When I was young, E.T. was a super popular movie. Every kid in my first-grade class HAD to wear E.T. sweatshirts to school, and “Turn on your Heartlight” blared on the radio nonstop. But you know what’s strange is that I really didn’t like the movie that much. I preferred flicks like Gremlins and Ghostbusters, so I don’t know if that makes me a messed up kid or not. I just felt the E.T. movie was too long and slow-paced, and E.T. himself was so ugly. He looked like a Rotisserie chicken. And the movie played up Reese’s Pieces way too much. Once I FINALLY got to try them, I was severely disappointed. But even I can’t deny that E.T. is an iconic and influential movie and the E.T. ride at Universal Studios is pretty fun. So it’s no surprise that E.T. would show up in LEGO Dimensions. The game is available for nearly all current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here. I have to say that the makers of the game were pretty brave to put E.T. in here, as the last time E.T. was in a game was on the Atari 2600, and that particular title helped start the video game crash in the early 80’s! But I don’t think that’ll happen here!
