LEGO Games 2010
Who wonders what the next LEGO game after Harry Potter will be? Here are my ideas:
1. LEGO Batman 2 The Brave and the Bold
2. LEGO Doctor Who
3. LEGO Toy Story
4. LEGO Spongebob
5. LEGO Guitar Hero

But as for the normal TTgames (not to be confused with TTG), i would think they would stick to a film trilogy again. Maybe Lord of the rings?
Batman wouldn't see too likely either, they dropped the Batman liscence hard when the Dark Knight came out and proved too violent for their tastes. They discontinued the toy line right as the game and movie came out. There was a massive increase in demand for the sets, but they refused to make more of them.
Toy Story, Spongebob or any of their other existing toy lines seem the most likely. I'd actually quite like to see them do some of their own properties, like the pirates or castle themes. But rumours suggest it'll be the Clone Wars, which makes sense as their CW line is almost completely seperate from their "Original Trilogy/Prequel" line and the Star Wars games were easily the most popular.
I'm sure we'll see them finish the Harry Potter "book" series, and then move onto another very large and profitable franchise which nets a wide age range. Twilight is probably out due to its almost exclusively female audience, with video games and LEGOs having a primarily male audience. Are there any recent franchise revivals(like the Prequel Trilogy or the 4th Indiana Jones movie) coming up? What LEGO sets are big now?
They could do Avatar(Airbender Avatar, not James Cameron's Avatar), or a few of their other licensed cartoons. They have Spongebob and Toy Story, but Toy Story seems like a stretch because toy representations of toys probably doesn't work in terms of charm.
I could see them gaining a license for Star Trek, especially given the new movie coming out. Plenty of characters that you could throw in there from the different series, having Original Series Spock team up with Abram's Spock and Spock Prime to save the universe could be fun.
I was unhappy with Indiana Jones and the way they handled "gross" scenes. Star Wars: The Complete series is excellent, and is still the only way I can enjoy the whole Star Wars prequel trilogy.
joking aside, I close my eyes and just see a lego Sam running down the street - although it probably wouldn't be a kids' game...
They are all pretty much the same as eachother. The DS versions are supposedly the worst versions though. I Picked up Lego Indianna Jones (The original adventures) a few weeks back, and love every bit of it, but it's best played in Co-op, so go with whatever system you think makes that most accessible to you.
@wintersnowblind: But don't Lucas Arts own the star wars license? TTg managed to acquire that. And i don't see how LotR has much of a different demographic than Star wars.
I Suppose. But i know plenty of LotR games have been made by EA. Was that outsourcing or did the license just change hands?
I've never played the DS versions, but Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga has easily been my favourite. Unlike Batman and Indy there's a massive amount of characters (124-ish, I believe) and pretty much all of them are pretty awesome, there's even some pretty obscure guys in there like Dengar and Kit Fisto.
In Batman or Indy one player is always stuck as Robin or one of the bit characters.. it was much more entertain in SW when you have such a huge selection to choose between. Even if somebody was Luke, the second player would usually get Han, or Chewie so it all felt much more balanced. (though there are one or two instances where one player will be stuck as R2 for the whole level) Harry Potter should be good for that too, although I'm not overly familiar with the series.
The new Lego Indy is pretty impressive too. It does things a little differently by focusing on multiple bigger hub worlds with puzzles and secrets to explore, but smaller actual levels. Bits of it work and bits don't, but it's interesting to see them change it up a bit, plus the splitscreen system works really well.
'I would like a review copy of LEGO Indiana Jones.'
response:
'Can you read?'
LEGO Die Hard.
They're supposedly more buggy. But the actual gameplay is the same (i think). Thats not to say the console versions are glitch free. I had to restart 3 levels on lego indy.Once i was less than a minute from the end.
The DS mic is great and shit all at the same time. I hate how Brain Training can never understand my accent, I thought my mic was busted for ages.
Which reminds me, was anyone else out of breath by the time they finished Spirit Tracks?
The pan pipes were pretty awesome though
If you like one, you'll like them all. That's how I found it anyway.
I was actually wondering about this, it scrolls too fast for me to see anything going on, it's all intuition and guesses. ...Should it not be that way? I feel like I'll never get full completion on those levels.
They could always tone it down to the same level as the animated series
Something I personally think would work as a Lego game is the Ninja Turtles series, especially within the co-op feature as there are four turtles to control and all current-gen consoles support up to four players. Of course, this may be a little problematic with the PC version...
Maybe Lego Spiderman?

Tubular!. I miss the 80's TV show...
Just to list the LEGO adventure/platformers games:
- 2005 LEGO Star Wars
- 2006 LEGO Star Wars II : The Original Trilogy
- 2007 LEGO Star Wars : The Complete Saga
- 2008 LEGO Indiana Jones : The Original Adventures
- 2008 LEGO Batman
- 2009 LEGO Indiana Jones 2 : The Adventure Continues
- 2010 LEGO Harry Potter : Years 1-4
They are all in the same style. I have played all the PC versions, of those, I would recommend LEGO Star Wars :The Complete Saga (it compiles both LEGO Star Wars games while improving the prequel trilogy one and adding some extra stuff) and well, LEGO Batman.
The other two Star Wars are covered by the Complete Saga, and the Indiana Jones are fun, but not as much fun as the others. LEGO Indy 2, in particular, is incredible short, and features changes in how the hub world interface works (the DS & PSP version are very different to the PC & consoles ones, anyway, and it is limited to levels from Crystal Skull only, IIRC).
I should add that there is another Telltale LEGO Game released in 2006, Bionicle Heroes, which uses the same engine and gameplay style (hub, characters, shop), but instead of a platformer it is a shooter.
Also for the DS you have LEGO Battles, which tries to apply the LEGO style to the RTS genre; and LEGO Rock Band, but that style of game is something I don't care for.
It's like a dream come true: my game idea is taking form!
Also, Indy 2 is about 70% Crystal skull, 30% random new levels from the first three.
Oh crap, first time I mixed them! Hahahhaha, it had to happen.
About Indy 2 levels, I think the portable versions are limited to the Skull levels.
Although, the Indy 2 levels are a fraction lenghtwise of the levels of any other games. Most of them are one or two screens long.
I'd love to see official Wall-E sets personally, but I guess that moment has passed.

Spider-man is out as LEGO didn't renew the licence and I think Mega-Blocks picked it up.
Also, you reminded me of this Gamecube Mod
I just noticed your post, checked the info, and found this six-part gameplay trailer that was posted a few days ago.

The problem with a lot of the suggestions of making a Lego version of an existing game.. is how would it be any different from the standard version. You'd just be replacing the characters with Lego versions.
While cute, it seems like a waste of time.
Uhm, obviously it would be in the same genre as the other LEGO games. If you've played any of the them, you'd know what to expect. And they're nothing like Monkey Island in terms of gameplay. So they would be vastly different, in everything but story and characters.
Something tells me you've never played any of the LEGO games.
If the gameplay would be different, they would bare next to no similarity. The Lego's don't talk, so gone is the sense of humour in MI, opting for slapstick instead. In fact, it would just become some generic Lego:Pirate! game.
What made the other series so fitting for LEGO that doesn't work with Monkey Island? Yes, the humour will be different. Yes, there will be little talking. Yes, the gameplay will be vastly different, and yes, the whole game will be mostly different from the source material. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER LEGO GAME RELEASED SO FAR?
