LEGO Universe: 'LEGO Star Wars (http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/02/lego-universe-l.html) Multiplied By A Million'


SAN FRANCISCO -- LEGO Universe, the upcoming LEGO-branded MMO, can best be described as "LEGO Star Wars multiplied by a million," according to Mark Hansen, the Director of Business Development for the LEGO Group.


Tentatively set for release in 2009, LEGO Universe seeks to provide gamers with "a virtual extension of the real-world LEGO" gameplay, by allowing MMO fans a chance to virtually live among each of the thousands of LEGO sets that have been created over the years.

Certainly it is still too early to judge the game entirely, but as long as LEGO maintains their trademark attention to detail and appeases the rabid fanbase they've created in the preceding 70 years, LEGO Universe could be the Wii of MMOs; It certainly bucks trends, but it does so with such confidence that players may very well adore a fresh take on the stale, overcrowded genre.

LEGO Universe: 'LEGO Star Wars (http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/02/lego-universe-l.html) Multiplied By A Million'I could see myself playing a game like that. :eek:

If it truly incorporates all the Lego playsets it would be really absorbing. I wonder how they will do the bionicle and exoforce sets?
