![]() Along the way, you must ensure the agents dont fall into the hazards below or come into contact with Ogels henchmen.Īs you progress through the levels, youll rescue more captured agents to help you solve the environmental puzzles which were quite challenging for me, or probably because I was just young.From the underground cave to the pumpkin at the top of the lighthouse, LEGO® Marvel Team Spidey at Green Goblin’s Lighthouse (10790) is filled with action designed especially for kids aged 4 and up. There is a switch in each level that your agents must activate in order to proceed to the next level. The gameplay is similar to games like Lemmings or Mario vs DK: March of the Minis where you direct your agents by manipulating the 3D environment. These days such a concept would probably translate into a third person action platformer, however the development team decided to take a different route. Unfortunately I dont think well ever see a spiritual successor.Ĭlick to expand.Ah here was the Alpha Team and their quest to stop the evil Ogel (Lego spelled backwards). Still the game was fun for what it was but there was definitely room for improvement. Additionally you had to be aware of oxygen levels as it would steadily decrease over time and the mission would end, so in a sense all levels are timed. So if you wanted to drill a section of the wall, you would click on the wall and a nearby worker/vehicle would then start digging. I guess it was implemented to make an easier experience for younger players. The weird caveat was that the workers could not be directly controlled. Occasionally, rock monsters would appear and harass your workers so you had to build an armory and arm your workers with laser guns. Youre workers can be trained in different classes and with enough resources you can call in vehicles to expedite the digging. The objective is to order your workers to dig through the surrounding environment and collect ores and minerals in the process. Years later they released a sequel with some open world elements, but Id say another sequel is long overdue.Ĭlick to expand.This game was very unique in that there arent many RTS games aimed for children. I probably spent more time customizing my racer, than racing on the tracks. As you defeated the games bosses, their karts and respective parts became unlocked. I remember this was the reason I went out and got a controller pack for my N64, just so I could save my car designs. What really made this game special was the customization as the players avatar and kart racer was fully customizable. The power up system was similar to the one in Diddy Kong Racing where if you collected power ups of the same color, you would get better variants. Settings included pirates, adventurers, space, medieval and finally Rocket Racers home track. In order to do so, the player travels through time racing in different locales based on the Lego playsets of the time. Perhaps they forgot about this game? Lego Racers centers around challenging the best racer of all time, Rocket Racer. Im surprised Lego hasnt thought of making another sequel as it no doubt would be a sure-fire success. Sure it may not have been as refined as Mario Kart 64, but it was fun nonetheless. It was a bit of a precursor to The Sims where you could design your dream house only out of Lego bricks.Ĭlick to expand.Simply put this game was awesome. But the results were worth it as I had never played a game like it before. It would take forever to load the game and even just to bring in a Lego piece into the 3D world space would take minutes at a time. When this game came out, my computer could hardly handle the 3D visuals. A neat feature is that minifigures and vehicles can be directly controlled in first person so you can explore your town from a minifigure perspective. The game allows you to start from scratch or use pre-assembled buildings to populate your town. However the pieces are of the basic variety with a focus on city elements, so you cant really build things like medieval castles or alien spaceships easily. You can bring in as many different lego pieces and build whatever you desire. Click to expand.This game is pretty much a virtual Lego toy box.
