Still 79 on Metacritic with 23 reviews. Will likely settle in the 78-81 range I think.

Looks like, as with Awakening, we won't here much more on the subject of the game until closer to the EU launch.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

have they said what the nintendo network features are yet?  I've heard its for miiverse but other games that support miiverse don't have the nintendo network logo on them.  just wondering

If Miiverse is actually built into LEGO City like it was with New Super Mario Bros. U, that might be an explanation.

So, from what I've gathered:

Pros:
*Lego style collection element
*Charm
*Great for kids

Cons:
*Loading Times
*No Multiplayer
*Retains weak points of other Lego games like platforming

Conclusion: A decent open world game, and not a bad exclusive, but not a must-buy like many were hoping for.



Maybe I'll get this when it's cheaper, but for now, I still have launch ports like Assassin's Creed to play and titles like Monster Hunter 3U, Injustice, Need for Speed, and Pikmin 3 to look forward to.



Love and tolerate.

There's one more pro: really decent writing. But I guess that falls under "charm", does it?

Another review: 4.5/5 from The Escapist. Good review from a source I don't dislike.

The Lego series seems very dull... I played demos at kiosks for multiple ones and I don't understand how they keep getting more and more. Am I missing something that I can't experience from the demos?

yin that case, you have to buy a game and play it to see if there is something good for you in there. Some games are not meant to have demos.

Read the reviews completly, not just the conclusion or the last paragraphs. It's a must buy.
