![]() ![]() The game does leave out some moments from the film so it’s not just the whole movie with playable bits sprinkled in between cutscenes, so while you won’t get the whole tale just by playing the game, you will get one that makes sense and still has the charm of the source material present. The Lego Movie Videogame doesn’t stray from the film’s plot, in fact, it includes actual scenes from the movie for many of its cutscenes, meaning much of the movie’s best humor is carried into the game while the play carries the action scenes. Still, he sets off to do his best, joined by a diverse group of characters and going to many different locations hearkening to LEGO play sets from all across the toy’s history. Emmet ends up being the one identified as The Special… even though he’s seemingly just a regular guy who can’t even build without using the instructions. ![]() However, a group of creative individuals known as Master Builders refuse to let creativity be quashed, so they head off in search of a prophesied individual known as The Special who is foretold to have what it takes to stop the Kragle. President Business has a desire to see everything stay perfectly pristine and harmonious, so to prevent any new disruptive ideas from harming his vision for the world, he aims to use a weapon known as the Kragle to freeze everything in place permanently. Emmet is just another cog in the big machine that is Bricksburg, a city where everything goes exactly as dictated by the conformist directions given by President Business. The Lego Movie itself is the tale of a LEGO man named Emmet living in a world entirely made of LEGO. Funnily enough, The Lego Movie Videogame could be said to be a representation of that idea, the game built off the typical structure of a Traveller’s Tales LEGO game while also adding some newly conceived ideas to make it a unique title. When The Lego Movie was released, there was a fair amount of suspicion that it would be a soulless corporate effort to promote LEGO building bricks, but the film we ended up with was actually quite funny and charming, carrying with it a message that there’s nothing wrong with trying to build creatively or trying to go by the instructions, each person free to play however they pleased. ![]()
