Posted March 29, 2013 Picked up a copy in my local GAME this morning after deciding I'd probably get more value out of this than Luigi. Low stock availability from what the GAME guy showed me, only four copies available in the Watford branch. Well, three now. Didn't want to risk a fruitless hunt in central London later, entertainment stores are dwindling there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2013 Two words: Monster Hunter. And some more words: Luigi's Mansion 2, HarmoKnight and Nintendo are stupid. So many Mario references too, I found Dry Bones, Bob-ombs, Wrigglers, Bullet Bills etcAwesome, this is gonna be a great game to have on the "to buy" list. Will have to get it sometime before Animal Crossing hits though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2013 So, did anyone buy this?Seems pretty quiet in here and the game is out :P I've got it...but Luigi is taking up my gaming time. That could be the answer right there haha. Yeah we've had a quiet few months so some of us have saved and spent far too much on games this month, them being Monster Hunter (life consuming), Lugi's Mansion, Lego City and i just bought code of princess too.... my poor poor backlog, i can't buy anything other than fire emblem for months now else i'll go mad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2013 Have played this for 3 hours. Love it. Humour is brilliant. Graphics are excellent and it's so well produced and put together. My nephew is a huge LEGO game fan and he says this is his favourite game in the Lego universe by miles. From just a few hours play. I have to agree. It's like my childhood came to life with this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2013 I just watched the latest episode of Nintendo Video on my 3ds and they went into a bit of detail on this game - have to say it looks terrific. Seriously good stuff. I like the Lego games, but am tired of then being the same cut and paste job in a new superhero or franchised world. It's always too samey. This looks to totally break that trend, at last, and looks like great fun to play! I love all the Nintendo nods too - very clever! Definitely a purchase for me at some point!

It's like my childhood came to life with this game. The time left before I can head home and play my copy just got multiplied by what feels like 10,000 hours.

Posted March 29, 2013 Has there been much advertising for this? I haven't seen anything. I'm guessing there are adverts being run on the kids channels? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2013 I'm guessing there are adverts being run on the kids channels? Spot on. So far I've only seen adverts for this game on Cartoon Network & Nick toons, Disney etc. Although I'm not very good to judge as the only time I see those channels is when my little sister is watching TV. The ads were quite good, but the actual quality of the footage shown was horrendous at times. Some people might take it the wrong way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Has there been much advertising for this? I haven't seen anything. I'm guessing there are adverts being run on the kids channels? Saw one at the cinema before Jack the Giant Slayer on Monday. Mentioned it was exclusive to Wii U, which is always good. - Currently on chapter 10 or 11, so I think I'm nearing the end. Love the script, it's funnier than the majority of Hollywood's recent comedies, but the gameplay hasn't blown me away. Personally I'm looking forward to unlocking all the disguises so I can search for everything in the city and in freeplay mode.

Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I spent a good few hours on this last night, a good portion of which was spent watching my girlfriend run around smashing stuff up and grappling cars with people in them until they exploded. The poor citizens of LEGO City ran in fear. The game is really fun. There are a couple of glitches and the humour doesn't always hit, but it gets big laughs when it does. I can definitely see myself playing it through to the end, maybe even unlocking a few of the extras along the way. Guy's PRO TIP FOR PEOPLE WHO SUCK LIKE HIM: The d-pad feels way more precise to control vehicles than the analog stick. Edited March 30, 2013 by Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 30, 2013 I fucking give up, no store anywhere has this game. I'll just have to wait until I can order online. It's extremely frustrating that one of the first major releases in months is nowhere to be found in stores. It makes you wonder how they expect the game to sell at all.

Posted March 30, 2013 Need for speed and lego impossible to find. Just ridiculous. Sales will be weak and not for the right reasons!! I wonder if nintendo know their games aren't being sold anywhere. For me, I still don't have the frigging game - THANKS ZAVVI!!!! I ordered Batman from shopto on thursday and it arrived today. Lego, nothing!!! Great, so i can't play it when I have loads of time free.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found copies showing in stock at a few stores near Wolverhamption. PM'd you the details on the off chance they're actually carrying the game.

Posted March 30, 2013 I preordered mine from shopto and it still has not come yet. Wonder if online is having some stock difficulties with this as well. To those that have the game - did you get the miki figure with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) The Tesco Extra near me have a copy of LEGO City. One copy. £42. Feeling pretty gutted I dropped £50 on this in GAME on Friday fearing nowhere else would have a copy. Oh well, at least I helped keep them alive for another few weeks. With HMV circling the drain it would be a shame to lose the only other place to casually browse games on the highstreet.

How come you didn't get it from Amazon? It's 40 quid there. I haven't bought anything new from GAME for at least 6 years. Unless it was in some kind of sale.

I'm terrible at planning ahead and often decide I definitely want something like, 20 seconds before I buy it. I'm also bad at waiting and completely horrible with money.
