The LEGO® NINJAGO® Movie Video Game, developed by TT Games, brings the charm of LEGO games to the action-packed world of Ninjago. Based on The LEGO NINJAGO Movie, the game offers a humorous take on the film’s story, where players join Lloyd and his ninja friends to defend Ninjago City from the evil Garmadon. The game retains LEGO’s signature humor and style, making it a delightful experience for younger players and fans of the franchise.

The story follows the movie closely, with cutscenes filled with jokes and over-the-top action sequences. While entertaining, it doesn’t expand much beyond the film’s narrative, making it less engaging for those already familiar with the plot. However, the vibrant world of Ninjago City, recreated in LEGO form, is a visual treat.

Gameplay is where the title shines and falters. The combat system introduces a more dynamic style compared to traditional LEGO games, with combos and special moves giving battles more variety. Exploration is rewarding, as players can find collectibles and unlock new characters. However, the levels can feel repetitive, and the puzzles are overly simplistic, offering little challenge to older players. The camera occasionally becomes a frustration during intense sequences, disrupting the flow of the game.

Overall, The LEGO® NINJAGO® Movie Video Game is a fun, lighthearted adventure perfect for younger audiences and LEGO enthusiasts. However, its lack of depth and repetitive gameplay may leave older players wanting more.

Score: 75/100

7/10 classic lego fun with some mini games thrown in

It's a funny cute game and My daughter loves it, but oh boy do I wish they cut off the tedious slow time padding interruptions for picking meaningless upgrades, or whenever you get a new character.
Overall a great children's game with several bad design elements that can make you pull the last remaining hairs from your bald head.
7/10
If anything for L-loyd. Garmadon deserves an Oscar.
