It's pretty darn cool -- though, we have to admit, a bit ominous for a game geared towards eight- to twelve-year-olds, what with its clashes of sprawling armies, Matrix slow-mo and zombie-like LEGO dudes. We kept waiting for that freaky music from Requiem for a Dream to come on, or at least a scene where a minifig gets drawn and quartered, LEGO-style, as he shouts "Freedom!" with his last, dying breath.
Are we stretching it? Probably. Either way, we're looking forward to actually playing the game, just so we can re-enact crazy Mel Gibson's Braveheart war cry. "They can take our land, but they can never take... OUR LEGOS!"
