\"LEGOAT1\"<\/a>Adventure Time is one of the most popular animated series on Cartoon Network, and there have been tons of games based on the franchise and I\u2019ve reviewed most of them!\u00a0 In fact, in the 20 plus years I\u2019ve been reviewing games, out of all the licensed games I\u2019ve reviewed, I\u2019ve probably played more Adventure Time games than anything.\u00a0 I don\u2019t even really watch the show, I just know a lot about it from playing all the games!\u00a0 And now they\u2019re getting the blocky treatment in LEGO Dimensions.\u00a0 Here are reviews of the Fun Pack and Level Pack from the series.\u00a0 LEGO Dimensions is available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.<\/p>\n

LEGO Dimensions is essentially like Skylanders, except you build and play with LEGOs instead.\u00a0 I even wrote a big article about it a year ago that you can read.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 The Adventure Time Fun Pack comes with a character and vehicle to build.\u00a0 You get Marceline the rock n roll vampire who is also Finn and Jake\u2019s friend as a playable character, and you get a ridable set of speakers on spider legs called a Lunatic Amp as a vehicle.\u00a0 The game gives you instructions on how to build the vehicle once you place Marceline on the pedestal.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a closer shot of the box they come in.<\/p>\n

\"LEGOAT1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As a playable character, Marceline can send out sound waves with her guitar, and she is pretty mobile as she can turn into a bat and fly around.\u00a0 When you hop on the Lunatic Amp, you can shoot out even bigger sound waves!\u00a0 Like any of the other vehicles and items, you can rebuild and upgrade it if you like.\u00a0 Here is a shot of them out of the box and put together.<\/p>\n

\"LEGOAT2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you play as Marceline, you unlock the Adventure Time hub world and battle arena.\u00a0 But I also wanted to play the Adventure Time level as well, so I went out and bought the Level Pack, too.\u00a0 WB Games sent me the Fun Pack to review, but wasn\u2019t able to send me the Level Pack so I got that myself.\u00a0 There is another pack called a Team Pack that I didn\u2019t get, even though it has my favorite character: BMO, in it.\u00a0 It also has Lumpy Space Princess and Jake as playable characters, as well as LSP\u2019s car.\u00a0 But I didn\u2019t feel like paying for that one.\u00a0 Anyway, here\u2019s a bigger shot of the Adventure Time Level Pack.<\/p>\n

\"LEGOAT3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The playable character you get in the Level Pack is Finn.\u00a0 He is quite a versatile character as you can aim and fire at long distance objects with a crossbow, as well as select different swords to use.\u00a0 Some swords, like the grass sword, have multiple uses as you can swing on it like a vine and grapple and pull certain objects as well.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also get Billy\u2019s Gauntlet for Finn in the level, which allows him to shoot lasers as well.\u00a0 Later on in the special level, you\u2019ll get instructions on how to build two vehicles.\u00a0 The first is the Jakemobile, which is Finn\u2019s magic dog pal Jake turned into a car.\u00a0 And the Ancient War Elephant is the other vehicle.\u00a0 I love how the elephant\u2019s ears are just LEGO man flippers.\u00a0 Two characters can ride the elephant, and it can fly and shoot lasers, too!\u00a0 Another funny thing about these two vehicles is that since they are technically alive, they\u2019ll move around with you even if you\u2019re not riding them, and even help you fight!\u00a0 Here is a closer shot of the items in the Level Pack out of the box and build.<\/p>\n

\"LEGOAT4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The special level you unlock in the Level Pack is based on one of the episodes of the show, and I think it\u2019s one that even won an Emmy.\u00a0 The hub world you unlock with either of these packs is like any other hub in the game, with missions to complete and structures to build.\u00a0 The hub world has several locations in the land of Ooo, like Finn and Jake\u2019s treehouse, the Candy Kingdom, the Ice King\u2019s lair, and the crying mountain.\u00a0 I love how the level and hub world have a cel-shaded look with bright colors.\u00a0 It really reflects the look of the show, and the characters are even animated in that rubbery style.\u00a0 New lines from the voice cast also help.\u00a0 Best of all, other than not being able to play as Finn one time in the hub world, I didn\u2019t encounter any bugs or freeze-ups while playing with these packs!<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEGO Dimensions is rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Cartoon Violence and Crude Humor. It\u2019s a LEGO game, so it\u2019s pretty safe for kids.\u00a0 Anything you destroy just falls to pieces.\u00a0 If you\u2019re OK with your kids watching the Adventure Time cartoon show, they\u2019ll be OK with this game, too.\u00a0 While I would recommend most LEGO games to all ages, I think LEGO Dimensions is best for older kids.\u00a0 One, the things you build are pretty complicated sometimes, so they would need to be experienced LEGO handlers.\u00a0 And like other LEGO toys, the sets are pretty expensive so kids would need to know how to keep up with and take care of their toys, as the game is useless without them.\u00a0 And plus using the pedestal is not very intuitive. \u00a0Also don\u2019t forget the whole choking hazard thing with small LEGOs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
