There’s been tons of fun games about Lego, no doubt about it. But every game has always been the theme of Lego overlaid on another. Such as Lego Racing; you build a car to race with. Also, the actual environment/background is not made of Lego. The purpose is to race a car, and the building of the car is a facet of the game. The same is true for… any of them,really. Lego Marvel Superheroes, Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel Superheroes, DC Supervillians, Lord of the Rings… etc. It’s a world with a ‘skin’ on Lego thrown on top. (Not that it’s not lovely)

LEGO Bricktales is absurdly fun and very intuitive controls (I actually play one-handed!), but horribly controlled with a controller.

      LEGO is a trademarked name

      Correct way to talk about Lego bricks is to say Lego bricks

      “Pass me all your Lego!” Is not a correct sentence. “Pass me all your Lego bricks!”

      If there were 15 Lamborghini cars in a parking lot. You’d say “That’s a lot of Lamborghinis”

      Lamborghini doesn’t have to worry about Lamborghini becoming synonymous with “cars”. So Lamborghini doesn’t care.

      If everyone keep saying “Legos” for “Plastic Bricks”. Lego could have a trademark situation on their hands, so they try their hardest to stop people calling the individual plastic blocks Legos.

      It being plural is like a myth.

      I have many Lego. I enjoy playing with my Lego. My Lego makes me happy.
