The LEGO® Movie - Videogame

Compared to other Lego-games it is rather mediocre. Quite buggy and crashed 3 times during playing.

5.5/10

Everything is awesome 10/10

8/10

very good game i enjoyed my playthrough plus i remember playing this on my WII U and was happy when i saw it on steam

great choice to return to the LEGO games.

this game gave me my childhood i had it for the PlayStation 3 but when it's at 99.0 or something it Always crashes so this is the only one i have for my PC thank you

Big vibes

A near perfect adaptation/extension of the movie with the generic lego game playstyle.

Its got a fairly decent level selection but the game is plagued with bugs and glitches especially in more modern hardwares leading to a lot of game breaking parts, especially the cloud cuckoo land stages because throughout the game this specific stage will keep on breaking especially on modern hardware and the only way to fix it is by messing around with the vsync, screen resolution and aspect ratio settings.

Character selection is a bit odd as half of the game is random npcs you encounter while the other half is alternate costumes of each character.

Lastly this game is fun especially when you enjoyed the film

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME

me like [:

This is as fun as any other LEGO Game and addictive

This is game is so fun 11 years later

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME

absolute cinema

Classic fun for all ages

Fun and easy to 100 percent except for a few collectibles but none feel impossible. One issue though; the game can be inconsistent and glitch in some levels and fine in others. Specfically, in free play mode, some levels let you sequence break to quickly get to missed collectibles while some softlock and have to be reset. Either way, great game to get on sale and does go on sale quite often.

What can I say I have a soft spot for LEGO games they are part of my childhood and I almost forgot how much I enjoy them even now that I am 22 years old

It is an aesthetic game

At first glance, Garfield Kart: Furious Racing and The LEGO® Movie - Videogame may seem like vastly different experience with one (the better one) being a hardcore kart racer set in the world of Jim Davis’s iconic lasagna loving cat, and the other a puzzle platformer based on the LEGO® Movie. However, beneath their surfaces, both games explore surprisingly similar philosophical themes regarding creation, control, and godhood.

In The LEGO® Movie - Videogame, players play as Emmet, a nobody, who initially believes he is just like everyone else. Over time, Emmet comes to realize that his universe is not a self contained reality but rather an artifical construct shaped by The Man Upstairs, a godlike figure who represents the human creator of the LEGO® world, Mega-mind. Emmet’s journey is one of existential awakening he shifts from a passive participant in a rigid system to someone who can bend the rules, shaping the world around him with newfound agency.

Garfield Kart: Furious Racing presents a parallel, if more subtle, version of this metaphysical struggle. The game’s world exists entirely at the whims of Garfield, a being who is, for all intents and purposes, its supreme deity. Garfield, as conceived in Jim Davis’s comics and extended universe, is not just a cat but an agent of reality. His world operates under rules of his choosing; time bends to his laziness, physics defers to his hunger, and his desires (lasagna) override logic. Within Garfield Kart, the very act of racing exists not because of any natural law, but because Garfield wills it so.

In both games, the protagonist’s relationship with creation is central. In the LEGO® Movie - Videogame, Emmet starts as a mere pawn in a preordained system but gradually attains godhood upon realizing the artificial nature of his world. By contrast, Garfield is already a god. His world functions solely because he wishes it to. The other racers (Odie, Jon, Nermal, etc.) are not so much independent beings as they are elements of his domain expansion; infinite lasagnas. Their ability to drive karts is not so much an inherent skill as it is a comedic construct dictated by Garfield’s amusement. This is further emphasized by its implicit reference to the Sonic Racing™ series, in which characters capable of running at supersonic speeds paradoxically rely on vehicles traveling at conventional speeds.

The tracks in Garfield Kart are not mere locations; they are manifestations of Garfield’s dreamlike whims. From the lazy suburban streets to fantastical environments, they reflect the cartoonish, consequence free nature of his world, where nothing happens unless it serves the joke (Nermal). Much like The Man Upstairs with his LEGO® creation, Garfield enforces his reality’s logic and ensures the world remains in line with his own preferences. The player, by assuming control of Garfield and racing in this fabricated world, steps into a position of privileged awareness; not unlike Emmet when he recognizes the truth of his own realty.

Both games engage with the theme of self awareness leading to power. Emmet’s journey is one of transcendence, he begins as an ordinary figure but, through the realization of the artificial nature of his world, atains godlike creative power. In contrast, Garfield starts from a place of absolute power. He is not just a character; he is the world’s storyteller, the one who died for our sins. To play Garfield Kart is to step into the mind of a god, piloting an avatar of ultimate, lazy omnipotance.

In a way, Garfield Kart: Furious Racing could be seen as a postmodern critique of traditional game narratives. Where most games provide the illusion of struggle and progress, Garfield’s reality is static; there is no true threat other than its creator, no real consequence, only an endless loop of racing as dictated by his own amusement. In contrast to Emmet’s rise to godhood, Garfield has already won before the race even begins; he is the strongest scourer in history, whereas Emmet is the strongest sorcerer of today.

Ultimately, The LEGO® Movie - Videogame and Garfield Kart: Furious Racing share a core philosophical foundation: the player assumes the role of a being within a controlled world, engaging with themes of creation, free will, and the realization of one’s place in a larger, fabricated reality. While Emmet must awaken to his godhood, Garfield has already ascended throughout heaven and earth, and he alone is the honored one.

It has the LEGO movie in the video game in it

kren

Really fun but has a moderate amount of glitches, including Steam achievements. I don't have the Welcome To Bricksburg achievement despite having all the red bricks. Now I have to create a new save file just to get all red bricks again in hopes of the achievement popping up.

HOOOOOOLYY SHIT

Picked this up again for the nostalgia, had a very nice time with it. Lacks in content compared to other Lego games, but not bad at all.

7.8/10 not enough Unikitty

Lego Movie Videogame is a lot of fun, and one of the highlights for me is definitely the evil unicorn! It's such a fun, quirky character that adds a lot of charm to the game. The humor in this game is spot on, and the evil unicorn is a perfect example of how the Lego Movie franchise blends absurdity and fun into something that’s impossible not to love.

The game itself is a great mix of puzzle-solving, action, and humor, staying true to the feel of the movie. The evil unicorn, with its funny yet menacing personality, really stood out and added an extra layer of enjoyment for me. It’s these kinds of oddball characters that make the game so entertaining, and they keep you coming back for more laughs and good times.

very nice gameplay but the end achievments are difficult

Not the best lego game out there but it's still a good time.
Pretty much the movie with gameplay.
4.8/10

ahhh... bring back childhood memories

I love The LEGO Movie! But uh... this is a pretty samey experience. So I guess if you are a big LEGO-head then uh... maybe? but there's way better lego games out there. also the dance minigames can eat my BALLS

Peak

good game

bench glitch

Originally had this game on the Xbox 360, bought it on here again for a nice nostalgia trip experience on Steam Deck. Looking forward to getting some good hours put into this.

good

good

It's awesome. Just like the double-decker couch.

got it on sale 100% worth it game of the year

very lego indeed

Some very good and fun nostalgia.

very good very good

Everything WAS awesome! But now I'm a grown-ass man.

Made my childhood. Happy 11 year anniversary!

This game runs smoothly on modern computers and Windows 11. The replayability of this game is very high because there are a lot of things to find and to unlock even after you have completed the story mode.

If you're wondering yes everything was awesome

I stepped on a lego and my foot started bleeding

Will play again

Its A Cool game I got the cups for it in mcdonalds one time

DO NOT PLAY, this game is so glitchy theres always atleast one softlock happening i never made it past attack on cloud cuckoo land because Theres always one softlock

Fun, quick Lego game to 100%. Only 15 levels with an estimated time of 15 hours to 20 hours to 100%. Compared to other very grindy Lego games I've played in the past, this was a nice easy-going game to play for a little bit.


Here is a list of bugs I ran into and what I did to resolve the issues:

Level 1 - (Free play) Unable to enter the dance mini-game. I got it to work by having no extras turned on and building both speakers while playing as the original level characters (Emmet and Gail).

Level 3 - (Story) When needing to attack the 4 robots in the alley, 1 of them got stuck behind an unbreakable door. Had to replay the level multiple times until I was able to kill him through the wall.

Level 4 - (Free play) On the last area where you're getting chased, I was going the opposite direction around the track so I was unable to destroy the 3 caravans for the last gold manual of the level. Had to just keep replaying the level until I was going in the correct direction.

Level 7 - (Both story & Free play) Cut scene soft locks because Abraham Lincoln falls off the edge. Had to turn VSync on to fix this.

Bonus Room: When driving the little car, game lagged very badly which made the car gold brick not optainable. Had to turn VSync to the 30Hz option to make the car not lag.

Additionally, I somehow managed to get a character stuck a handful of times.


Overall, the game is fun and I'd give it like a 7/10. If it wasn't for so many bugs I experienced I would've rated it higher. Buy the game when it's on sale and you can get it for a low price of $2. Typical Lego game so it's fun for any age to play. I do not recommend buying the 2nd Lego Movie Video game. That game is quite poor and no way comparable to this one.
