Lego Party Review: Breaking a Genre Stranglehold
Let’s get it out of the way now. LEGO Party is Mario Party with a LEGO skin. That fact means that it lacks the charm of recognizable characters and can’t pull content from a legacy dating back before I was born.
On the other hand, LEGO Party is playable without owning a console by an uncompromising, creatively bankrupt, litigious company kept afloat by nostalgia-driven folks trying to relive a happier time. So I have to give it a point in its favor for that alone.
