The standard stages – which, though linear – allow you to wander around at your leisure, smashing into objects to project LEGO pieces across the floor and, especially in the opening stages, watch the world Emmett inhabits go by. The alternative – a virtual d-pad – is a touch more precise but still feels like a compromise rather than a smart design choice.Īll this aside, The LEGO Movie Videogame comes with all the charm, colour and humour that’s part and parcel of a LEGO release. By default, controls are handled by an occasionally awkward combination of swipes and taps, with tracing your finger across the screen controlling Emmett’s movement, Though the game makes a habit of marking out objects you can interact with from start to finish, this set up is far from ideal, and you can easily find yourself looking as if you’re attempting to swat a fly that’s landed on your phone’s screen rather than playing a game.

It’s hard to believe that Denmark’s greatest export, LEGO, seemed to have reached the end of the line 15 or so years ago.
