Warner Bros. LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack (Wii U)

Bought it for my 5 year old since he's into legos and he loved it. I was able to buy it online for $63 and it's so worth the price, yes you do have to buy characters separate but they rage from 15-30$ ands it's much better than buying a new game for 40-50$. Lego dimensions is basically a game with different worlds and like other similar games you go trough levels finding gold blocks but in this game every character opens up a new world! Not only a new world but the characters come with a vehicle which makes the game even more fun since each level has beat the clock race to add on top of everything. After collecting coins you are then able to upgrade the vehicles into 3 different options which maximizes coin collection. So far we gone trough ghostbusters, scoobydoo,the lego movie, the simpsons,chima, the wizard of oz, back to the future, Lord of the rings, DC comics, ninjago, and doctor who but we're collecting characters to enter jurassic world, midway arcade,and portal. Overall it's become the only game my son will play, he's moved aside super mario, yoshi whooland, and disney infinity to name a few. Would HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for hours of fun!!! On a side note you do have to put it all together, they are legos so give your kids a 30 minutes headsup to complete it so they don't get frustrated. Since my did but at the end it's totally worth it.

My grandson was up all night playing with this gift. He loved it. Great combination of both of his favorite activities.

Daughter loves this games as you can expand with many characters from different genres of cartoons.

My son has wanted Lego dimensions but a lot of the stores in my area were sold out and because they r discontinuing the Wii u they would not order it for me! But thanks to Walmart I was able to get it and Free Shipping! My son was so happy! Thanks Walmart

My kids absolutely love this game. My 11 year old used his birthday money to purchase this and the Dr. Who add-on pack. They say it is now their favorite Wii U game, and if I'd let them, they'd play it constantly. They love finding new worlds and completing challenges. They are currently saving their money to buy more character packs. We'd definitely recommend this to others.

This review is based on Lego Dimensions v1.03 which fixed some bugs in the release version and added the option to "hire a hero". This makes the game more fun, more playable, and decreases the urgency to buy additional characters just to unlock a certain door in order to obtain a golden brick (for example). I recently bought Lego Dimensions for the Wii U and I'm having loads of fun, both alone in single player, and while playing together with my son in Co-op game play. There is a lot of humour spread throughout the game and many times you hear jokes that only an adult with certain background knowledge will get and laugh about. The game plays smoothly and I haven't (yet?) come across any hick-up or framerate loss in the game. The graphics look fine and as expected for the Wii U console generation. One unique bonus only the Wii U has is the possibility to separate screens while playing in co-op mode. Player 1 will play while looking at the game-pad, while player 2 plays while watching the TV. This way there's no need for a split-screen and both players only getting half of the TV-screen to move around with. Really great feature for the Wii U !

And that's not a lie! We got a Wii U for Christmas and I got LEGO Dimensions. It was what I wanted most, and it's not a disappointment! The Gateway has astonishing detail and a great selection of minifigs! The Toy Pad lights up and changes colors, and you use it VERY much throughout the game. The game itself has a mixture of humor (very little CRUDE humor so far, but I've only finished the second level) and excitement! It has an excellent co-op, especially with no split screen, due to the gamepad! I like free-play even more than the levels - the worlds are so cool! But, you MUST get at least one Expansion Pack to unlock free-play. Overall, I encourage you to buy this game if you have a 32GB Wii U!

Despite some bad reviews of this product, I decided to purchase the Wii U Starter Pack. I'm glad I did because I really love the game and how it works on Wii U. My sister and I have had amazing fun on this game, even though it can be challenging sometimes. Thank you again Lego for a wonderful product!! I assure you that this will be a great purchase for any fan of Lego!!

We bought this for our 5yr old for Christmas. There was no way he could put the legos together but his 11yr old brother did while he watched. That kept them busy and interacting with each other. When it came time to play my 11yr old enjoyed it as much as my 5yr old. It was pretty entertaining for them and something they could do together.

Don't have first hand knowledge because I don't play it. But my daughter loves it. She is very smart and loves the logistics and challenge of building things.
