    Still hilarious. Still addictive. But while the toy/game mechanics are cleverer than competition, far too much extra investment is required to make Dimensions as satisfying and features-full as ye olde TT LEGO games. [Christmas 2015, p76]

    An excellent Lego crossover game, and it's a solid toys-to-life-tie-in. The price is pretty steep, but Dimensions gives you plenty of reasons to invest. [Issue#263, p.68]

    A great game hampered by a new model.

    This is one of the best Lego games in years and the toy-to-life interactions are fantastically handled via inventive uses for the docking station and the three characters. Not being able to tick off all the usual in-game collectibles without paying a fortune for extra characters is a poorly judged slap in the face for fans of the series though.

    LEGO Dimensions feels like it wants to be the ultimate LEGO game, but never quite gets there.

    Lego Dimensions is the ultimate Lego game, a charming adventure that has glaring flaws. Its portal is a delight, but the reminders of the areas you’re missing out on grate.

    LEGO Dimensions could have been a really good challenger for Skylanders. Plenty of IP's at disposal, some good and new ideas about using NFC figures differently... But the game is far too hard to read from time to time, its difficulty level is too random and, last but not least, the LEGO Dimensions Packs are way too expensive.

    this is quite possibly the definitive lego game ever made. the main story line is huge and for add replay the individual world that you canthis is quite possibly the definitive lego game ever made. the main story line is huge and for add replay the individual world that you can freely explore afterwards are big. I took a break from the main storyline and visited the lord of the rings world and its big has all the places from the movie you would expect. you can freely explore and do random quests. and the world s looks amazing. this game I recommend. it is definitely better than infinity or sky landers and in the long run cost less. as this is not a yearly buy and the developers will just keep adding level packs and worlds for at least the next three years so the toys you buy wont be useless next year like the other two competitors.… Full Review »

    Stay away from this one, unless you're willing to be frustrated by the paywalls in the game. The starter pack only lets you obtain 2 minikitsStay away from this one, unless you're willing to be frustrated by the paywalls in the game. The starter pack only lets you obtain 2 minikits out of 10 per story level, and only access three hub worlds out of a dozen. Everything else comes at 15,20 or 30$ a pop. It's very annoying to see how often a gold cube, which tells you you need a premium character, pops.

    Only buy this if you like the actual toys and are willing to spend upward of 200$ on the property. Otherwise get an older lego game; you'll find them cheaper and with more content.    … Full Review »

    - I briefly ran into slowdown.    … Full Review »
