This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
The LEGO Movie Videogame for PlayStation 3
The LEGO Movie Videogame for PlayStation 3 follows Emmet, an ordinary construction worker who unexpectedly gains an important role in the struggle against Lord Business. Together with an unusual group of allies, he travels through worlds from the animated film. You jump over obstacles, fight LEGO opponents and use pieces to open the route. The environments consist of recognisable building bricks and the characters move in a style reflecting the film's toy figures. The story combines familiar scenes with playable missions.
Building takes different forms. Some characters work with instruction pages, while Master Builders bring together pieces from the environment to create something new. You therefore look not just for enemies, but also for usable parts and figures with the right skill. Emmet, for example, contributes differently from an ally with a grappling hook. The journey passes through varied areas, so its appearance and building problems are not confined to one city. Collectibles encourage you to look beyond the direct route.
You play alone or cooperate with two controllers on the same PS3. During local cooperation, the screen adjusts to the distance between players. New characters later provide opportunities to explore earlier missions again. You can therefore first follow the film story and then search deliberately for what is still missing. This is the first LEGO Movie game from 2014, not the sequel based on the second film. You do not need LEGO figures or a toy dock to play this disc game.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
The LEGO Movie Videogame for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of The LEGO Movie Videogame
The LEGO Movie Videogame appeared in 2014 alongside the first LEGO Movie film. TT Games made the adventure, with TT Fusion and Traveller's Tales as the development studios involved, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment published it. The announcement expressly linked the game to the film and associated building sets. Its subject was therefore unusual within the series: after many LEGO adaptations of other cinematic worlds, a film about the LEGO world itself was now being made back into a game.
The makers took Emmet and the varied worlds of his journey as their starting point. The official presentation emphasised the environment built entirely from bricks and the figures' movements. That animation style was intended to strengthen the impression of real toys. The distinction between building from instructions and the approach of Master Builders also returned in the game rules. Ideas from the film were therefore not used solely in cutscenes, but also in how you solve obstacles.
The familiar LEGO structure remained present: characters with their own skills, collectibles and cooperation on the same console. The game appeared during a period when both PS3 and newer consoles were supported. This product page describes the PS3 edition of the first adventure. The later The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame belongs to a different film and did not appear as the same PS3 game. The first release preserves Emmet's original journey and how his builders' world can change through new allies.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
LEGO Batman: The Videogame on PlayStation 3 also has you build and solve obstacles with different characters. It uses Batman, Robin and Gotham's villains for an original story. The LEGO Movie Videogame follows the animated film and makes the distinction between instruction builders and Master Builders part of its puzzles. The same LEGO foundation consequently receives a distinctly different subject.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on PlayStation 3 likewise combines local cooperation with unlocking figures. It gives Gotham a major role as an explorable city and uses superhero suits and powers. The LEGO Movie Videogame takes Emmet through different film worlds and emphasises building instructions, pieces and the skills of his changing allies.
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham on PlayStation 3 also sends you through varied worlds with different LEGO environments. There the journey revolves around Brainiac, DC heroes and the Lanterns. The LEGO Movie Videogame follows Emmet's film adventure and uses building itself as a story theme. Both let you return later with characters who can tackle earlier obstacles differently.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on PlayStation 3 also offers fights, switching characters and collecting tasks. Manhattan provides a large connection between story sections and superpowers determine many solutions. The LEGO Movie Videogame takes its events from one animated film, with Emmet and building skills at its centre. The main distinction is the freedom of city exploration versus a film journey.
LEGO Marvel's Avengers on PlayStation 3 also turns familiar film scenes into LEGO missions. It combines different Marvel films and lets team members use their superpowers together. The LEGO Movie Videogame follows one story with a very different protagonist: a construction worker who finds himself among unusual allies. Both use humour and local cooperation, but connect building with different skills and events.
