You're probably right - I was just trying to avoid being so narrow that nothing would qualify. However, the Lego games do sell in very large numbers and are, i think, pretty big budget affairs. They don't really appeal to me (I played the very first one and saw no reason to try another), but they clearly appeal to quite a few. Personally, I see a AAA title as a game you would consider buying a new system system in order to play it. That's very hard to quantify, however. Even so, of the third party games I listed at the top, a few probably do qualify (e.g. MH3). If you think the Lego games aren't AAA, you should see some of the games suggested by others! |
I've never seen any advertisement for a Lego game. Not more than the game I've mentionned really.
Anyway this seems like a very subjective way of qualifying AAA. And besides, a game doesn't actually have to be well advertised to be considered AAA by the developers themselves. It's the publisher's job to take care of the marketing.
