| Still sounds like a worthy purchase to me! Nice review Mr Denton, Sir! |

| Wondering if the graphics issues are just because TT Fusion (the guys who made this and the mobile Lego games) just didn't have enough experience. Judging by the information so far on NFS there's no problem with a better looking game running well on the hardware. |

| Looks fun, but I can't justify getting it over Monster Hunter 3U, because I know from past experience I'm going to chip away at MH3U for hundreds of hours.
It's a shame though because if it had come out a month ago I'd have gotten it day-1, but now I think it's just going to be one of those were I think "I'll get it at some point" and never will. |

| So the game stutters because WiiU is under-powered and not because this game is essentially a launch window title and maybe, just maybe, TT Fusion haven't mastered open world on a new platform yet?
And I don't see what's non-open-worldy about the game. Are there no side missions? To be honest, as long as I can choose between doing a mission and going around collecting stuff I don't really mind. |

| I find myself unsure about how much I want this one. Lack of co-op is a big thing, I was really looking forward to being able to play with my son. However, watching him play could well be reward enough. I am glad that it isn't being released on the same day as Monster Hunter, but think that being so close to both that and Need for Speed might damage its potential somewhat. Not to mention that it will also be up against Gears Judgement and Bioshock Infinite... If only they could have gotten this one out last month, when nobody had anything else to buy! |

| I think the criticism about it not being difficult are a bit unfair. It's a Lego game ffs. Do you complain about carousels not being quick enough too?
The stutters and splutters and shaky frame-rate is inexcusable from Tt. This is a Wii U exclusive. It's not like they've got other console development to worry about. If it's as bad as this review says it is (and I assume it must have been pretty bad to have been mentioned) then it's a poor show from Tt. That said, you can hardly blame the Wii U for someone making a game badly. If the console "lacks grunt" then why make a game that required more than it can handle? Especially an exclusive.
The lack of co-op is also ridiculous imo. Lego games have had co-op as far back as I can remember, or at least as far back as I've been playing them. I'd like to know why they left it out.l |

| I think this is partly due to it being Tt Fusion rather than Tt doing the work. It sounds like they didn't have enough time to get used to the different architecture. |
