The Lego Movie 2 game is a bit more than a game of the film
Everything's alright, actually.
Everyone knows it's tough to make a film version of a video game, but I'd venture it's also pretty difficult the other way around. You have to take a 90-minute movie with a three-act plot and stretch it into a 20-hour game without too much filler? Rather you than me. I remember Capcom's Aladdin on the SNES - designed by a pre-Resident Evil Shinji Mikami - and its lengthy platforming sections set within Genie's lamp that I'm pretty certain do not occur at any point within Disney canon. And if Mikami had enjoyed making that, I suspect, we would never have got Dino Crisis.

Opinion | Bethesda's anti-consumer review policy comes as no surprise
And reminds us not to pre-order video games.
Last night, Bethesda laid clear its policy on media reviews from Dishonored 2 onwards.

It's not a particularly surprising statement, even if Bethesda deemed it shocking enough to put behind an age gate.
