LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game Standard Edition - XBOX One

I bought this for my son who is eight years old. He really enjoyed it and I am very happy with my purchase.

The ONLY reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I personally haven't played it. My son bought this with his birthday money, but I have watched him play it and it looks great! There are different puzzles and a lot of things to do in the game. It's easy enough for a child under 10 to play, but not so easy that it is boring. The concept is fun and the characters are big wins in this house. This kid loves Ninjago. He doesn't love it as much as he loves Minecraft or Skylanders, but he likes it well enough and enjoys playing it.

Recent Lego games have become a little too 'open' for my tastes, but this one, while still following the open-world hub design, felt easier to navigate and work through in a systematic fashion... I was able to 100% beat the game and find all collectibles, and I never felt lost of overwhelmed. I also enjoyed the slight change to combat mechanics, which in other Lego games is simple and repetitive. The game's story follows the movie pretty closely, and clips from the movie are sprinkled in through the journey... although the voices (and some lines) felt like they'd been changed? Probably to be consistent with the new scenes added to fit between the old and new material. I highly recommend, even if you have become jaded of the Lego games.

One of the best Lego games so far IMO. Fighting is a little more involved than previous Lego entries, there's a skill branch system (easy to max out okay by story's end but that's okay for a kids' game), and everything looks far more superb than I ever thought a Lego game would. Even the coins just look detailed. Complete story mode in about ten hours plus more to find in unlocked free roam of all areas as per usual Lego format. Great game overall, great coop (though I'm a little disappointed that the dynamic split screen of previous Lego games went away), great usual Lego humor, great levels based on the movie with some bonus story parts that I don't think were in the movie (or were greatly expanded upon), and great for kids once again though some of the newer mechanics and tasks might be a little more difficult for younger kids than those of previous Lego games, so some might need more assistance.

We have had so much fun playing all of the Xbox LEGO games. This is a Christmas gift but from reading the packaging and knowing the product they have put out in tre past, I have no question this will please my 6 year old!
