Do your kids love Legos? My kids love all Legos. They love the Lego sets, Lego Movies and Lego Xbox games. To say they love Lego's is an understatement. We also have multiple sets of Legos and even bought a custom set so we would have even more Lego's to build with.
A while back we were shopping in Kansas City. We saw a great deal on the Lego Dimensions Xbox 360 game and had to get it (Yes it is the old Xbox). My kids love the game. It comes with three standard characters, Gandolf, Batman and Batmobile and Wyldstyle. More packs can be added to add even more characters to the game. We also bought Princess Unikitty, Legolas, Gimli, Chase McCain, Emmet, and Mr T.

Lego Dimensions is available on many gaming system platforms; PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox One, Xbox 360. It is recommended for ages 10+. My kids are 4 and 6 and have no problem playing it.
How does it work?
Lego Dimensions is sold as a separate set for each gaming system, but the game is the same for each system. This unique disc is installed to the gaming system. There is a blue unassembled USB Lego Toy Pad that comes the basic set. There are three standard unassembled characters and one vehicle that come in the basic set; Gandolf, Batman and Batmobile and Wyldstyle. These characters and their vehicles can be used in the game by placing them on the blue platform. There are 14 levels in the game based on different movies and shows and a new Lego Dimension world. The object of the game is to complete each level by completing tasks.
To add even more levels Story Packs, six levels and Level Packs, one level can be purchased. To use more characters/vehicles in the game character packs can be purchased. The Story and Level packs come with more characters. Characters are also sold separately with their own vehicles.

What did we think?
My kids love the Lego games. I love the Lego games for them because they are generally very clean. They are a little sarcastic. Kids can work on; building skills, teamwork and following instructions when playing. They also get to play along with a fun story. I like that the game is a finite game unlike Minecraft which goes on forever. The only way to expand the game is to add more finite levels.
I love this game because it is expandable. More unique characters and levels can be added. I love that the game is the same for all the systems and a new base game does not need to be purchased to expand the levels. This saves space and money.
What would I change?
Because the game takes place in so many universes I would only change to have some of the levels optional. For example I would opt to not let my kids play in the Simpsons universe. I would love to have a kid version of the game where it was more centered on characters younger kids know. Then it would be perfect. I would love a Disney themed Lego Dimensions.
