But Ryan, the last 3 were the best ones. The first few were not particularly cinematic marvels. At least the presentation in the new ones is pleasant.

I do like me some Legos, but I'm not familiar enough with Harry Potter (only watched the first three), nor have much interest to become familiar, to get the most mileage out of this.

Speaking of possible upcoming whatever themed Lego games, I'm surprised there hasn't been a Twilight set yet... not that I'd want one, but it's surprising all the same. Brad totally read my mind with his Lego Robocop suggestion, too. That and Lego Evil Dead is what I'd want in a world where gory, adult orientated Lego games are allowed to blossom.

Gotta be one of the more painful quick looks that's been posted. They didn't use any spells, so it might as well have been any other LEGO game. They didn't pay attention to the mechanics for any of the abilities. Ryan is standing in front of one asking what it does as the game spells it out in text on the screen. Potions, pets, books, parseltongue...all stuff from the last game.

But then, I S-ranked it. So I guess it makes sense to me.

The Lego games seem very competent, but I don't really know who they're for. Children I presume, but I bet there will be a whole load more of them.

These games DO actually have mechanics and stuff. IT's just that when they're playing them all they do is run around hitting everything.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not nominating it for GotY, I'm just saing they really don't QL well. At this point they mostly seem to be doing it so they can say they QLed the 'last' HP game.

I wish I was like 6-10 so I could spend all day after school playing these games with my friends.

Also, I bet Lego Tintin won't be far off if the Tintin movie does well with the young crowd.

Very unlikely. They only make games based on the actual LEGO sets, and they currently have a big deal with Warner and Disney. Seems unlikely they'd suddenly jump on a Paramount movie. It's not impossible, but you should look at what sets they're currently making if you want an idea of what games will be next.

(Lego Batman 2 is next, expect the Avengers and possibly the Hobbit after that).

Brad doesn't lego a Lego quick look. Maybe they should have had Vinny in their too since it's a hybrid Harry Potter and Lego quick look.
