I am a serious gamer, so I hesitated to try out lego games, but they are so much fun, and a nice departure from the intensity of the games I usually play. I really like the fact that you can play back through, in free play mode, as different characters, after you finish the story line. Trying to locate some of the extras, etc., was a little hard to navigate, and would probably be frustrating for a younger player. The only other thing I would have like to have seen was more length to the game, like some of the other lego games have, especially in free play mode, it ended too soon.

all this firepower at your disposal, you'd think that your enemy couldn't stand a chance. You'd be wrong. The enemies in this game are smart, fast and aggressive. The variety of weapons at your disposal is surpassed by the variety of enemies you will face. And the boss battles..... oh man, let me tell you! On second thought, I better not. Lets just say the hair on the back of my neck stood up more than once. You can share the experience with a friend via the split-screen co-op mode, and the online multiplayer is solid. All in all, I am very pleased with this game and I feel it's a shame it didn't sell too well at its release. I would definitely recommend this game to any fan of the first person shooting genre.
