This was released yesterday, but I searched and didn't see a thread for it and the general xbone thread is locked up

939.28MB, you can get it here: http://store.xbox.com/en-US/Xbox-One/Games/neogaf/a9825b2f-593b-4ffa-91d0-53e15df7053b

Downloaded it last night, or at least started the DL.

Never actually played a Lego game before.

This game is great when it opens up. Really really fun

 

[sangreal]

Pretty short demo. Just has you fight a few stages of LEGO sandman. Game seemed decent enough, but I hated the way they tell you how to solve every puzzle. Not sure if that is just a tutorial thing

 

[ahartig]

I also enjoyed the demo but didn't get to play through the whole thing. Does it let you free roam at all? Or is it constrained to just the sandman stuff?

Is the 2 player co-op fun? How does the dynamic split screen work?

No free roaming as far as I can tell, which is annoying because the game tells you about stuff that requires spiderman, but you can't go back once you have spiderman.

Did not try co-op but I did connect a second controller to try out the split-screen and it's pretty awesome. Normally there is no split screen, but if one player gets out of range, it will split it and their screen will move around based on where they are relative to other player. So if they're ahead, they'll be at the top, but if they go behind their split will rotate to the bottom. Splits horizontally as well. It's neat since it works even when the other player is in the 1v1 boss fight

A bit strange to see it releasing on XB1 so late.

But anyway, I haven't played the full game but I think the demo doesn't present the game in a very good way. The demo is very, very narrow.

 

[bumpkin]

Does it have a play limit like the DR3 demo did?

I don't think so. I played it a couple of times and I don't see any indicator like DR3

 

[StudioTan]

Oh cool, thanks for posting this. I've been debating getting this game.

It becomes an open world like game?

 

[Keyser Soze]

It turns into an open world game after about 2 hours. You can rob (politely take) cars, Do races, or just fly around the city. You can even dive from an airship all the way down to the city,

 

[CrAzYLeGzLU]

The game is totally worth getting. I put about 42 hours into the game getting the platinum trophy for it on PS4. The open world actually has a ton of missions to do, and while some can get repetitive there are some that require the powers of characters that aren't unlocked through the main game so you have to work towards completing those.

I tried it out I really like how the game transitions into splitscreen while playing co-op, that was something I've never seen before, and it's much better than having a fixed distance between the two characters. I couldn't finish the demo though cause I got stuck haha. Idk if I'm dumb but I couldn't figure out how to get past a wall that needed to be sprayed with water.

Spoiler

you need to use iron man to turn the scattered legos into a water cannon

ahhh my brother was controlling iron man, so I will put all the blame on him haha thanks

 

[schaft0620]

I got it for the PS4 and thought it was going to be a "silly lame kids game" Lego Marvel is by far the game I have played the most on the PS4, my friends included.

Thanks. Really liked the demo, might pick this one up.

The game is surprisingly impressive graphically. Loved it on the PC. Wait until you get to fly over the city as

Didn't realize the game was so open (and the demo does not convey this at all). Considering purchasing now as I need more local co-op games.

 

[malfcn]

Searching through the dashboard and found this game under: "Snappable Games"

How does that work?

The main story levels are linear and in separate "zones" than the hub. But there are sidequests that you can stumble across in the hub.

 

[nubbe]

There are like 100 escort missions in the hub
The worst type of mission
That by itself make this the worst game ever by default

Oh, wow... another person with a Nintendo avatar who hates this game. What a surprise.

Not at all.

Judging people by avatars is probably the most petty and pathetic thing you can do. Granted, his opinion is a little forward.

Has nobody with the game tried this? It's apparently the first Xbox One game that can be snapped.

I just tried it with the demo but it didn't work.

had a blast beatig the PS4 version- great game

You gotta remember these games are meant for parents and small children to play together. That said, this was the first Lego Game where I got stuck.
