I hope there is a demo since I never played the first one.

I think its fun and funny if you listen to what the people have to say. The gameplay is good and works well with the gamepad. This and NSMBU are the best games out. I didnt like any other of Lego games and was skeptical but I am enjoying this one.
Pros: Great dialog
Tons to do
Missions are fun
Freeroaming is rewarding
Gamepad controls work well

Cons: Long loading times
Framerate drops are noticable
Graphics are not as polished as it should be
No multiplayer

All in all I would give it a solid 8/10. It is a good game with the only real detractors being graphics and loading times. You will forget about these when you get into the game and play for a bit. The dialog alone is worth the price of admission, I find myself continuing playing to hear what they are going to say next. "Chase, you need to access the compuper". The references are subtley adult but not to advanced for kids. I wish there was online co-op like a crackdown sort of way. Would have been a great addition, but all in all a solid game for a system that is floundering in the software department. Lets hope this is how the rest of the games fare from here on out.

Hopefully this will fix my Wii U. Everytime I turn it on it locks up and has did this since launch. I have to pull the plug everytime its turned on and then restart it and then it works fine. It gets to the log in and then locks up. Nintendo doesnt really seem to give a flying fiddly considering they already "fixed it" once. I sent it out and it didnt do a damn thing and now they are telling me if they replace it there is no guarantee all my saved stuff will tranfer.

What band are you running on your router? G/n dual. That makes a difference more than anything I've seen or tried.

I bought this from best buy for like 35 bucks when it came out. Pretty much all the stores are discounting the U games pretty heavily. In the US anyway.
