"If you are a Lego fan, both of their games and the toys then Lego Dimensions is definitely for you.
Before buying this pack, it had been ages since I have played with my Legos, however the joy of putting this little gamepad together has brought up all those memories from before I went to college and I am starting now a Lego spree...
Game wise, its your average Lego Game experience. You choose your character, jump and solve puzzles however Dimensions does make it more interesting than before since you now have to solve puzzles in the game and in your Toy Pad by switching your toys around.
It allows local CO-OP which is great, since it allows me to play with my girlfriend on the same screen.
The only downside here is the high price tag attached to the other packs, which sooner or later we have to buy since some parts of the game require that we have characters with different abilities.
NOTE: these extra toys are not required for the story missions, at least not so far for me. You are given an option during the levels and open worlds to "rent" the necessary character for a few seconds in exchange for some game currency (that you get from playing and stuff), this is usually enough for you to access specific areas that require a laser for example or someone small to crawl through a hole - which is a great feature."
