep it a good value for dedicated fans of this angular toy world.
