All of this feeds into the tasty pop culture gumbo that is LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, in which you can swing around Manhattan as Spidey, clobber Surtur as Thor (male or female), and manipulate time as Dr Strange from within a single open world environment.
The driving force behind this Marvel-lous mash-up is an invasion by Kang the Conqueror, one of the earliest big bads from the Avengers comic books. Kang has been tinkering with the space-time continuum again, which results in a number of disparate Marvel universes from various periods combining into the bespoke realm of Chronopolis.
As before, much of the fun here (at least for the completionists among us) lies in coming back to ostensibly completed levels and grabbing all of the trinkets you missed the first time around. After each initial run-through you unlock Free Play mode, where you can hand pick from that extensive character roster and go back in for a closer look.
Dear, TT Fushion.
I'm still waiting a Non Western licensed franchises LEGO games for Switch.
I'm not a fan of any Marvel Heroes or any kind of Western Super Heroes or any kind of popular franchises from Western (Harry Potter / Star Wars / Indiana Jones / etc)
I enjoy one LEGO game every few years.... LEGO City was this year so maybe whatever they release in 2019 will find it's way to my switch. I am happy to hear all the families that love to play these though! Gaming with your kids is awesome
I'll be happy if this doens't have the system freezing problems the first game had on Wii U. And other systems as well. Every time my kids played it would freeze after about 1 hour. It became a running a joke that after school they could start playing at 5:00 b/c at 6:00 it would freeze the system when it was time for dinner. True story.
We're getting this for my kids for the holidays b/c now that we have a Switch we needed kid friendly co-op back seat of the car games for the driving. 20% off w/ Amazon Prime meant we paid $60 for the $75 version, which was just enough incentive. Oh and the little keychain is kinda cool.
@Anti-Matter the company is called Tt games (used to be traveler tales.), Tt fusion is a sub division of Tt responsible for the non licensed games (lego ninjago and chima portable games and also lego worlds and lego city undercover)
Also the reason behind all the western licenses is because WB, the company that owns Tt, own 90% of them, the other 10% (marvel and jurrassic park) were aquired because of the popularity of the physical lego themes.
The chance of a non western lego game is almost 0% (not counting the lego dimension packs), I only see that happening if lego decides to make a japanese lego theme and the theme becomes profitable enough to warrent a game.
@Mommar seeing that disney is buying the entertainment division of FOX, including all the movie rights, serie rights and cartoons rights like simpsons and futurama, I think the chance of getting X-men games with marvel characters or marvel games with x-men characters has become much higher.
@Anti-Matter closest thing to non western stuff is either lego ninjago the movie the videogame for switch, lego ninjago legend of spinjitzu and nindroids on 3ds and psvita and the sonic the hedgehog dlc for lego dimensions on wiiU. You might want to give them a try.
@Ryu_Niiyama I could definitely go for a new X-Men Legends. I'm also thinking of buying the Telltale Batman game, because I love playing superhero stuff that isn't tied to the movie versions of the mythos.
I'm one of the folks that loves these games. I own each and every single one of them. Ever since Lego Star Wars came out all those years ago. There's just something about them. They're quirky, funny, fun to play with friends. There's a sense of exploration about them, discovering new things, enjoying the lego-fied take on some popular movie franchises.
Some of the earlier games (Star Wars, Indian Jones, Batman) were love letters to their respective franchises, rich in detail and extras. Harry Potter was another. They haven't all been up to that level of quality, but still fun nonetheless. They're like warm apple pie - you know exactly what to expect, and it's exactly what you get.
Getting sick of these samey licence Lego games, do something original again like Lego City undercover. or something like Lego island? maybe even make a NEW Engine, then reusing the Lego Star Wars one since 2005.
I'm a cheapskate, I like sales, but man that's fast. My mom bought it for my son for Christmas, she probably hasn't even wrapped it yet. I don't doubt it was on sale BF - what wasn't? - but I was avoiding those sales best I could. I've gone about 22 hours without buying anything on Amazon and I'm jonesing to purchase something for some one. I think I may have one a snorkel mask earlier but not exactly sure how that works.
