    As a big fan of the first game and the lego brand movies (I have seen them all), I was disappointed to play this game. I know it was a budget title going by the price of the game but the game feels phoned in as if the developers used the "open" aspect of the game to pad out the lack of content. Also for 2019 the game looks quite a few years old and doesn't feel polished but really janky.As a big fan of the first game and the lego brand movies (I have seen them all), I was disappointed to play this game.

    I thought the story would be fun but they told it in a really lazy way and it wasn't as fun or funny as the movie (also they missed a big chunk of the end of the movie??). Overall I was very, very disappointed.    … Expand

    This isn't the first time and it will not be the last time we will see games based on movies. Some were successful and some weren't. Unfortunately this game belongs to the last group. And after the movie LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part left almost a month ago, here's the LEGO Movie 2 Videogame developed by Traveler's Tales. Characters like Emmett, Lucy or Batman are present in this game.This isn't the first time and it will not be the last time we will see games based on movies. Some were successful and some weren't. Unfortunately this game belongs to the last group. And after the movie LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part left almost a month ago, here's the LEGO Movie 2 Videogame developed by Traveler's Tales. Characters like Emmett, Lucy or Batman are present in this game.

    No, strangest as it may seem, the game does not follow the story of the movie. What I feel about the story mode of the game, I feel it could be slightly longer and it is noted that it was very poorly developed compared to the movie due to the amount of important storyline left behind.

    Like most LEGO games by Traveler's Tales, it's a Free Mode and doesn't change the formula much. The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame uses the same gameplay as LEGO Worlds. Visually, and being a fan of the Danish brand, the game is good and faithfully represents what is LEGO. However, there is a strange scenario during Free mode on the planet Systarian Jungle. If I try to "land" on one of the huge trees with a flying vehicle, the game kills the doll and vehicle. I know most of the people will find this detail useless or almost and for me it was something that should be rectified with an update, because it is something that doesn't make sense.

    In addition to what I said earlier, the player will have to travel across multiple planets on the Systar System or the Rex-Plorer System to complete quests and sub quests, pick up studs, discover treasures, collect relics, pick up Master Pieces, and build certain objects to overcome X obstacle. Yes we can build flying vehicles, cars, motorbikes, boats, and we can also build structures, namely buildings. This last one, we can only do on the planet Syspocalypstar. As you can see, there is much to do.

    We have items that can help us do lots of things. By giving a few examples, Builder Page helps us build certain kinds of things like generators, vehicles, or buildings. The Binnoculars Scanner can analyze objects and unlock certain paths. Danger Fists knock down certain walls and make life easier against our enemies. Paint Wand paints not only the scenarios of the planets but also objects that have no life. The Jet Wings is a Jet Pack in which we can fly for a certain time.

    There are five types of relics that we will get throughout the game and can be opened in the Shop of each planet: Item Relic, which contains weapons, stickers and the like, Character Relic, which contains characters, Construction Relic, which allows building buildings and vehicles, Super Item Relics, which contains super-skill items and Mega-Relics, which contains an Item Relic, Character Relic, and Construction Relic bundle. If we get a repeat item, we get a Mega-Relic Shard and with five of them we get a Mega-Relic. In the Shops we can also buy Bricks objects, weapons, characters, vehicles and bundles. These bricks bundles, be they orange, white or brown, for example, are used to construct the various objects and vehicles. However, it should be mentioned that I took 2 bugs in the Shop that forced me to restart the game. All of this happened when you opened a Mega-Relic. I couldn't see the prizes or go somewhere.

    By definition, the player can initially only play with Emmet. But over time, the player is getting more characters and can play as Batman, Aquaman, Lucy, Benny or Unikitty. There are more than 100 characters that the player can use, not counting with the personalization (body, arms, hands, legs, hats, hair, heads, cloaks). Content is something not missing in this game of TT. Speaking of the game itself, it's extremely simple and funny. While I think the bosses were slightly harder to make the thing more challenging. But it is understood that this game has been made to be accessible for all ages.

    Regarding the game quests, leaving aside the weak history, I do not have major reasons for complaint. But in the sub-quests, there is some lack of variety and it turns out to be a bit boring. Yes, just like all other LEGO games from TT, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame has a local cooperative mode, but they could have implemented a dynamic Split-Screen to make life easier for gamers. The soundtrack is reasonable and suits the type of game. The camera, as usual, is clumsy in tight places and loadings are a bit long. In short, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame could have been a better game, but the development seems to have been somewhat rushed. Those who are fed up with the old formula of the LEGO games of TT and who hope for news in this game will not find them here.    … Expand

    It's an art form, neigh, a GIFT that this garbage studio is able to release the same game 50 times and yet each subsequent entry plays like the highest calibre rubbish.

    Might want to spend longer making your games, idiots.

    This is honestly one of the worst games I have ever played. I'm only giving it a 1/10 because Legos are pretty fun to play with sometimes. But yeah don't purchase this GARBAGE

    The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is an adventure best taken on your own terms. It’s a fun and imaginative experience that is at its best when you are collecting every character, item, and Master Piece in the game. The only things that hold it back are the long load times and the existence of previous MORE expansive titles in the LEGO Videogame franchise.

    This game is terrible. It has a broken loot box mechanic that feels like they were planing on putting microtransactions into this game but they decided against it last minute. So whats left is just a broken loot box system. The story is down right terrible it doesn't even fell the like the movie of the same name. The "worlds" in this game are all so boring and bland there is nothingThis game is terrible.

The "worlds" in this game are all so boring and bland there is nothing special about any of them.
    This game bares many similarities to lego worlds (which I do not like) and like lego worlds I feel like it could have used more time in the oven cooking. Because this game feels incredibly rushed.
    Save your money, don't buy this game its not worth it.    … Expand

    Lego Movie 2 The Game is a fun game for the younger audience, but if you are a bit older, you will find it slow and repetitive. When you add the fact that it looks exactly like Lego Worlds, with extra characters, the game is not worth the money, and also the time.

    A cracking collectathon for master and aspiring builders alike. Simplistic mechanics make for a relaxing, though no less engaging, experience with plenty to see and do. [Issue#161, p.82]

    All things said and done, this is a good game. It’s not the Lego Movie 2 game I was really wanting but it was fun nonetheless. It does have issues but there is nothing here that players, especially younger ones, are really going to have a problem with. Worth a shot.
