This is a listing of alternate installers created for LEGO Media video games to replace the aging and often-incompatible ones on the disc. This will help you install the game on modern computers. In most cases, they do nothing to actually get the game running. There are other topics that detail troubleshooting each game. This list will be expanded as more installers are written.

So yeah, I was actually looking forward to Dimensions, believe it or not. The absurd price tag was a huge turnoff, but I bit the bullet and bought it anyway. I just finished the game. It wasn't the longest, but considering I played the entire thing straight through with no breaks, I think the length of the game was sufficient. So was it worth the price? Eeeeehhhhhh. I did enjoy it, a lot, while I was playing. But now that it's over I'm really feeling the hole it blew in my bank account. Looking back on it, it just doesn't seem like there was that much game there. Sure, there are 15 story levels, which is good. But one of the biggest draws of the LEGO series, the huge roster of characters, is completely absent. You only get 3 characters in the base game, and the rest much be purchased. This doesn't really bother me THAT much- after all, that is kind of the point of the game. But lack of characters me lack of unique abilities, abilities REQUIRED for 100%ing the game. I dunno, I may be missing something, but it does not seem like you can 100% the story with only the base set. THAT is complete BS right there, and it is the biggest source of regret for my purchase. I was always quick to defend the game, saying that it's still a complete game without buying any of the expansions, but it seems I was mistaken. Then there are the hub worlds, which I had to waste my limited data on downloading an update for the game (on launch day!) to access, only to be told that I still can't access them because they can only be entered by a character from that series. Two of these worlds weren't even represented in the story! Oh and on a similar note, though this isn't a huge deal but I feel it's worth mentioning. I felt like most of the franchises were only there for the sake of being there, and didn't really have any significant impact. For the most part it was "LEGO Batman, Doctor Who and Portal: The Game". They made a big deal about getting the original actors for a lot of the voices but very few characters had more than a couple lines of dialogue, and for that matter I'm pretty sure all the Ghostbusters's voice clips were taken straight from the movie. Again, not a HUGE deal, but I had to mention it. I want to like this game. It's enjoyable, and just taking it by itself I really do like what's there. But to have SUCH a huge upfront price, only to have SO MUCH content that requires EVEN MORE payment to unlock, really takes away from the experience. Do I regret buying the game? Maybe a little. I don't regret PLAYING it, that's for certain, the time was well spent. But the money, not so much. I would love to recomend the game if it was but a little bit cheaper, or had but a little bit more content in it- but as it stands, it doesn't, so I really can't say it's worth it. I wouldn't say to avoid the game completely, but do think really really hard and make absolutely sure you want it before making the investment. And that's my two cents, or rather, my 100 dollars.

I've had more time to think it over now. After the initial disappointment of "that's it?" wore off, I think I'm more satisfied than I was initially. That said, I think I stand by pretty much all of what I wrote here. I really, really like this game, but the price is just too high. I'm glad I have it, but I do believe that the cost is a valid reason to pass it up. There are a few things I would like to elaborate on, and a few comments here I want to respond to, but I don;t want to deal with trying to format a long reply with several quote in this terrible editor. I'm going to play the game some more, see just how much I can do without any of the expansions. So far I've only done the bare minimum of the game, I haven't even bothered trying to get the minikits nor have I spent more than a minute or two in the three hub worlds that came with the base set. Who knows, maybe there actually is more content there than I gave it credit for.

Easily solved. https://wwwsecure.us.lego.com/en-gb/service/buildinginstructions/search?initialsearch=71203#?text=71203 TLG uploaded all of the instructions for the mini-models this morning, so you don't have to get the game to build them. EDIT: I literally just noticed Qui's post above I'm too tired for this

Do not despair!

Reminds me of this

See, this is one of the things that bothered me the most about the concept. I've seen the game being praised as a story game, a game that gives a unique, quintessentially LEGO story and game where there was none before. But it's exactly like every other LEGO game, it just has several licenses at once instead of one. And I get to the Simpsons level and it's not like, "okay, here are the Simpsons and here's there contribution to the story" its "hey guys you like the simpsons right remember the simpsons? lol those wacky simpsons" in the background as you replay the lego movie videogame and lego batman 3. (didn't buy the game, just watching a walkthrough, but it works out to be about the same I think)
