What was the best/worst LEGO video game?

[SimpleFish]

I played Lego Star Wars TCS and Lego Island 2 a lot as a young lad, those are probably my favorite.

• LEGO Racers
• LEGO Racers 2

these are my favorite, I played the forget of LR1, but LR2 I beat only once, but still had fun.
for me, the worse Lego game is Lego Island 2.

Lego Drome Racers was awesome to me. It took me awhile to figure out how to save my progress though. The worst Lego game probably had to be Lego Chima Online. However I did enjoy that game quite a bit. I just haven't played a lot of Lego games outside of Drome Racers and the rehashed series of Lego games.

If I were to pick the best of the rehashed series I would probably pick the Lego Movie Video Game as being the best of the worst. Lego Jurassic World is probably the worst one even though I don't find it to be too bad. Has anyone mentioned the Nintendo DS Lego games though? Like the Lego Batman series?

LEGO Movie Video Game is my personal pick for worst video game of all time. It is just one big box of stupid bullstuff.

If were talking modern lego games yeah but there are lego games from the 90s and early 2000s that are probably worse quality wise.

Did you not see my list on the previous page?

NOTE: I'm excluding console/handheld ports and cancelled LEGO games, of which there are quite a few. This is exclusively about PC games.

Man, has this topic got me into some heated arguments over the years. Let's start by ruling out the ones that simply can't be the best games, but could very well be the worst;

• LEGO Island, as said by lead designer Wes Jenkins himself, was never envisioned or designed like a game. It was a virtual toybox which you could just fiddle about in all the diddly damn long day. LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge is one of the worst games of all time, and LEGO Island: Xtreme Stunts isn't much better.
• Any LEGO game developed by Traveller's Tales after the original LEGO Star Wars is automatically disqualified due to constant rehashing and awful design choices that go completely against the very values of the LEGO brand. Even the few games that stand out (LEGO Jurassic World and LEGO Harry Potter) are still significantly flawed that they simply can't compete.
• LEGO Galidor and LEGO Friends. YUCK.
• LEGO Chess and LEGO Soccer Mania/LEGO Football Mania are very pale imitations of the real games and don't teach kids much about how to be really good at playing chess or those football games (like EA's FIFA series).
• LEGO LOCO and the LEGO Creator games (including the Harry Potter variants), regardless of any gameplay they tried to add, are basically just simulations and building toys.
• LEGO Universe, LEGO Minfigiures Online and LEGO Chima Online all had significant issues (LMO was literally a cookie-clicker with nice graphics), although LEGO Universe was probably the best of the lot.
• There's over 50+ LEGO Online Flash games of varying quality, but I don't think there's any standouts (except maybe Mata Nui Online, Backlot, World Builder and Junkbot) which could compare to the big standalone releases.
• To date, LEGO Stunt Rally is the only game to successfully pass The Orange Test and is about as challenging as having a wonderful wank.

This leaves the following games which are all valid for the title of Best LEGO Video Game:

• LEGO Rock Raiders
• LEGO Alpha Team
• LEGO Racers
• LEGO Racers 2
• LEGO Drome Racers
• LEGO Bionicle: The Game

As someone who owns almost all LEGO games and has been questing for the past few years to 100% them all, I can guarantee that at least one of those games on the list is total stuff and doesn't belong there, but I decided to be generous. I won't make my mind up just yet; I'll see what kind of bickering you people can come up with before I give my conclusive opinion.

I at least had a bit of fun with LEGO Island 2's physics. I didn't have any fun with LEGO Movie Video Game.
