LEGO Battles Erupt on DS

[Demon_Skeith]

Traveller's Tales and The LEGO Group have been cranking out successful LEGO games based on well-known properties for a few years now. Today the two companies, along with Warner Bros., announced the next Nintendo DS LEGO game, but apparently won't be licensed. Titled LEGO Battles, it will be built with pieces of the LEGO Castle, LEGO Pirates, and LEGO Space themes. It's being developed by Hellbent Games, whose only credit seems to be the Xbox 360 version of Supreme Commander.

Players will be building their own LEGO bases in battles that span 70 levels and six storylines. The pirates, wizards, aliens, ninja, and dragons that populate these universes will all be fighting with and alongside each other. Multiplayer skirmishes will also be available.

LEGO Battles will be released this summer.

sounds very intersting, but not so sure how it'll sell without any licensing from some popular theme.

i think those were the main draw to the LEGO series, was reliving those pop-culture themes.

the star wara original trilogy was a fantacstic game. i went back, and got almost all the xbox trophies, except where you had to beat stages without dying ... impossible

70 levels seem like a lot of levels and six storylines seem to be a lot of content for a game. I wonder how they make the gameplay non-repetitive with so many levels.
