And the most basic element of LEGOs - building things from blocks - is entirely absent. [July 2009, p.86]

LEGO Battles won’t offer the slightest challenge to an avid RTS fan. But overall I can’t complain too much. I had fun, got in a few laughs, and kept coming back for more. Sometimes that’s enough.

LEGO Battles certainly drops the baton on a couple of essential basics, but its light-hearted tone, unit variety, hidden trinkets, and sheer volume of maps keep it a good value for dedicated fans of this angular toy world.

a solid and easy game to pickup. a lot of the critic reviews treated it like it was a traditional TT Lego game but its not. the game is instead a real time strategy game that anyone can pick up. its also a really great way to introduce someone to the genre for the first time. Although the campaign is fairly easy, the multiplayer and free play is where its at its best. my main issues with this game comes with the awkward pathfinding, simple enemy AI and how much time it takes to unlock all the units to play with. with that said its one of the best games on the Nintendo DS and its multiplayer really holds up well.

This game ****, the difficulty spike is too intense, you can only play one campaign at the beginning even though there are pretty much no differences except for the visuals and it barely even looks like a Lego game.

And as with other LEGO titles, those deficiencies don’t keep LEGO Battles from being an engaging, satisfying RTS experience, especially for younger players or those looking for lighter fare. If that’s your angle, then this game is a solid buy.

I am a fan of this title, because it moves the series forward in a positive direction even if some other things are sacrificed.

Bothersome control issues won't keep you from enjoying this charming strategy game.

The DS is starved of RTS action, but Lego Battles never ramps up enough to inspire. [Oct 2009, p.74]

At the end of the day, adults most likely won't find much long-lasting entertainment in LEGO Battles. But in short bursts, there is some fun to be had in revisiting a piece of your childhood.

Lego Battles does a good job as introduction to the real time strategy-genre, but lacks in tempo and control. Gamers who already are familiar to the genre may find it to simple and should go for another game. And seriously, do we really need more games in Lego?
30
The controls frustrate, the missions bore and the multiplayer has the potential of being quite unfair. While the basic idea is sound, the failure to implement its features in a compelling way makes LEGO Battles one you can easily skip.

This game was my childhood the music is amazing the characters are also very cool and fun. There's a lot of personality. The battles aren't super complicated I wouldn't say there is a huge threat if you don't play completely stupid. The managing of your armies will keep you busy as well as managing attacks over the ocean or in the ocean. Hours of countless fun and its even multiplayer!

una joyita del Nintendo ds, con un multijugador muy divertido con una variedad muy amplia de facciones, el mejor juego de estrategia del ds sin dudas.

And yet another game about both lego and randomness at its random...-est i guess. But like my review on lego island 2: the f*ckster's revenge, this game is pretty good. Well, for the DS at least. I mean the Nintendo DS was very successful but in my opinion all 3D games on it looked/played like complete **** I mean, take a look at a comparison between Lego Star wars: the clone wars, it looked gorgeous on the Wii and the Ps3 but on the DS? COMPLETE SHI-BLARGHALGHRALGHUGLAHR- i can't stress enough. Regerding the game, it's like a god game with really pixellated graphics which actually looks better than you think. Trust me this game is even more obscure than Patapon, a game which not even the smallest groups of people recognize, well. Maybe except me... i don't even know anymore. But for real though, the soundtrack is kind of bitcrushed which is one of my most favourite song types, the graphics are mostly like the snes's graphics, it's mostly blend of many pixel games to say the least. Gameplaywise. You place buildings, you get cash, you get units, push objectives, you win. It's a Mc-Basic, really. Here is the most fun part of the entire review, trust me. Writing certain reviews on the wrong day can end in the this-is-not-interesting-at-all cathergory. Pros: Cons: I am suprised... really.... there is nothing wrong with this game except the minor things, but those keep bugging each other with the good minor thing about this game. Which then means that this game was made with the right mind in charge.... i don't know what joke to choose so i'll just simply say.... "a random crackhead" This game gets the score: "meh, but still good"

When i was about 8 i played through the full campaign in this game and i enjoyed it for it's simplicity but now i'm older i realize how bad and soulless this game is. The collectibles (studs and minikits) are incredibly tedious to collect and can sometimes take clearing the hole map of trees to find. People who suffered through the campaign get access to a much wider array of units which puts them at a massive multiplayer advantage. Not to mention how inaccurate the touch screen is when selecting multiple units and that the slightest obstacle makes units ignore their commands and just stand still. Do not be fooled by the Lego logo this is not a quality game unlike other Lego titles. Do not buy!

SummaryLEGO Battles pulls three LEGO themes together to create a unique extension of the LEGO build-and-play experience that stays true to the customization and humor that are the foundation of LEGO videogames. LEGO Battles offers a new kind of “build and battle” LEGO gameplay. Through six distinct story lines, players build their own LEGO base... Read More
