The game is even more exciting because of the toy pad, which figurines are placed on during gameplay. They will be used largely in the solving puzzles and accomplishing certain tasks. Gamers can move the physical LEGO figurines around the pad to move them in-game, notes Softpedia.
"Lego Dimensions" also features levels in "Scooby Doo" world. According to PlayStation Lifestyle, everything in this world is cel-shaded to give it an old cartoon look. It also features a voice acting that is very similar to the classic cartoons and even entertain veteran gamers during cut-scenes wherein all the characters act as they are in the cartoon show. Daphne is courageous, Velma is smart, Scooby and Shaggy are goofs and Fred is being a tool. There will still be silly side-comments and actions outside the cut-scenes though. One action that is very similar to the cartoon show is Scooby sneaking on certain things, hunkering low or tiptoeing along the floor.
The game is said to be a very promising one, aiming to give fans a fun and different kind of LEGO gaming experience. "LEGO Dimensions" will hit store shelves on Sept. 27 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U.
