But I loved the Lego Star Wars gameplay, and I'm sure even without liking the license, I'll enjoy this game.

@mellowsmoothe:
Based on how the movie ended, I'd have guessed Marcus "Field-Expert" Brody, but I just watched it again for that specific scene and it's clearly Dr. Jones Sr. (you can see the dark-bley pith helmet they used for his hat in the Motorcycle Chase set). Brody is, however, riding backwards, so I feel somewhat vindicated in my first guess.

I'm assuming this is another built-in joke like how if you have Lando "shoot" at Leia from close range, he instead leans her back and gives her a lesson in Correllian Tonsil Hockey. Or how pushing the Force button for Slave Leia makes her start bellydancing, and doing the same for the Gamorrean Guard makes him start playing air guitar with his axe.

@the-hypnotoad:
Batman (multiple costumes), Gordon, Prof. Strange, Robin (multiple costumes), Joker, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Alfred, Riddler, Mad Hatter, Firefly, Mr. Freeze, Clayface, Poison Ivy, Batgirl, Manbat, Ra's al Ghul, Bullock, Fox, Croc, Nightwing, Black Mask, Ventriloquist/Scarface, Harley Quinn, Bane, Phantasm/Reaper, Hush...and that's 30 right there without even having to borrow related heroes like Huntress and the Creeper, or defunct characters like Azrael. And we already know that both Batman and Robin will be getting several costumes each. Besides, look at the "variety" of Star Wars characters in the previous games that's left over once you start weaning out all of the costume/trooper variations. How many different versions of Luke did they include? How many different paint jobs on the same stock Clonetrooper? None of those actually produce different gameplay, but they were thrown in there for the sake of completion. If they hadn't, people would bitch about how they left out so-and-so's favorite Clonetrooper, or how it doesn't look right for Luke to be fighting the Rancor in his old farmboy togs.

Now, I have no doubt that roughly half of the Batman villains I listed will never be included because they're not considered familiar enough, but many of the Star Wars characters that made it into the game weren't household names either. The only difference is that all the LEGO Batman villains are supposed to have unique abilities that need to be coded individually (where all the Clonetroopers are just skin-swaps on the same core character mechanic), and you'll probably be facing off against only one or two major villains in each mission.

But maybe I'm thinking about it wrong; maybe instead of collecting characters you'll collect utility belt items, bat vehicles and stuff to fill up the batcave (remember that giant penny, stuff like that). Plus it's not like you ever use 75% of the guys you unlock in TCS anyway.

Hell, who am I kidding, Travelers Tales has always delivered and I'm sure these games will be no exception.

I'm really sorry, but as soon as I saw this video, I couldn't resist making this pic. :)

And there are many funny parts too, nice to see the "grade" of humour is still intact :D

Will hopefully be grabbing this one at release.

And all these Lego Island references are bringing back memories. Remember my brother playing that, in between batches of me playing Virtual Springfield, for hours when we were youngsters.

@frostcircus:
I just finished watching all 40 hours of Indiana Jones adventures in preparation for the release of Indy IV (should have time to watch the remaining 15 hours of bonus features by then as well).

@the-hypnotoad:
Geek cred revoked.

Wow, after 70 years of history I would think people would recognize the Joker, Batmobile, and Gotham.

Especially after several movies, live action show, a few cartoons, various comics, and all those wonderful toys (according to the Joker anyroad).

I do hope they pull it off of course but they've got one hell of a bar to measure up to - one they created themselves.

Those were hardcore. Legoland was basically a Roller Coaster Tycoon clone, but it was awesome because you were guided by a LEGO character with a British accent.

LEGO Island was basically Grand Theft LEGO. It was awesome. I can't find the disc though. :(

I'm not ashamed to say this is my most anticipated game since Half-Life 2.
