Lego Universe

[Gottaa]

Just ordered my copy for �17.99 at play.com, will see how I get on with it, not holding out a huge amount of hope, but it means no upgrades needed and seems nicely suited to casual play, the test will be if it means I play less minecraft

Played the Beta, very casual, aimed at a bit of a younger market i think

aye, foot races, car races, easy ability to change class by I think just changing your hat. Biggest concern is some say it feels like a single player game in size, but for �17.99 it's worth a try.

As I'd be playing maybe 2 or 3 hours a week at most I could be perfect though

Well an hours worth of messing around (which I wouldn't have done except I figured it would need an account to patch, but it didn't but having started the trial I wanted to give it a spin)

If you like the lego console games I'd say you will like this, at least for the hour that I have played, alot of things rather confusing which is the same for a new start in any MMO and really enjoying making sense of the various things. Only thing I'd like to see if a short quest log type display, but once I did start actually reading the quest text (and it isn't long unlike other MMO's) I felt less of a need for it.

Build mode seems rather less intuative but that could just be compared to Minecraft.

Overall for �17.95 now at Amazon it's worth a go

Am gonna activate my account on sunday and have a quick go, not sure about logevity but for 17 pounds it's worth a look I think.
