Lego Dimensions is
staking a claim as the first toys-to-life game to get adults and children alike
clamouring for its wares, announcing a further series of expansion packs adding
bolt-on content. It’s squeals of glee all around with Portal 2, Doctor Who,
Jurassic World, Scooby Doo and The Simpsons all added to its rapidly expanding
repertoire.
These join the already announced Lord of the Rings, DC Comics,
Back to the Future, The Lego Movie, and The Wizard of Oz in a frankly
ridiculous line-up of tie-ins. You’re looking at the best part of £500 if you
want the lot, but fans of specific franchises are likely to cherry-pick
favourites. That Portal 2 pack is already looking a little difficult to
resist...
Lego Dimensions still isn’t announced for PC just yet, but
the Portal 2 tie-in is a sign there’s still hope yet. It comes packing a Lego
Chell with Portal Gun, alongside a laser block and a turret. We’re expecting
Portal-lite puzzling from this one.
The Doctor Who set marks the first time the Time Lords have
made it into Lego form, coming bundled with a Lego Tardis, K-9, and the Doctor
himself.
Lego Dimensions is coming on September 27th in North America
and September 29th in Europe, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox
360, and Wii U. If you want to get involved you'll have to get the £90 base
set, which comes with the game and the portal itself, with the level packs
bought separately.
Are these new additions enough to tempt you in? Which
playset would you be keenest to pick up?
