Lego LotR Fail. Begun Marvel Super Heroes

On 05/28/2022 at 11:11 AM by KnightDriver

My copy of Lego Lord of the Rings failed to work the other day, so I installed and started Lego Marvel Super Heroes, which is, so far, very fun.

The failure of the LotR disc gives me the opportunity to visit another games store near me called Game Junkie. This store has a lot of everything, so I'm pretty confident I'll find a Lego LotR disc.

In the meatime I started the next Lego game chronologically released, Lego Marvel Super Heroes. It's great in that you start as The Hulk and Iron Man and basically wreck the place - great way to start a Lego game. I'm several levels into it already and have played as Spider-Man, Hawk-eye, and Black Widow fighting Doc Oct, Sandman, Venom and The Obomination. I've also visited the big open city. The whole game is laid out similarly to Lego Batman 2: you have story levels and then the open world city. I'm excited to try all the characters and unlock red bricks for increasing stud gathering.

There has been more Gems of War, Domino Master, Minecraft, Batman Arkham Knight and Microsoft Solitaire too.

Most of my knowledge of Marvel comes from the movies, Marvel vs. Capcom, and the LEGO games.

But what are you doing playing LEGO games when you could be playing Pac-Man Museum+. I hear that's on Xbox Game Pass right now!

I did play it as soon as I saw it. Of all the games, I think I still like Pac-Man Championship Edition best. Also, Battle Royale. I've got to get some people to play against.

Also, there were a few in there I hadn't played before like Pac-Motos, Pac 'n' Roll and Pac-in-Time.

I'm working on my Pac-Man Museum+ blog right now. It's kinda long, so I'll be posting it in a little over a week or so.

I had some trouble with controls in some of the games. I can't seem to get my million direction thumbstick to do just 4 directions. I always hit a diagonal which makes my Pac-Man stop or not take the turn i want. I wish they did a classic joystick like they had for OG Xbox and Xbox 360.

Wait, are you playing the LEGO games back to back? My mind goes numb at just the thought of that lol. I have a hard time getting through ONE of those games. My wife and I played halfway through the Marvel Superhero one and just kind of fell off.

I started playing them when my friend and I were achievement hunting. I kind of got hooked on finding all the stuff in them. I don't play them all at once anymore though. Also, it occured to me the other day while playing Lego LotR (I got it to work) that there isn't another LotR game that takes you through the movies so closely like this one. They match the movie mostly, only sumarizing or changing things here and there for time considerations or to insert a particular puzzle. Movie licenced games tend to suck but Lego games are alright.

I really think the LEGO games lost a lot of charm when they added voice acting. My wife and I did get through both of the Harry Potter games and the little pantomimed story scenes were delightful.

I have to return to the Harry Potter games because for whatever reason I got stuck in them at several spots.
