What was once an enthusiastically received gaming experience now seemed to be content to coast on its former glories. With each subsequent iteration the gameplay flaws became more pronounced and the charming characterisation and humour that initially glossed over these issues seemed to fade into the background. And as ever, the law of diminishing returns started to take effect. Before long they were joined by the likes of Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Batman, Lego Harry Potter and even Lego Rock Band - which saw the block characters join forces with Harmonix's best-selling music game series. Much of that success hinged on the personality that Traveller's Tales were able to inject into the Lego characters through the application of the Star Wars licence, giving the title both a sense of focus and humour that had been sorely missing from earlier 'edutainment'-centric Lego titles.Įncouraged by the success of the prequel-based Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, Traveller's Tales soon began work on Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy, which was as much of a smash as its predecessor. It's been six years since developer Traveller's Tales unleashed Lego Star Wars: The Video Game on unsuspecting gamers - and in doing so demonstrated that it was possible to successfully transform the popular building brick toy line into pixel-based entertainment. Well it can't possibly be as bad as the films.
