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 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.

        There's actually loads of good licensed games. "Licenced games bad", is such a babbie's first taste in video games opinion.

            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?

        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

          Don't know why you say that. I played tons of shitty licensed games in NES/NES/Genesis days and beyond.

        >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'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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

      Lego Island 2 was better.

      The minigames were worse, voice acting was dogshit, and the art style made all the islanders look fricking hideous. First game had a lot of love poured into it, second one was just a cashgrab made by a worse studio.

          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.
