\"\"<\/a>Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice.\u00a0 These were the ingredients chosen to make the perfect little girls.\u00a0 But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient\u2026Chemical X.\u00a0 Plus a few LEGOs for good measure.\u00a0 Thus The Powerpuff Girls Team Pack and Fun Pack for LEGO Dimensions was born!\u00a0 The Powerpuff Girls was one of Cartoon Network\u2019s most successful and well-known shows.\u00a0 So much so that it got a remake last year (although it isn\u2019t as good as the original).\u00a0 Now you can relive the adventures of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup with add-ons for LEGO Dimensions, available for nearly all 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 while back that you can read<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0 I’ve been lucky enough to be able to review most of the LEGO Dimensions packs, as WB Games has sent them to me for review purposes, including these, which I’m very thankful for. \u00a0The Powerpuff Girls Team Pack comes with two playable characters and two vehicles.\u00a0 The game gives you instructions on how to build the vehicles once the characters are on the pedestal.\u00a0 You get Blossom and Bubbles and the two vehicles you get are the Powerpuff Hotline Smartphone and Bubble\u2019s favorite toy Octi.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a bigger picture of the box.<\/p>\n

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

All three girls can fly and have fast healing powers and super strength.\u00a0 Blossom has ice breath and Bubbles can scream super loud.\u00a0 Both can shoot lasers from their eyes while flying and can do a charged laser shot from either the air or the ground.\u00a0 I kind of wish the Hotline Phone was more like the original, but since this is based on the remake, you build the smartphone first.\u00a0 But like other LEGO Dimensions vehicles, you can spend studs to upgrade and rebuild your vehicles into different things, and one of the upgrades for the phone looks like the classic one.\u00a0 In the game, you can hop on the phone and ride it around, and it can even fly and shoot lasers\u2026somehow.\u00a0 You can also ride on Octi, who skitters around on its legs and can fire a laser as well.\u00a0 Here they are all built and out of the box.<\/p>\n

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

The Powerpuff Girls Fun Pack comes with one character and vehicle.\u00a0 You get Buttercup and a green Blast Bot, although I don\u2019t remember there being a green robot in the cartoon show.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the box.<\/p>\n

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

Buttercup has a few different abilities from the other two.\u00a0 She\u2019s the toughest fighter, and is stronger than the other girls and can pull open certain handles.\u00a0 Instead of lasers, she can turn into a tornado blur and home in on enemies.\u00a0 And by holding onto a certain button, Buttercup can encase herself in a green protective shield and roll around.\u00a0 You can ride on the Blast Bot and it hovers, but doesn\u2019t fly.\u00a0 It can shoot out a charged laser, though.\u00a0 One thing about the figures is that the girls\u2019 heads are way bigger than other LEGO men heads, so they look a little weird when compared to other LEGOs!\u00a0 And to make them look smaller, their knees don\u2019t bend either.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a shot of Buttercup and the bot all built and out of the box.<\/p>\n

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

The characters also unlock a new Adventure World and Battle Arena.\u00a0 You\u2019ll explore the City of Townsville in the adventure hub world.\u00a0 I like it when LEGO Dimensions does a cartoon world because they make everything cel-shaded with bright colors, so it really looks like the cartoon it\u2019s based on.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the world is more like the remake rather than the original.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t find familiar locations from the old cartoon, like Mojo Jojo\u2019s volcano lair in Townsville Park.\u00a0 Instead, you\u2019ll battle new villains like Allegro the Party Panda in the sky in Rainbow Land.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also battle a dragon and meet other characters like Manboy and visit Puppy Island.\u00a0 Like other hub worlds, you\u2019ll use studs to build structures and take on missions for red and gold bricks.\u00a0 While I wish they would\u2019ve included more elements from the classic show, fans of the remake should still like this.<\/p>\n

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

LEGO Dimensions is rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Cartoon Violence and Crude Humor. If you\u2019re OK with your kids watching the show, they\u2019ll definitely 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.\u00a0 Also don\u2019t forget the whole choking hazard thing with small LEGOs!<\/p>\n

And so the day is saved, thanks to The PowerPuff Girls!\u00a0 In the comments section, tell me your favorite episodes of the TV cartoon.\u00a0 Mine are the one where they pretend to be other comic book heroes, the one where they try to keep Lucky Captain Rabbit King from getting their cereal, and the one where the Mayor gets kidnapped and each of the girls tells him what happened from their point of view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
