With videogames now often costing millions of pounds to make, it is hardly surprising really that so many developers play it safe and release sequels to popular past hits. After already hitting high-street gold with Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, developer TT Games (previously known as Traveller's Tales) followed it up with Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. So far, so cash-in.
Now though the Cheshire-based developer has decided to leave George Lucas's cherished franchise well alone and has turned instead to another of the bearded one's trilogies; the Indiana Jones films. But can PLAY expect a new change in direction from the other Lego videogames? Will PLAY be treated to bold new gameplay innovations that expand upon the original games? Don't be silly. After all, why change a winning formula when you know that it already makes cash tills ring.
Sure, they may be made for a child audience, but TT Games' Lego games are still incredibly fun for any age! Here's our ranking of the very best.
I dislike the LEGO games after the first one I played. They are just cut and paste with a new skin- My son liked them so we had a few over the years .Star Wars, Lord of the Rings , Batman but after the first it just felt like an extension of the first game on an endless loop
They are ok games, but every single one of them are basically the same. I enjoyed Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 and then the complete collection, but every other one after that has just been the same thing and it got a little dull.
had a lot more fun with Lego Marvel Superheroes than any other lego game.
Might be partly due to the fact there wasn't a lot else to play on my new PS4 when it came out
Carlos writes "Ah, Indi, you make your return, and whilst many people are likely to complain at the newest addition to the Backwards Compatible library - due mainly to the fact it isn’t one of the last remaining Call of Duty titles to arrive via the program - there will certainly be many others who will be excited by the addition."
Star Wars video games are great, but they aren’t the only place that your favorite Star Wars characters show up! You might be surprised to find out that you can play as Yoda, Darth Maul, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Jango Fett in other video games.
I really liked using Vader and Starkiller in Soulcaliber. A full-blown Star Wars fighting game could potentially be fantastic.
Secret Weapons over Normandy was new to me. That game must also be so old that it could run on a smart phone
Man I love Darth maul in Tony hawk 3!! And Man do I miss good Tony hawk games they should just remake one two and 3 all in one deal I would buy it in a heart beat.
