I mean, who doesn’t want to fly a monstrous mechanical green dragon? To further set itself apart from other Lego games, Ninjago includes some giant mech battles that are all sorts of crazy despite relaying on the obvious rail mechanics. Yes, a Lego game with an upgradable attack arsenal. Since this is a ninja game and there are different kinds of enemies, there are combo attacks, leaping aerial attacks, armour breaking attacks and even weapons. Now, there is a hovering blue arrow always pointing and lighting the way to the next area and objective.Īlso absent are the traditional, one-note Lego attacks. Traveller’s Tales has solved the problem of some players becoming lost and not knowing where to go or what to do next. Ninjago still has puzzles but they are really, really straight-forward such as using a ninja’s powers to open a specific portal or manoeuvring two ninjas to stand on pressure plates at the same time. It is a change that breaks up the monotony and keeps the momentum flowing. The focus is now on action, adventure rather than solving elaborate puzzles in one area after the next, after the next. Ninjago continues the welcome change Traveller’s Tales brought to the Lego game format starting with Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. So, despite there not being a giant floating head alerting them to missions and giving them advice, the Lego ninjas might as well be defending Angel Grove. Similarly to Power Rangers, each ninja has their own giant mechanized robot to defend Ninjago with.
