The LEGO game that I was the least endeared by due to how grounded all of the mechanics felt compared to literally any one of the other LEGO Star Wars-styled games which, while fun when playing casually, consequently made 100-percenting it a bit of a chore. At least the story's pretty amusing.
Also, side tangent: It's really unfortunate that Chase McCain's lover (I forgot her name) didn't get as much screen time and plot relevance as I'd hoped she would get. The way she decided to do things on her own without Chase at a few points in the story and her one single idle animation where she accidentally stabs herself in the foot with a syringe made her WAY more endearing than I would have ever expected.

I played this game with my little brother years ago when it released. Very fun open world take on the Lego formula. This game is filled with so many movie references that at least half of them went over my head at first. They were clearly aiming for getting some laughs out of the parents watching their kids play this. I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was seeing.
Definitely one of the better LEGO games. It's the classic formula put into an open world. The concept works really well, the city is fun to explore with A LOT of tasks and collectibles. Missions are similiar to the other LEGO games with self contained levels and the humor is really fun. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a LEGO game with all the strengths and weaknesses. A little bit too repetitive to give it a higher rating (since all the puzzles basically repeat themselves) but I'd definitely recommend it!
Not hugely into the LEGO games other than LEGO Jurassic World, but this was a pleasant surprise. It's a GTA-clone bringing to mind family-orientated predecessor Simpsons Hit & Run, but unlike that game (and even many other LEGO games), this has its own original story. Lots of the story beats riff off other action-adventure and/or crime films and it's written very well. Genuinely humourous too. I can't recall when I've laughed out loud this much playing a game.
It's standard LEGO game gameplay of using different character types to puzzle and combat your way through the story. It's fairly rewarding but simplistic. The driving is decent if not a little sluggish. Probably let down the most really by its very lacklustre soundtrack. Very boring and repetitive, and I think the inclusion of a radio, with instrumental tracks, could have been a really great addition.
