Lego Rock Band

Lego Rock Band Review



I don't pretend to be that good at the Rock Band games I've played so far (Beatles, Lego, Country Track Pack). Mostly I struggle along at "Medium" difficulty, occasionally stepping with mixed results into the "Hard" category on some of the Beatles tracks. Lego Rock Band seems more challenging than the Beatles. Having long associated Lego characters with the toys I've bought for my children (and, now, grandchildren), that came as a surprise, albeit an enjoyable one. The visuals are Lego-fun and obviously the result of a lot of clever, tongue-in-cheek imagination. The music is a bit heavy on the '80s '90s bands for my taste (hey, give me a break...I'm in my 60s), but more than a few of the tracks are up-tempo, fun-to-play numbers that offer, as I noted before, both rhythmic and fingering challenges. After purchasing the Lego Rock Band software for my family, I bought another for a friend who was weighted down by the heavy metal of Rock Band II. I would recommend it others, too. In spite of (or maybe due to) the Lego characters, its not just a game for the kiddies, although they should enjoy it almost as much as grown-ups do.

Lego Rock Band Overview


LEGO: Rock Band PS3


Lego Rock Band Specifications


LEGO Rock Band merges two of the most popular video game franchises to deliver a unique family-friendly music experience that will take tweens, teens, families and gamers of all ages on a wild journey to rock stardom in order to "Build a Band and Rock the Universe." Combining the authentic multiplayer music experience of Rock Band with the accessibility, customization and humor of LEGO games, LEGO Rock Band allows players to create their own unique rock star style and customize their own avatars, band members, roadies, and managers.

Gameplay
Action in LEGO Rock Band is nearly identical to the familiar flow of Rock Band gameplay, only with a LEGO twist. Your goal is to run through a succession rock tinged family friendly song tracks with your band, consisting in multiplayer modes of up to four avatars in LEGO form controlled with guitar, bass guitar, microphone and drum controllers. The game features compatibility with most existing Rock Band and Guitar Hero instrument controllers for the appropriate platform. One of the fun LEGO influences is in the tablature flowing across the screen that directs your play. This is in the form of LEGO blocks color coded for each controller. As players successfully complete songs and rock challenges, they can collect LEGO 'studs,' with which they can customize their avatar and other in-game goodies in true LEGO Snap-On fashion. In addition, players can unlock additional content and collect amazing vehicles, which can transport their band from local gigs at rock clubs to epic stadium shows and even fantasy settings on Earth and beyond. The game contains a variety of play modes including Quickplay and Challenge, and will feature music both supplied on the game disc as well as downloadable content.

LEGO Rock Band allows players to rock along to both current hits and classic favorites that the whole family will enjoy. These include:

Lego RockBand - Cynthia Paulding - BRADFORD, NH, US
I bought this game for my son, but I was not aware that the guitar we had for our PS2 was not compatable with the PS3! I found out after I recieved the game, so in a scramble to find him a guitar a week before Christmas, I failed to find one. I did find a microphone, however. I was going to wait until I could find the guitar to give him the game, but my older kids talked me into giving it to him with just the microphone. It turns out we had a blast singing to the songs and trying to hit the high notes!! We had a great time and a lot of laughs! I reccomend getting the microphone at least, even if you can't sing it is fun stuff! We had a Christmas to remember!

Nice game - R. de la Amador - Cartagena, Colombia
This game is for those Rock Band fans, like me. It's designed for children so it has a lot of options to make it easier (auto drum-kick, super easy level, you don't get thrown out of a song). You can earn trophies in a very easy way.

LEGO Soccer Mania

LEGO Soccer Mania Review



I am [..] and love legos, but what could be better than Legos for your PS2? I absolutely loved this game when I was younger and am seeking to purchase it. It isn't Fifa, but Fifa can get so boring that you need something a little wacky and different to lighten your mood. Start in a bad mood and you will be in a good mood when you are done. It isn't too terribly hard, but it is hard enough to keep someone entertained. At any rate, I am thirteen and really enjoy this game, so anyone younger will enjoy it twice as much. Lego couldn't have made a better video game.




LEGO Soccer Mania Overview


Welcome to the craziest soccer game you've ever seen, with stunning graphics, fast-paced arcade-style gameplay, and all the color, fun, and creativity that the LEGO name implies. You can customize your very own awesome LEGO soccer team, from standard soccer players to Wild West cowboys to pirates and Martians. The game features 23 unique, action-packed, themed stadium environments, plus adventures across mystery islands, snowy valleys, medieval castles, pirate ships, cowboy forts, and even into space. Crazy game power-ups include Rocket Ball, which lets you shoot the ball toward the goal in a straight line; Steal the Ball, which allows you to teleport the ball to the feet of the player nearest the goal; Slippy Feet, which freezes the opposition's feet; and Exploding Ball, which turns the ball into a time bomb.

There are four game modes:

  • Soccer Adventure: Pit your soccer skills against LEGO characters across many different environments. Beating the LEGOLAND team allows you to play through the LEGO World Cup Finals.
  • Skill Zone: This is a fun way to teach gameplay through simple subgames. Learn how to pass, tackle, shoot, and dribble.
  • LEGO World Cup Finals: Choose your favorite national team of LEGO players and see if you can make it all the way to the finals.
  • Play a Friend: This single or multiplayer option lets you choose an existing team or create your own from a huge number of LEGO characters, select your opponents and environment, and start a game straight away.

Very bad graphics. Not recommended. - Carlos - Missouri, USA
My son and I LOVE LEGOS. We thought it might be cute to play LEGO Soccer on the PS2 (the Lego Star Wars for the PS2 are awesome!). Unfortunately this is not the case. This game is very bad, the graphics are awful, the color scheme hurts your eyes, and the game is hard to play.

Glad - A. Neal - Savannah, GA
I was hunting all over for this game for my son. Amazon was the only place that had it. I bought a used copy and was a bit nervous. It got here right on time and was fine. My son loves it. He said its great and easy to play. He has been playing it ever since. Thanks.

Soccer Mania - Stanley Kapinski Martha Kapinski -
The game was bought for my Grandson for Christmas. He was very excited
when he opened it up on Christmas Eve. He's only four and he loves playing it. It will take him awhile to master it but still enjoys it.

LEGO Power Miners Magma Mech (8189)

LEGO Power Miners Magma Mech (8189) Review



Boy, is this guy ever funny! We've had such a blast playing with this guy and the lava monster. It's fun to combine them with the other sets in the Power Miner series and the agents series. We've not had any trouble with the legs staying on very much. You just have to get them on there correctly and they'll stay just fine. We've had battles with this guy and he's fallen from the table to the floor, and stayed in one piece. It's just super cute, not too hard for a nine-year-old to put together either. Took about 40 minutes all together. Great, great toy, awesome addition to the series, highly, highly recommend!



LEGO Power Miners Magma Mech (8189) Feature


  • Set includes 1 orange Firax lava monster and 1 Power Miner minifigure
  • Magma Mech features extendable scissor claw arm, spinning water jet drill, heat-shielded opening cockpit
  • New rotating hydroblaster
  • Retractable claw arm for picking up those pesky lava monsters
  • 183 pieces



LEGO Power Miners Magma Mech (8189) Overview


The Power Miners have dug even deeper into the Earth, and now the underground action is really heating up! Surrounded by pools of fiery lava, the powerful Magma Mech faces off against a rampaging Firax lava monster with its extending titanium scissor claw arm, and put out the flames with a blast from the super-cooled, spinning water jet. Lego Magma Mech measures over 7" tall. Set includes 183 Lego pieces to build this power miner.

Nice addition to my collection - M&M Catboy - Chicago, Illinois, USA
I don't play with my LEGO and bought this set only to build and display, so durability isn't really an issue. Honestly, I bought it mainly for the monster minifig to complete my collection. The robot is pretty ugly. In any case, this isn't a bad set, and I don't think it deserves fewer than three stars.

Doesn't stay together - RB -
Although my son had fun putting this set together, he is now very frustrated because the legs do not stay on the Magma Mech. In my opinion this is due to very poor design. I would not recommend this product for children who like to play with their legos once they are put together.

NBA Lego #3567 McGrady, Webber, Houston Review



The players might not look like themselves, but the NBA version of Lego's "legoman" is a great collectible. I have the TMAC, and of course the only drawback to that is it includes the no-defense player Allan Houston. Other than that, C-Webb is in it. I also purchased the three pack with VC, GP, and Dirk Nowitzki. I recommend this to everyone. I might splurge and get the Ultimate NBA Arena too!

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Review



My son got this game and I was expecting to have to buy a separate smaller memory stick just for this game to save on, however we were both pleasantly surprised that it saved just fine on his 4gb memory stick. His MS card is pretty full (less than 1gb free space) so possibly it works fine as long as the available space is less than 1gb or they have patched this game when they released as part of the greatest hits collection. Some of you who have problems getting it to save on large memory sticks might try putting some music or movies on the card to decrease the free space on it and see if then it will save. Aside from that, he loves this game as much as he loves the PS2 version and the pc version and the ds version - he loves this crazy game so much he has to have it for each and every gaming system he owns :)



Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Feature


  • Combine the fun of LEGO with all the action and excitement of Star Wars now lets you battle through all your favorite moments in the Original Star Wars Trilogy (Episodes IV, V and VI)
  • Play over 50 of your favorite characters in a humorous and unique LEGO setting -- from Luke and Princess Leia to Han Solo and Darth Vader
  • Build and ride new vehicles and creatures and get in and out to explore the world of the Original Star Wars Trilogy
  • Create and customize new characters with new abilities
  • Even more destructible environments and more challenging puzzles -- playing LEGO Star Wars has never been more fun



Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Overview


LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is a comical take on the Star Wars Trilogy, the movies that revolutionized pop culture forever. LEGO Star Wars II follows the Rebel Alliance's battle to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild a galaxy in pieces. From Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to a showdown on the reconstructed Death Star, the game includes the family-friendly LEGO action, puzzles and humor that earned the original LEGO Star Wars such popularity and acclaim. Drop-in/drop-out feature enables friends to join easily and engage in multi-player action

Don't buy this game if your PSP has a 4GB memory stick - ontarget - Plano, TX
In short: game is fun to play but it seems like the software behind it is seriously outdated.

I just recently bought the PSP console and the SW II Original Trilogy game from Amazon. I installed a 4GB memory card and let my kids have a ball with the Original Trilogy game. After a couple of days they kept complaining that they were unable to save the game's state/scores to the memory card. Sure enough after tinkering around we concluded that the software expects a memory stick with a much smaller capacity. The software obviously either has a memory addressing limitation or it doesn't correctly handle the free memory information from the PSP's operating system. And sure enough the requirement on the game's case mentions only a 128KB Memory Stick DUO. This limitation is completely unacceptable at a time and age when a 128KB can be more expensive to acquire than a 8GB. Don't buy this game unless you want to be forced to also purchase a 128MB memory stick card!!!

Great game (of course). - pippy longstocking -
This game is perfect to play on the go. If you have this game on the Game Cube you will notice that there the same, except the psp doesent have people in the cantina. You also notice that sometimes when your a jedi, it'll be kind of hard to slash people with you litesabor, you well be able to costamize your character. It took me about 6 hours to complete but if don't focus on the studs,minikits and power bricks then you could finish the game in 3 hours.

Hard to play. - Edward F. Manka - Dunmore, Pa
Great graphics and fun but I got stuck on the level and there is no guide for a PSP.


Not ready for prime time. - Andrew Gray - BC, Canada
As others have noted, this is a poorly conceived and buggy game that is not close to the same standard as previous Lego releases, with a very different and inferior look and feel. It is more like a cross between Indy and Sonic, where you barrel through fairly linear platform-based levels scooping up patterns of points laid out on the ground for you. And get used to frustration trying to get through it. The controls are so bad that it seems like your success or failure for a given move is purely random. Some of the mini-challenges that rely on precision jumping are very nearly impossible. I don't mind games that are challenging, but this is not challenging, just annoying. Not recommended.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Review



I have played through both of the LEGO Star Wars games with my 6 year-old daughter. She is fairly good at them and can get through most missions. I was excited for us to try out Indiana Jones, but we found that it is still a bit too hard for her. This game is much more of a platformer than the Star Wars games. The emphasis is more on simple puzzle-solving and jumping around than was the case in Star Wars.

It's still an incredible game. It is worth every one of the 5 stars. I just want to make sure that anyone who plays these games with small children knows this.



Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Feature


  • Swim, climb, and shimmy

ok, but disgrace - R. Finnie - KY USA
this game sucks, the graphics, and some gameplay are good, but most of it is too fu***** hard to beat, the puzzles are hard, and sometimes you have to get someplace, but you can't get there, go with the other lego games like batman and star wars, but avoid lego indiana jones, from a game lover who played NES, SNES, N64, PS1,PC,PS2

The one thing i hate about megabloks is it takes so much to just put one piece together, but then they fall apart so easily, that is why i choose lego!

LEGO Power Miners Fire Blaster (8188) Review



I really like this nice little set. The helmet with visor is awesome! Minus one star for the monster minifig being ugly yellow. I know the description said yellow, but I was so hoping that it would be gold or at least some cool yellow. Anyway, this set is a buy.

LEGO Space Police Raid VPR (5981)

LEGO Space Police Raid VPR (5981) Review



Great new overall designed Space Police vehicle. Using only 69 pieces, Lego has put together a cool looking small ship. Great for your 6 year old on up just getting into the Space Police theme (easy build) or the adult collector.

Pro's - Design(especially the front two wings)and simple yet effective color scheme, opening/closing cockpit, 2 flick-fire missiles, great new helmet design for your Space Police commando w/air tanks on back and new Rench mini figure w/weapon. Note Rench is same designed head as Kranx but instead he's green and also has different torso design.

Con's - Really none, except I always like to see the Space Police with a hand held weapon. None included here.

I highly recommend this for the new, young collector as a starter and the adult Lego collector for overall design and mini-figs.



LEGO Space Police Raid VPR (5981) Feature


  • Includes 1 Space Police Commando and 1 Rench alien minifigure

Good if you are short on time - The Princess's Mama - Louisiana
I bought this set for my 5 year old who loves LEGO sets but doesn't have a long attention span. He was able to build it easily and in a time that worked with "his schedule". An added bonus is the included action figure which my son loves

Super set, small difficulty - carolyn - Canal Winchester, OH
Boy, was there some extreme excitement when this set came in the door! We purchased this set almost as soon as it came out. We were needing some new additions to the Space Police series and were quite glad when they finally made more. This guy went together in about 30 minutes and the detail is just fabulous. The cockpit opens - sure is cute, and the policeman take off and go after the alien bank robbers. Very, very cool, took an eight-year-old very little time to complete - about 20 minutes. It's one of the more durable sets too - the plane takes off and lands without coming apart whatsoever. Great, great set, highly recommend!

Nice little set - M&M Catboy - Chicago, Illinois, USA
For a small set, I was really impressed that the cockpit can open. The Space Police minifig is cool as well. I would buy several more for my collection. Buy now before you have to pay more than normal retail price.
