![]() There's a constant stream of enemies to hit, and these are joined by more hardy boss encounters, who have special attacks (nothing too complicated) and longer health bars. You advance through the main area, occasionally ducking into a cave or lego base to fulfil a side-quest. There's a simple, child friendly plot that's nicely told with fully-voiced dialogue (that's skippable if you want) that means even the youngest gamers will understand roughly what's going on. ![]() Things start off in the pirate-themed world. Some of the special attacks - each one on a short cool-down timer - are a little bit more interesting, but with so many different characters, in many cases the differences felt cosmetic. With that in mind, alongside my eldest son, I sat down with the game to find out if it's an MMO experience suitable for kids, and, more importantly, if it's any good and worth the time and money.Įach upgradable character has a fairly simplistic attack, be it ranged or melee, but they're nicely animated to reflect the unique properties of the character, so the pizza delivery boy will throw pepperoni covered cheese discs at his enemies, while the swashbuckler will jab away with his pointy sword. ![]() The other major thing that sets this apart from other Lego games (that in the past have been built with adults and children in mind) is that Minifigures is pretty much aimed at the younger audience. Uncertainty aside, Minifigures Online is a game that departs from the standard Lego formula and instead offers a MMO-lite world (or series of worlds) for players to explore, with the tightly-controlled single-player or co-op experience we've long grown accustomed to now replaced by a more variable online setting. Would Funcom be able to deliver an experience akin to those we're usually offered by games in the evergreen block-filled series? ![]() This is the first Lego game that I've played that's not been developed by TT Games, and as such, the usual 8/10 quality that you're practically guaranteed from TT was, for once, an uncertain factor.
