There are a few companies out there that enjoy remaking slightly tweaked or re-skinned versions ofthe same game, over and again – but there are only a few games that can do it and still keep it fresh. Nintendo does it with Zelda, Mario and Metroid (and is losing its knack if you ask me). BioWare has done it with KOTOR and Mass Effecct.

Traveller’s Tales is now trying it too with Lego Star Wars (in all its iterations and forms), Lego Indy and Lego Batman – and frankly the cracks are beginning to show. The gameplay is tired, dull and repetitive. There’s nothing here we haven’t already seen and what there is, just isn’t as funny as it all used to be because we’ve seen it to many times. It’s very much gaming by a formula – and this is a formula which has been done into the ground.
