Yep. As long as the quality remains high I'd love to see these franchises lego-fied:

Matrix trilogy
Jurassic Park trilogy
Terminator trilogy
Halo trilogy

Hell, they could even revive the Back to the Future franchise.

I'd love to see LOTR as well. They need to kick these games out faster. I loved the SW titles but I can't see paying for the "all in 1" they have coming out soon.

I am so glad this isn't just a rumor any more, and can't wait for this and Batman next year. So it looks like it will still have 2 player co-op, but I'm guessing you'll only be able to select your sidekick for each level, except for free play.

I probably will. I played through both titles but sold them shortly after. This will be a good one to pick up and keep.

It will suck unlocking everything again though. I wonder if they could use your save game from the previous version.

Those would all make for some fun games, I agree, but, speaking as a toy nerd, I doubt they'd ever happen. LEGO would have to acquire the toy licenses first, and the properties mentioned are either too adult in nature, or are dead franchises, with no future movies or other projects on the horizon.

There are a couple of common elements with the licenses LEGO has made toys for--Star Wars, Spidey, Batman, Harry Potter, and Indy. They're all (mostly) family-friendly properties, based around PG- and PG-13-rated movies. And they all had (at the time) new movies coming out that the toy line could support.

They need to get a better developer on these. The Lego Star Wars games are absolute shit from a purely gameplay standpoint.

I completely disagree - from a gameplay standpoint, the Original Trilogy is excellent.

Sorry, but if the game was not Star Wars in Lego form, it would have been destroyed by reviewers and players. I enjoy the games for what they are (at least when playing co-op) but they are extremely buggy and poorly designed.

But it is a Star Wars game in Lego form.

I think I understand your point -- that people like it because it's "Star Wars." That may be true: if it were some original idea, where you didn't play with Star Wars characters in a Star Wars universe, I would not be interested. But I still like the gameplay.

There are plenty of Star Wars games with shitty reviews. There are plenty of LEGO games with shitty reviews.

I've spent so much time on Lego Star Wars II, its just a game that you can pick up and play and try and get some accomplishment you haven't tried for yet. I would not want anyone but Traveler's Tales to make this game.

Also, the end of the official press release mentions the other game that apparently is still in the works:

"Meanwhile, LucasArts remains hard at work on its revolutionary, internally developed Indiana Jones videogame, which takes place a year after The Last Crusade in an original story overseen by George Lucas."

Ok...

It was a response to the theory that reviewers were going easy on the game because of things other than the gameplay.

Ah, sorry.

I can't disagree... but they were fun from the Star Wars perspective. Watching the Indy trailer again, it looks like it is basically the same game with new skins.

I'll still pick it up though.

It would be interesting if you could transfer over your SW or Batman characters across games for one giant mish-mash... like real legos.

Can't wait!

Bump... in case nobody noticed it, Indy is an unlockable character in the complete saga... at least in the Wii version.



It was quite fun whipping Star Wars characters!

Yup, I got him.

Am I the only one who seriously doubts there will be much replayability in this?

I mean, in Lego Star Wars, you have dozens and dozens of characters to choose from. But in this, who wants to be anyone other than Indiana Jones? It just doesn't seem as interesting.

I see what you are saying, but with the level of enjoyment i've recieved playing LSW, i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Besides...why wouldn't you want to be Mola Ram? Yanking hearts out of other characters sounds like fun...

This is one of those games (like LSW) that I'll nab around $20-$30.

I brought that up about Lego Batman. We'll see.

So does anyone know a release date for this yet, or should we expect to see it around the time Indy 4 is in theaters.

Looks like it'll be sometime toward the end of June, about a month after the movie comes out.

There is the possibility of TONS of characters - both major and minor (you know you want to play as Short Round) as well as the 4 films to work from. Even LSW had levels that had nothing to do with the films (the Grievous level where he kept jumping to the pad in the middle comes to mind), so I'm sure that they will be able to create some interesting levels.
