This game doesnt have a lot to do with Lego, its just GTA really.
The main focus is going around in different vehicles doing missions, the way npcs work is basically the same...its proto-GTA

>licensed game
Into the trash it goes.
>inb4 b-but
no.
great post
licensed games can be good because all the work of creating characters and a world is done, so there can be a focus on gameplay. Goldeneye 64 is a good use of a license.
>yeah, a license to kill
>you’re now thinking of Bond’s extra wide mouth on the box art
There's actually loads of good licensed games. "Licenced games bad", is such a babbie's first taste in video games opinion.
Most are bad.
Most games in general are bad. 10% of games are good, 5% are great, 1 percent are masterpieces, the rest are shit. Same goes for every art form.
What's your point?
Yeah. It bugs the hell out of me when I hear people say "X console is good but like, 90% of its games are bad".
No shit lol

licensed games only got bad around the 3D era. Most licensed 2D games are good since you could make a good game quicker and cheaper back then
FBPB, and I HAD played the shit out of this piece of shit
>alright team let's get to work and make a good game!
>but sir, we don't own the intellectual property
>dammit! how will we have decent controls and fun levels now?
More like
>alright team let's get to work and make a fun game
>we got the IP!
>ah well fuck it, who cares we can sell on shitty gameplay alone
That said, this happens NOW, but not as much in the 8-32bit era.
>but not as much in the 8-32bit era.
Don't know why you say that. I played tons of shitty licensed games in NES/NES/Genesis days and beyond.
stfu brickster
Brickster is that you
it was soulful but my memory is that the driving was fucking terrible with absolutely zero physics
That's because driving was just sped up walking.
Shit was great as a kid, but the game is really just an activity center with a really fancy skin.

Really, given that they probably had a relatively small budget and development team, it was a good approach to the task of making a Lego video game. It was an extremely simplified "babby's first open world game", but it made up for it with tons of charm. I haven't touched the game in over 25 years at this point, but so many voices and quotes are seared into my brain.
I never realized how much heavy lifting the script and performances did until I watched a gameplay video of the sequel. Holy hell, what a soulless shit-heap.
I never even tried. My computer was such trash that the game barely ran well enough to do any of the events. I didn't mind losing a race or screwing up delivering pizzas, but I had serious anxiety about letting the Brickster out, knowing my jank framerate and laggy inputs would probably let him destroy the whole island. Is there even a game over sequence if you fail? I have no idea.
>Is there even a game over sequence if you fail?
Yes and it probably made a few young kids cry:
Saw that shit too many times because I fucked up the helo segment.
Oh and there's also the extended version which didn't make it in the final game:
Jet ski racing was fucking awesome
The race car wasn’t iirc
Last Action Hero for DOS is actually proto-GTA. I think some of the same people even worked on it, or at least it was cited as an inspiration.

I've never let The Brickster out. I refuse to do it. I don't care that I'm missing out on a big segment of the game. I don't care I don't have 100% red bricks. I'm not doing it.
You can get all red bricks without letting the Brickster out. He doesn't escape if you deliver a pizza without building the helicopter first.
That sounds like something the Brickster would say
the cutscene of him winning was the most terryfing shit I saw that time as a kid
Is this the game where you could throw pizzas?
theyre called pizaz and no u cant throw them...thats lego island 2
I'm pretty sure you throw pizzas and donuts from the helicopter during the brickster chase,
You do.
Pepper get off Ganker
Island 2 is way better than the first one
The minigames were worse, voice acting was dogshit, and the art style made all the islanders look fucking hideous. First game had a lot of love poured into it, second one was just a cashgrab made by a worse studio.
All i have to say to you OP is,
>YOU WILL NEVER BE A MASTER BUILDER

Holy shit
What was that Lego browser game where you sneak into a movie studio?
Need
Lego Studios Backlot.
>BRICK BY BRICK
>SUCK MY DICK
what did they mean by this?
no matter how thick
Lego Island 2 was better.
>We will never get the comfy pirate/underwater themed Lego Island 2 that was teased
Hang on, I never heard of that and now I'm interested. Got any pictures or links?
GTA came out in 1997.
I mean 3D GTAs obviously, which are completely different games and honestly cant be compared to GTA 1 and 2
>which are completely different games
Not really, GTA 3 even had an overview camera.
As a novelty, the game's obviously not designed around it. I wonder if there's an overhead speedrun category
I guess my point is that GTA 3 was a natural translation from 2 into a third person perspective and they probably weren't inspired by lego land. The mission structure is pretty much the same there.
CAN'T GO WITHOUT THE SHARK
you scratch my brick, i'll scratch yours.
