Lego Racers

Description

Lego Racers is a racing game played from a third person perspective. Set in the fictional Legoland universe, the game depicts Rocket Racer, the “greatest racing champion” in Legoland. After becoming bored from beating everyone at racing, he decides to create a racing contest, and finds the best racers in the history of Legoland using a dimensional warp machine created by his friend, Veronica Voltage, a genius scientist and mechanic. The player takes on the hosts and co-racers in circuits of races in an attempt to reach and beat Rocket Racer and become the “Greatest Lego Racer of All Time”, completing the game. The circuits are contested by the player, the host, and four co-racers relevant to the themes of the tracks featured. The hosts are, in order, Captain Redbeard, King Kahuka, Basil the Batlord, Johnny Thunder, Baron Von Barron, Gypsy Moth, and Rocket Racer himself. In the first six circuits, there are a total of 12 unique tracks, four per circuit, and three per one of four themes: Castle, Pirates, Space, and Adventurers. The later three circuits revisit the tracks from the first three in reverse order with each track now mirrored. The final circuit consists of only one track: Rocket Racer Run, but still features four co-racers relevant to the previous tracks’ themes.

Players assume the role of either one of several pre-built or custom-built minifigures and compete against other minifigure characters in races set across different tracks in the Legoland universe, using a variety of cars built out of Lego. At the beginning of each race, the player can perform a “Turbo Start”, which allows the player to start the race at full speed. Throughout races, the player can also perform power slides and “Super Slides”, which allow the player’s car to turn around corners more sharply. …

Star Wars – Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace

Description

Twenty years before the original Star Wars (A New Hope), the Galactic Republic is undergoing a major political crisis because of a dispute on commercial taxation. Under the pretext of solving the crisis, the greedy Trade Federation has besieged the small planet of Naboo with armies of combat droids and space battleships. Two Jedi Knights, master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, a very young Obi-Wan Kenobi, are sent by the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic to negotiate the end of the blockade with the Trade Federation’s leaders. But little do the Jedi know that these events are only the beginning of a master plot by an ancient enemy to control the entire galaxy.

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is an action-adventure game based on the movie of the same name from 1999. Playing a number of characters from the movie -depending on which level you’re on-, including Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Queen Amidala of Naboo, and Captain Panaka of the Royal Security Forces, you undertake quests and side-quests, solve puzzles, and use weapons to defeat enemies -including your lightsaber, the weapon of a Jedi Knight-. While the story of the game is faithful to that of the movie, additions and extensions to the plot have been made for the sake of gameplay, including a mission detailing Amidala and Panaka’s attempts to reach the Senate Chamber on planet Coruscant. …

Dungeon Keeper 2

Description

Dungeon Keeper 2 is a “god game” which introduces the series to an entirely 3D engine (as opposed to the original’s engine with 3D environments and 2D unit sprites). As before, the player is tasked with the construction, expansion and maintenance of dungeons, as well as attracting, managing, and utilizing various evil creatures to fight the forces of good. Several creatures, spells, traps, and rooms are new to the series, while others received a visual redesign at most, and some were even replaced. The series’ trademark unit, the Horned Reaper, is now only called through a special support power and only one can be found on the map at a given moment. Spells are now cast using mana (an auto-generating resource proportional to the size of the dungeon) instead of gold, and can be upgraded once there are no new spells to research. Dropping creatures now stuns them (unless thrown into the new Combat Pit room).

The game’s campaign has the player enter the land of good and conquer it region by region while staying in the underworld. Enemies either stay in fixed, protected areas, or execute sneak attacks from inopportune directions. The boss of each level holds a portal gem which is used to access the overworld (off-screen) and claim the region. The game also features skirmish and multiplayer modes, as well as a sandbox mode titled “My Pet Dungeon”, where enemies only attack if the player wishes them to. …

Gruntz

Description

This puzzle game begins as the Gruntz – these are the creatures that the player controls throughout the game – are whisked off to another realm. These gruntz must venture through this new world to gather missing pieces of the Warp Stone to return home.

Most of the game requires players to lead their Gruntz through a series of mazes, where it becomes necessary to avoid “trapz,” find various “switchez” and try to recover the Warp Stone. Along the way, the army of Gruntz should grow as new “toolz,” and “toyz” (such as “beach ballz,” and “yo-yoz”) are found. There are over 60 tools to aid the players through their quest. …
