The LEGO® Movie - Videogame follows Emmet, an ordinary figure swept into a resistance mission against Lord Business. The premise draws its humor from the mismatch between the scale of the task and Emmet’s lack of preparation: he is “hopelessly and hilariously unprepared” for the quest ahead.
Emmet is joined by an unlikely group of resistance fighters as they try to thwart Lord Business’ plans. The game’s roster is a particular draw, bringing together more than 90 playable characters. Familiar names range from Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to the Green Ninja, Gandalf, Shakespeare and Cleopatra.
That broad cast gives the adventure an unusual LEGO mash-up identity, mixing superheroes, fantasy figures and historical characters in one story. Rather than centering on a single established hero, the game frames its journey around Emmet and the assorted allies around him. Its appeal rests on that contrast: a wildly varied team, a clear villain-focused mission and a comic lead who seems ill-suited to the heroic task.
