LEGO Uncovers the Legends of Chima for PlayStation Vita

Fighting fantasy

by Sammy Barker Wed 2nd Jan 2013

While the well of new third-party PlayStation Vita content may be a little bit dry, one property you can always count on is LEGO. Warner Bros has announced that it will be releasing LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval's Journey on Sony’s handheld this summer, a fantasy quest set in a brand new universe occupied by magical animal tribes.

“Players will embark on an amazing adventure into the world of Chima where the brave warrior Laval and his allies are called upon to fight for justice," the publisher explained in a press release. The title will be accompanied by an iOS kart racer, a free-to-play PC game, and plenty of toys.

I can't say i'm terribly excited by this, I cannot really see myself buying this.
Every month that goes by I find myself being more and more frightened of the coming death of PS Vita. I won't even mention the effect the 3DS vs. Vita sales figures you posted recently had on me. Can't you pursuade them to give you some good news to write about Sammy?

Is this a Traveller's Tales game? You have to remember that although they're they ones who earned the LEGO brand its positive reputation in gaming, they are NOT the only ones allowed to work with it.

EDIT: Oh, dope, the page says Traveller's Tales. Well could be interesting, then. Maybe not having a console version to be compared to will do it some good.

I'd rather a PS Vita version of Lego City Undercover but I'll still give this game a try. The Lego games are usually pretty good.

I have beaten all lego games in vita. I liked them. The platinum trophy was fun and easy too. I am not sure about Harry or Lord of the Rings but Batman was an upscaled port of the 3DS version. The 3DS version of Batman was an upscaled port of the DS version. Anyway I look forward to the new lego game.

While I somewhat enjoy Lego games on the Vita I have to admit, it bothers me that the games are the same as the ones on 3DS and DS when the system is much more capable than that. There is absolutely no reason that Lego Batman 2 Vita shouldn't have been identical to the home console version and when you look at games like Need for Speed Most Wanted, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Mortal Kombat, Rayman Origins and MLB 12 The Show, it makes it even less acceptable. Hopefully this time around Traveller's Tales actually uses the Vita to its full capability. And frankly it could do much more with the 3DS hardware as well.
