>Quick-building will be familiar to anyone who's played a Traveller's Tales LEGO game: simply run up to a pile of bobbling bricks and assemble them into their pre-determined model.

>LEGO Universe doesn't believe in a class system, and all abilities are linked to accessories. So if you want to be a tank, you equip armour; if you want to train animals you equip a whip, and so on.

>The world is a series of seemingly infinite floating islands, with each covering a different LEGO theme: pirates, castles, space, city and so on.

>Interestingly, the game's levelling system is less WOW and more Zelda. There are no RPG levels as such, and progress is instead marked by your health and items.

>If it all gets too much, you can always retreat to your own patch of land and build to your heart's content.

I was really interested in it from... pretty much when it first got announced!
I think I still have all versions of the email newsletter in my inbox, actually.

But but guys

They're little children

They only have precisely enough cheddar to buy a regular retail game

Now they'll have to take out giant loans to pay for the game and be eternally in debt

Guys

I like the leveling and class system

This actually sounds fairly awesome.

There should be customizability. Not just predetermined models.

I'm thinking Tankosaurus Rex.

"Create your own story" usually drives me away from games.

It does have an actual main story though.

I'm saying that the ability to customize and create can go a bit too far.

When I hear "create your own..." I believe the community to be nothing more than just dicks everywhere. This is internet player-created content.

I see it being dicks and shitty lumps of god-knows-what made by six year olds.
