Okay, enough about the video game and on to the actual review of the Portal Level Pack! LEGO have committed to supporting LEGO Dimensions for the first 3 years – here’s a schedule of the upcoming waves of Level Packs, Fun Packs and Team Packs so you can plan your purchases accordingly. You can then unlock additional characters in-game through Fun Packs (1 minifig) and Team Packs (2 minifigs) as well as additional worlds and levels through Level Packs. The core game is contained within a Starter Pack which comes with a Toy Pad that detects the NFC-enabled bases to unlock additional content. How does LEGO Dimensions work? It’s a video game (for the Xbox One, PS4, Wii U) that’s in the same mould as previous LEGO Games – expect tons of platforming, exploring and running around shooting stuff up. LEGO’s foray into the US$600m toys-to-life industry is underpinned by the playability of the actual LEGO models – unlike Disney Infinity, Skylanders or Nintendo’s Amiibo which are usually static figures, the lure of building, destroying and rebuilding models should warrant some amount of success for LEGO Dimensions. LEGO Dimensions is not an entirely original concept but The LEGO Group and TT Games have ensured that the execution remains fresh. Price: AU$39.99 – Available at Target, EB Games, JB Hifi, Big W and other game stores Let’s get into a short review of the LEGO elements of the Portal Level Pack! That didn’t stop me from picking up the Portal Level Pack as I am a huge fan of the game and this is pretty much one of my dream LEGO licenses. I don’t have a current-gen game console (I’m a PC gamer) so I won’t be able to comment or review the actual game itself.

LEGO Dimensions represents the next evolution of LEGO’s efforts to remain relevant in an age where digital devices such as consoles & smartphones are one of the primary sources of entertainment for children. For those unfamiliar with LEGO’s history, the company has always been obsessed with “winning” the video game-crazy generation over. Last week, LEGO Dimensions launched with much fanfare, heralding a brand new era for LEGO as it seeks to blur the lines between digital and physical play.
