I have played all of the Lego games and on Sunday I got 100% in one of them for the first time.

It got me wondering if I was the only person above 15 who played these games???

Also despite these games being great fun is anyone having problems with the games being very unstable???

I play these games with my kids (6+9) and I'm substantially over 15 :-).

However, we've noticed the lack of quality in the games with later versions.

We play them on the Wii and have had zero problems with the original Star Wars 1-6.

A few small problems with Batman as well as Indiana 1 & 2 and Harry Potter 1 - 4.

The worst one for huge glaring problems was Star Wars Clone Wars, huge screen lock-ups coupled with loud buzz/screaming tones, typically during the large battle scenes.

Still, the fun that the games give us, some of this can be forgiven, except the screen lock-ups :-(

The kids have got a PS3 for Christmas with Harry Potter, 5 - 8 so will see have to wait and see what that's like.

Played 'em all except HP and loved all of them too - had no performance issues on 360 that I noticed either.

I do think that the first StarWars and Indy ones were the best two though.

There's a chap who works for Travellers Tales on here. And every time someone mentions the Lego games, I mention that. And singularly fail to remember his name paperbag

HP 5-8 was the game I completed on Sunday.



Two weeks of really really pissing the wife off but when I saw that sweet 100% it was worth the near divorce.

My wife considers all my gaming activities utterly sad and pointless.

She hasn't enjoyed a game since Diablo on the ps1.

Besides I play on my pc which is in the corner of the living room and for which I only have one controller.

Naaahhh!!!! My gaming is like my version of the pub. I have a few drinks, chat a load of crap with my mates and have fun doing something my wife has no interest in.

We do spend time together and we do have common interests so I think I'll keep this one mine, mine, mine..music

I play them with the other half, got 100% in:

Star Wars 1 & 2
Batman
Indiana Jones
Pirates of the Caribbean
Harry Potter yr 1-5

I tend to get a bit obsessive with them and have to get everything, then I'll put it down and never touch it again.

They're getting a bit stale now though and need to inject some more originality. Next one looks like it will be another Lego Batman with a raft of other DC characters in it.

I loved Lego Star Wars and got 100% on that. The 1-6 version for Ps3. I think it's a brilliant game, so clever and fun, what gaming should be about.

Got 100% on both starwars lego games with the boy. Loved them.

Quite right about the later ones being a bit naff, didnt like indiana jones or batman ones.

Diablo you say? Awesome game. Loved it. Had it on PC, then later PSX. Not sure why anyone would buy the PSX version, unless you were a bit of a hardcore fanboy!

Impressed a lady liked such game.

May have to go dig out old Diablo now...

My wife dislikes Diablo with the keyboard/mouse. otherwise she would never leave the house. I agree about the game. excellent!! there are other games very similar but none quite had that certain something.

I agree that Lego star wars the complete saga is the best of the Lego games but I'm a bit of a fan boy And therefore love them all. (even if the latter games are unstable and harry potter years 1-4 is completly un playable on my machine.)
